I like this a lot. These Sevilles may never be a valuable collector car but they are historically significant.

Yes..........this was one of Bill Mitchell's last designs before he retired from GM in 1977. I was reading one of the Corvette magazines back in high school in '77 and they were interviewing him. As they questioned him about his designs, one of the things he said with what seemed like great enthusiasm.........."Wait till you see our next Seville!"

This would also be the last generation of cars that used the North-South arrangement of the FWD platform (like the original '67 Eldorado), as the next gen intro'd for '86 was waaaaay watered down with their tranverse engines, and IMO marked a low point in Cadillac until they started to make inroads again in the '90's.

Valuable collector car? Hmmm...........one never knows but I am starting to see these turn up at the car shows, and they do gather a bit of a crowd. ;)

One unique Cad you have there!
Seville by Bill Hines. Never thought I would see a custom of these.
