The compiler of  The (new) Cadillac Database© 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 were "lost" for a few weeks, in April/May 2000.

Thanks to a sharp-eyed Web surfer, the missing pages were found at this new location

Until  I can find time to scan my own copy of the prestige catalogs for these model years, please enjoy those on that excellent Dutch site, as well as those from my own collection that I will upload to these pages in the coming months.  Most of them are factory photos graciously provided to me through the years by the Cadillac Division's Public Relations Department.

I believe this is the wife of a Cadillac executive, taking delivery of a new
Coupe de Ville at the factory (the red ribbon on the roof is barely visible,
but the huge birthday cake stands out well on the hood of the car

 

Trivia:   These last two enigmatic photos were included in one of many rare factory photo albums claimed to have been found in a dumpster, in Michigan, and later offered for sale on e-Bay in 2002. I believe the CLC Museum and Research Center was able to acquire some of these albums; sadly others have gone into private collections and possibly may be lost for us poor researchers.

Eldorado

 

002u.jpg (23118 bytes)
This nice survivor was offered for sale at auction on eBay, in May 2006 by a reputable vendor
in Saddle River, NJ; the auction was ended early and there appeared to be a winning bidder
for $4.5 MILLION; if true [which I tend to doubt, taking into account all the bizarre deals
I have seen going on there], then this car deserves a place in the Guiness Book of Records

Unlike the couples in these two publicity shots for the 1962 models,
such tasteful and elegant attire is no longer a prerequisite to
ownership and enjoyment of the grand old American marque
