The most stylish car in American history is when Gucci designed a 1-of-200 Cadillac and threw in goodies

The most stylish car in American history was a 200-unit limited-edition Cadillac Seville designed by the luxury fashion house Gucci.

Gucci is, of course, famous for its luxury clothes, with its base in Italy, in the city of Florence.

In the late 1970s, Gucci collaborated with Cadillac to create a special edition of the Cadillac Seville, and the results were quite spectacular.

This has become one of the rarest Cadillacs ever made, with only 200 made in total, and now worth a lot of money.

Aldo Gucci was the man who came up with the idea of the collaboration.

The aim was to reinforce the brand’s relationship with the United States and potential customers.

So, Gucci chose the Cadillac Seville as the focus of the collaboration, which was at the time one of the company’s most luxurious cars.

The car company felt like the partnership made sense, and plans for a special edition model quickly came about.

With the design settled, the two companies took the covers off the car at Miami Beach’s Fontainebleau Resort.

Its price tag at the time was $19,900, over $7,000 more than the standard Seville model of the day.

The car came with a five-piece set of luggage designed by Gucci, which included a suit carrier and briefcase.

The Seville itself had the ‘Double G’ honeycomb pattern on its vinyl roof.

That pattern stretched down to the C-pillars of the luxury car.

Gucci nameplates were on the car’s steering wheel and the passenger glove compartment door.

The wire-spoked wheels also had caps bearing the interlocking G symbol for the clothing brand.

Three colors were made available for customers, with the car sold in either black, white, or medium brown.

Completing the look was the red and green pinstripe that ran down the center line and across the trunk.

Other notable features included the tricolor fabric across the headrests, armrests, headliners, and floor mats.

Cadillac made just 200 of these special editions.

Only a handful remain on America’s roads.

It will go down as one of the most unusual cars to ever leave the Cadillac factory.
