Cadillac Seville — K-body (third generation) (1986–1991)

Wikipedia's Seville article gives this generation as a transverse-engine, front-wheel-drive four-door sedan on the K-body platform, built at Detroit/Hamtramck, with production figures for each model year 1986 to 1991 and a Seville Touring Sedan (STS) trim added for 1988. The NICB manuals print the car line Seville in the 1986 to 1991 tables and Seville Touring Sedan in the 1990 and 1991 tables (the OCR text is garbled). No GM order guide, data book, Heritage kit or RPO list for this Seville is in the archive, so only three codes are listed, all from the Wikipedia Seville article, which is one source (with its engine article). Every row is single-source. Two readings are left out: the LW2 code, which the Seville table gives for the 180 hp 4.5L V8 of 1990 but the engine article ties to the 200 hp Allanté version (no code is printed for the 180 hp engine), and the FE2 touring suspension, which Wikipedia dates only through the STS trim contents. No source read ties a transmission, axle, paint, interior or accessory code to this Seville with a year.
