Please note that to the writer, elegant is different from "Flashy"...which is why no finned monsters of the 50s-60s are included.
The idea is to be understated....something many U.S. car firms (yes, GM, I'm looking at you) have had trouble with.
And sometimes they still do. Compare a new Corvette to a new Ferrari. Count the vents (which contrast from body color). The new Corvette makes an international joke about American styling and tastes.
The 75 Seville was a nice car and was one of the few Cadillacs to be genuinely admired in Europe.
And Fox haters please note: the story is from Hagerty insurance.63 Avanti R1 2788

If you count the 1954 same as 1953 my father owns two on this list (the other being a beautiful 1956 Lincoln).
When I was a kid we had a 1976(?) Seville. I always liked the style,. but the build quality was POOR. The door panels were coming off and it was less than a few years old. I don't remember much else."Madness...is the exception in individuals, but the rule in groups" - Nietzsche.
