It's a Firedome.  There was no Fireflite Seville.  In 1956 the name "Seville" replaced the less glamorous "Special" for the economy model Firedome hardtop.  [The upper scale model was the "Sportsman."]   Seville was used once again, in 1959.

Hello, everybody. I just noticed a '56 Fireflite "Seville" on ebay. I recall reading about the "Seville" name in conjunction with Desoto, and the fact that Cadillac made the name famous on their cars. Any thought? Is it a rare car?
