Hot Wheels x Gucci Cadillac Seville collab celebrates fashion house’s 100th anniversary

Mattel has revealed their latest collaboration creation, the limited-edition Hot Wheels x Gucci Cadillac Seville. Honouring Italian fashion house Gucci’s 100th anniversary, the diecast model is inspired by the legendary “Seville by Gucci” Cadillac of the ‘70s and ‘80s.

Introduced on the 1978 Cadillac Seville, the Gucci package was intended to add legendary Italian styling to the Detroit luxury car. The sought-after vehicles offered discerning drivers a vinyl top covering only the “C-pillar” and featured the interlocking double “G” crest, a gold Gucci hood ornament, gold Gucci emblems on the wheels, front fenders and a C-pillar and Gucci’s Web stripes across the boot.

Owners even received a matching five-piece Gucci luggage set for their travels. The Gucci Cadillac was definitely one of the more blingy fashion and car brand collaborations over the years. Creating a statement in the fashion world today just as it did decades ago, the 1982 Cadillac Seville plays into the current 80’s and 90’s Radwood custom car movement expanding across the globe.

Outfitted in the classic Gucci logo and iconic interlocking GG pattern, the 1:6th scale interior features details authentic to the life-size versions, such as gold piping on the seats. Featuring packaging designed and produced by Gucci, the vehicle comes in a sleek display case.

The Hot Wheels x Gucci 1982 Cadillac Seville will be available to purchase from the 18th of October from MattelCreations.com and Gucci.com as well as selected Gucci stores worldwide. The die-cast collectible model will set you back $120 ($163 AUD).
