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".
At last I found time to scan my own sales catalogs for the year and so I am including (below) for your immediate enjoyment, some small, low resolution images. Also shown are reductions of some factory photos graciously provided to me through the years by the Cadillac Division's Public Relations Department.
Total production was a round 200,000 cars of the model year, a drop of some 5,000 units over the previous year.
Two different sets of ID features were apparent this year: (1) in the regular model range (being the Calais, DeVille and Fleetwood cars) and (2) the new, front-wheel drive Eldorado coupe, although it too belongs in the Fleetwood group.
The easiest way to distinguish a regular 1967 Cadillac (not being an Eldorado) is to look at the front clip and rear three-quarters view:
Easy ID
Regular Line
Rearward sloping grille; broadly spaced egg-crate design;
tall, vertical tail-light housings
Eldorado
Headlights (left) are shown in the open position (these were retractable)
Angular rear clip (right) typified Cadillac's all new, personal luxury auto

The front grille slopes rearward at the base and the traditional egg-crate grille has broad openings. The rear tail-light housings started a new trend with a tall, vertical look. The same styling cues, with only slight modifications would be carried through to the following year.
Look also for identifying script or lettering on some models (De Ville, FLEETWOOD, ELDORADO, etc.) Sometimes (after a new paint job, for example), the script or lettering may be missing; in that case look to the car's interior as each model had its own trim options.
Additional information and photos of the 1967 models and the related sales literature may be found in The (New) Cadillac Database© sections entitled "Descriptions and Specifications of Cadillac Cars 1967-1969", "Cadillac and La Salle Sales Literature 1965-1969" as well as in the appropriate "Dream cars" section.
