Cadillac Seville Gucci
The 1975 Seville was maybe shocking to Cadillac purists as the first downsized Caddy ever and an affordable luxury car. But it was a brilliant move by the company and one of the best US sedans of the late ’70s. After the 1970-77 period marked by big land yachts and heavy cruisers, Cadillac realized that the market had turned to more agile and precise foreign cars such as the Mercedes W116 S Class. So it decided to introduce a smaller and more modern car that was every bit a Cadillac so the market would accept it as such (via Classic Driver).
The 1975 Seville was the perfect car for the time and sales exceeded expectations. The Seville was elegant, perfectly sized, and reasonably powerful. It came with a long list of options and trim choices, including an attractive Slantback body style and even a Gucci-themed trim package.
