1976 Cadillac Seville — EFI V8, Silver over Red Leather, 34,294 Miles, Fisher Body Why This Car Is Special The 1976 Cadillac Seville was not a typical American luxury car. It was Cadillac's deliberate answer to the European competition — Mercedes-Benz and BMW specifically — that was beginning to attract buyers who wanted something smaller, tighter, and more refined than the traditional full-size American luxury barges of the era.
