wasnt uncommon for dealers to add chrome wheels as part of a dealer adds package and they would have the emblems stuck on them.

My grandfather worked for Cadillac for years as a mechanic and later as a service rep. He gave me the brochures for the 1992 line, and I remember thinking that the 92 Seville was the slickest looking car I had ever seen. Was just starting high school in 1992. Still want one of those Sevilles (and the 1959 Sedan DeVille he sold the year before that!)
