I was spared the time and trouble of preparing and posting digital images of the 1973 models, thanks to the excellent work done in this field by a Cadillac admirer in the Netherlands (Holland).  Regrettably, those pages appear to be "lost".

The images below are from my own copy of the prestige catalogs for this year. I hope to add in the future some  of surviving cars as well as factory photos 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 ghe center that runs across the lower part of the rear bumper.  Subtle differences all the same.

Total production was 267,787 cars of this model year; volume sales went up by sone 79,000 units, largely making up for the poor sales in the previous year.
