HISTORY:

The second generation Seville (1980-1985) was one of the last vehicles designed by famed GM stylist, Bill Mitchell. A unique ensemble of tradition in design with it's slicked-back windscreen and square-ish solid lines and the rear of the car having a pastiche of vintage high-end English limousine styling with nods to the Hooper-bodied 1954 Rolls-Royce and any number of Daimlers.

The iconic lines of this car date back to the late 1960s in various GM design studio drawings and made its debut in the fall of 1979 to great fanfare and controversy. Getting better looking as the years go by as they evolve into a timeless classic. Although there were decent production numbers for this body's 6 year run, very few were saved by collectors, mainly because of the popularity of the midsized coupes of this era. This is proving to have been a big oversight. On any given day you can find a nice low mile Eldorado of this generation but the low mile Seville’s are very scarce and have become very sought after. The demand for this body amongst collectors have more than doubled in the last 5 years as many Cadillac aficionados are snapping up the best examples for their collections. Hemmings Classic Car magazine predicts this model will be one of the few collectible Cadillac’s.
