1987 CADILLAC SEVILLE

The Seville shared the Eldorado's new features and design changes. New rear electric door locks allowing the driver to lock all doors after opening one rear door without returning to the front door was a welcomed feature. The Seville had a standard dual-tone finish; the Elegante had a two-color mid-tone finish. A monotone finish was available for both models. The base Seville was also available in the mid-tone finish.
