Production of the roomy Series 75 sedan and limousine had continued almost without interruption since the late twenties; with one notable exception (the bespoke Eldorado Brougham) these were Cadillac's most costly offerings this year; 1,010 sedans were built (without glass divider) at a cost of $7348 each and an additional 890 units were built with the divider, for $7586 each; completely restyled for 1957, nevertheless they retained the traditional roof line introduced in 1950;
