Im looking , at one time Iwas told there were 300 left world wide could be you never know, a lot of the sevilles were made into  convertables which were none eldorados,

g27g28

In the mid 80s there was one in a antique car junkyard north of Hutchinson KS.  It was white and still had air suspension.  I didn't get the numbers off of it.  If someone hasn't bought it it should still be there.
1941 Series 62
1954 Coupe DeVille
1978 Phaeton
1980 Fleetwood

Isn't the first one he listed a 60 seville?

Poor cars :(

linchero

that person who left the 59 and the 60 to rot should rot himself what a shame.

Hello Mr. Grama

I agree that these vehicles were jewels but the carcass or an organ may be useful to someone.
All good men own a Cadillac but great gentlemen drive a LaSalle. That is the consequence of success.

Good work I wonder who bought the first one ?

I had one of these in the 70s. I probably can find the VIN if I search long enough. I don't have access to the body number.
The car resides still in Switzerland ... bt, sadly, in a pitiful state.  The owner has intimated that it is NOT for sale.
Mine is (was?) color code 99b:  Heather metallic (beautiful) with matching cloth and leather upholstery, dash, carpets.
Somewhere in my archives I have a color rendering of the attached B&W photo from the Cadillac archives

BTW, the top 2 photos show Gita, my wife, at the wedding in 1976 of my brother. Malcolm, in Brittany, France (Channel coast).

  Ya if you can find the VIN, that would be great,,,Johnny K

I found the VIN:  60H014570
The first owner was a Ms. Elsie de Reuter of Florida, b. 1890 (so she was 70 when she bought the car)
She moved with her Argentinean banker husband to Geneva, Switzerland, in May 1963 and registered the car there -  Geneva tag "GE142184",
Second owner was Swiss (Max Schindler, a banker from Berne, Switzerland, b. 1900 - tag "BE41982")
He gifted it to his nephew (Heinz Stöekli, also of Berne, b. 1933 - tag "BE66107").
I bought the Seville from Heinz in Feb. 1972 (he didn't like the color!) - (interchangeable tag "GE300212")
We had a baby. The car had to go! I sold it to a used car dealer (Patrice Geneux of Geneva).
It changed hands 2-3 times after that but spent much time laid up, with air-suspension problems.
The last owner was a car enthusiast and said to be eccentric, Walter Wettstein,  but he let the Seville go to the dogs, in an outside (but guarded) enclosure.
He passed in the 90s and I believe his children still own the car ... in the same decrepit state.
Some collector friends of mine have inquired about the car regularly. They are told: IT IS NOT FOR SALE.

Good luck with finding others ... in better condition.
