Cadillac Interchangeable Parts Buyer's Guide 1959-1976: Engine, Drivetrain, Suspension
Cadillac: No other American model is the ultimate manifestation of luxury. The 1959 Cadillac convertible was the decisive American dream. The model that caused you to stand and stare in at the dealer's window, imagining how it would feel to drive to the local diner out on the edge of town, and have everyone look. It was the car that Elvis and Buddy Holly longer for that said to the world, "I have made it!"
As the years went by, Cadillac continued to grow in size and luxury, when in 1976 the last of the true American luxury cars rolled off the assembly line. The trend was to downsize; smaller car, smaller engine. The times would never be the same.
Even though the Cadillac stood alone atop the GM family line, it was part of the GM family, and like all families, it share heritage along blood lines, which meant that some of the parts that were used on your Cadillac could also be found on other GM models, even the rugged Chevy truck.
Then there were times when parts were used for more than one year, but do you know which parts? You will with the Cadillac Interchangeable Parts Buyer's Guide. Covering all Cadillac models, including commercial vehicles, 1959 to 1976.
Do not go to a salvage yard without it!
Note: It is very important that you know how to decode the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), as many changes in part design refer to this in the interchanges. Page 9 of this guide explains how to correctly decode Cadillac VINs.
