The Seville, introduced in 1975, was Cadillac's answer to the rising popularity of luxury imports in the U.S. from Europe, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Historically, these imported luxury cars had been cheaper, less luxurious and significantly smaller than Cadillac's. Over time they had evolved, becoming quite luxurious and even more expensive than the much larger Cadillac's. As the market share of these imports continued to climb, it became obvious that the traditional American automotive paradigm of "bigger equals better" was no longer in full effect in the marketplace. The Seville became the smallest and most expensive model in the lineup, turning Cadillac's traditional marketing and pricing strategy upside down.This particular 1978 Cadillac Seville has been purchased from a collection out of Southern California where it has been meticulously maintained traveling only 63,925 miles.
