The “small” Cadillac is a spacious five-seater with 5.7-litre V8 engine, automatic transmission and a luxurious interior. Power steering, electric adjustment of seats for reach and tilt, electric windows, centre armrests front and rear, and air conditioning with automatic temperature control are standard equipment. The engine has electronic injection, front brake discs are ventilated and there is a space-saving spare wheel with gas cylinder to inflate it.

Seville, the smallest Cadillac for years, certainly reflects the way America is thinking in these days of conservation and inflation. Powered by a 5.7-litre V8 engine produced in the Oldsmobile works, the Seville has an angular four-door saloon body mounted on a 290 cm wheelbase -somewhat more modest than the 338 cm wheelbases of the larger ‘Caddys’. The interior is sumptuously-trimmed, and there is pneumatic self-levelling suspension.
