I was spared the time and trouble of preparing and posting digital images of the 1958 models and those of 1960 through 1975, thanks to the excellent work done in this field by a Cadillac admirer in the Netherlands (Holland).  Regrettably, those pages appear to be "lost".

Finally,  I found time to scan my own copy of the prestige catalog for this model year.  Factory photos that I will add were graciously provided to me, through the years, by the Cadillac Division's Public Relations Department.

ID tip : when viewed from the rear, the Cadillac models of 1971 through 1973 all look very much the same.  A closer look, however will reveal a narrow chrome strip down the center of the tail-light lenses on the 1971 models that is NOT present in 1972 or 1973.  As for 1973, there is a black rubber strip, with a narrow chrome bead in the center that runs across the lower part of the rear bumper.  Subtle differences all the same.

Easy frontal ID tip : the notable clue is the white-lensed park/turn-signal lamp located between the high- and low-beam headlights.

This year's prestige sales brochure lists the models in the following order :  the Brougham, the Seventy-Fives, the Eldorado Coupe, the Eldorado Convertible, the Sedan de Ville, the Coupe de Ville,   the Calais sedan, the Calais Coupe.  I am show them here in that order too.
