IMPORTANT OPTION ORDERING 

CHANGES 

As a result of the return to 1971 Prices, Lamp Monitors, two-piece Hard 

Boot on the Eldorado Convertible and Bumper Insert Strips are now Factory 

installed options and must be specifically ordered as options. Information 

contained in the following pages specifying the above options as standard 

equipment should be disregarded. 

The Lamp Monitor option includes the washer fluid monitor as in 

the 1971 Model. 

f 

The Bumper Insert Strip option consists of Polyvinyl Chloride 

impact strips to lessen damage in parking or minor collisions. 

The two-piece Hard Boot option is described in detail on page 3. 

Following are the ordering instructions for the above options which must be 

followed in placing all future orders. 

Lamp Monitors - order individually by inserting code "B" in Lamp 

Monitor box on the order form or by ordering basic groups 1, 2, 3 

or 4 which include Lamp Monitors. 

Two-Piece Hard Boot - order by inserting code "G" in Convertible 

Top Boot box on order form. 

Bumper Insert Strips - order by inserting code "V" in blank box 

adjacent to Convertible Top Boot box on order form.

NEW SPECIAL OPTION 

ELDORADO CUSTOM CABRIOLET SUNROOF OPTION 

Eldorado Cabriolet - the ultimate Eldorado -- a limited production custom option combining 

an electrically operated Sunroof with tailored "Elk" grain padded vinyl roof. The Sunroof 

is blended beautifully into the painted sheet metal at the front of the roof, while the 

"Elk" grain padded vinyl crowns the rear portion of the roof. This exclusive appearance is 

further enhanced by handcrafted details such as a custom rolled perimeter around the 

backlight, a rich French seam which accents the padded area around the backlight and a 

halo surrounding the entire padded area consisting of a sheer chrome strap bordered by 

fine vinyl welts. 

The Eldorado Cabriolet option is available in seven distinctive colors as shown in the chart 

below. 

This option is available only on the Eldorado Coupe. 

When ordering the Eldorado Cabriolet, enter code "C" in the Sunroof column of the order 

form. Then to designate the specific color "Elk" grain vinyl required, enter one of the seven top 

color codes in the "Top" column of the order form.

SUNROOF 

Sunroof Option - Code S - is available on De Ville and Fleetwood series cars with vinyl 

roofs. A switch on the instrument panel activates an electric motor that moves the Sunroof 

panel into a hollow under the roof and above the headlining. 

Sunroof is positioned above the front seat. In order to obtain maximum benefit from the 

Sunroof, it is suggested that a 6-way Power Seat Adjuster be ordered. 

Because the Sunroof installation is an "off-line" procedure, cars must be scheduled for 

production on a first-in, first-out basis to maintain an orderly flow. Sunroof installation adds 

approximately ten days to the normal estimated production date indicated on the Production 

Notice. 

GENERATORS 

Ampere 

follows: 

Capacity of generator is as 

63 AMP • Air Conditioned Cars 

42 AMP • Non-Air Conditioned Cars 

80 AMP • "75" Sedan and Limousine 

Generators used on the Eldorado and 

'75" series cars will have an integrated regulator. 

All other cars will have a separate 

regulator. 

Ampere capacity has been increased to accommodate 

the needs of all cars. For cars 

that will be equipped with telephones or 

other electrically operated equipment, an 80 

AMP Generator is available on special order. 

GEAR RATIOS 

Gear Ratios are the same for cars equipped with Automatic Climate Control and those ordered 

without air conditioning. Gear Ratios are listed below: 

2.93 - 1 for "C" Cars 

3.07 - 1 for Eldorado 

3.15-1 for "75" 

There are no options for the Eldorado or "75". 

3.15 - 1 Axle Gear Ratio may be ordered on the Calais, De Ville or Brougham by 

specifying code Z on the order form. This gear ratio is offered for cars that will pull trailers or 

operate in mountainous areas. 

STANDARD 

Clear solid tempered safety plate glass is 

standard in all side and rear windows. The 

rear window on the Convertible will be Soft 

Ray Glass in al! cases. 

The windshield on all cars and division 

glass in the "75" Limousine are laminated 

safety plate glass. The windshield on all cars 

will have the impregnated radio antenna. 

OPTIONAL - CODE E 

Soft Ray Glass is tinted and the upper 

part of the windshield is shaded. In addition 

to providing relief from the sun's rays, Soft 

Ray Glass aids Automatic Climate Control 

by screening infra-red heat rays. 

Soft Ray Glass is recommended, especially 

when Automatic Climate Control is 

ordered. 

12

TIRES 

STANDARD 

Blackwall Fiberglass Belted tires, size L78-15, 

load range B, are standard on all cars except "75" 

Sedan and Limousine. On "75" cars, the L78-15, 

load range D tire is standard. 

OPTIONAL 

Whitewall tires of the same size are optional. Two 

white (one broad outside and one narrow inside) 

bands accent the sidewall. This whitewall treatment 

lends itself to the formal appearance of the 1972 

Cadillac. Order basic group 1 through 4 or specify 

code W. 

To specify a tire brand, use the following codes: 

U - Uniroyal G - Goodrich 

F - Firestone Y - Goodyear 

E - General 

FIBERGLASS BELTED TIRES 

The construction and configuration of this tire 

are designed to increase tread wear, improve handling 

characteristics and make the tire more resistant 

to road hazards. 

This tire is made with two plies of polyester cord 

body and two fiberglass belts. The two plies of polyester 

cord and the fiberglass belts are applied on the 

bias. 

ALL TIRE BRANDS NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE 

Tires for Cadillac cars are supplied by five manufacturers in a variety of sizes, and black 

or white side walls. This complexity creates storage problems that make a continual inventory 

of all makes and types difficult to maintain. 

Also, availability problems are encountered since all tires must meet the standards of 

Cadillac's quality control program. It is realized that some customers designate a tire brand 

preference which dealers understandably wish to accommodate. However, as a relatively small 

percentage of such requests can be considered without risking a delay in car production, only 

in case of customer insistence should tire brands be specified on the car order. 

Notwithstanding these situations, Cadillac will endeavor to supply a tire brand option, 

provided such requests do not exceed 5% of a dealer's orders during a model year. 

Black side wall tires are standard equipment on all cars. Because of the extremely small 

demand, it is not feasible to offer a black wall tire brand option even on a limited basis. 

TRACK MASTER 

Track Master—Code X-a computer controlled 

rear wheel braking system is available on all styles. 

The primary purpose of this device is to sense any 

impending lockup of the rear wheels and automatically 

"pump" the brakes; thereby enabling the 

average driver to maintain vehicle control while 

stopping in the shorter distances usually obtainable 

only by skilled drivers. This system partially releases 

the rear brakes as they approach the skid point and 

then automatically reapplies them. This process 

repeats with the brakes being alternately applied 

and released as long as the impending skid situation 

prevails. 

The system's major components are: a pair of 

electric sensors on the rear axle to monitor rear 

wheel speed; an electronic computer under the instrument 

panel that determines rear optimum wheel 

braking performance; and a modulator on the cowl 

in the engine compartment that controls the rear 

brake pressure to prevent skids.

NEW MODEL INFORMATION 

NUMBER OF TRIM OPTIONS 

182 trim options in 14 colors are available 

in 1972. 

New colors are introduced in the shades 

of Jade, Light Covert, Oxblood and Dark 

Covert. Additionally, Light Pewter Minuet 

cloth is a new shade of Gray; available in the 

Brougham and "75" only. The 1972 Upholstery 

selection is one of the most complete 

ever. 

Dual Comfort Seat is available as an 

option on Eldorado Coupe and Convertible, 

as well as the DeVille models for 1972. Dual 

Comfort Seat is staisv id on the Fleetwood 

Brougham. 

Cadillac's 70th Ani-iversary cloth is a soft, 

crushed velour type upholstery material, 

called Medici, available in the Fleetwood 

Brougham in Beige only. Trim code is 043. 

White leather with Jade carpets, trim 

codes 057, 357 and 457, is offered due to 

numerous customer and dealer requests and 

it is very attractive when used with the 

three, new Green exterior colors. 

White leather is now available with Black, 

Blue, Oxblood and Jade carpets and instrument 

panels as standard production options, 

in all styles except the "75" Series. 

NEW TRIM CODES 

Eldorado 900 series trim codes are used 

for the optional Dual Comfort Seat. The 

Trim Chart contains a complete listing of 

these codes. 

400 series trim codes are used for 

standard Eldorado bench scats. 

Use 600 series codes for optional Dual 

Comfort Seat on Coupe and Sedan de Ville. 

Brougham code (which includes standard 

Dual Comfort Seat) will start with 0. 

The cushion and backrests are leather and 

only those areas too large to cover with a 

single piece of leather are vinyl upholstered. 

Vinyl is more suitable for these areas because 

of its elasticity. 

HEADLINING 

Headlining matches upholstery material 

color. 

Regiment, a vinyl headlining, is used for 

all Calais, De Ville, Eldorado and Brougham 

cars with the following exceptions: 

Taffeta perforated vinyl is used in all 

white leather upholstery combinations. 

Ascot cloth is used with cloth upholstery 

in the Brougham and Seventy-Five. 

ACCENT STRIPE 

A new design Accent Stripe is available on 

the Eldorado when a color is specified. 

Accent Stripe will be omitted when a code is 

not specified. The Accent Strip consists of 

three fine line paint stripes, one at the top 

break line on the hood bevel and a double 

stripe at the lower break line. The Accent 

Stripes are parallel, the top one extending to 

the hood molding and the lower stripes end 

at the rear edge of the door. 

NOTE: Accent Stripe code must be 

specified, otherwise stripe will be omitted. 

Listed below are Accent Stripe colors and 

codes: 

LEATHER UPHOLSTERY 

When referring to Leather Upholstery, 

note that some areas are trimmed with vinyl. 

Leather is used for all touch and feel areas. 

Vinyl is used for facings and matches leather 

in texture and color.

TRAILERING PACKAGE 

A Trailering Package providing the necessary heavy duty equipment for trailering is an 

available option. 

The package is designed primarily for trailers weighing between 2,000 and 6,000 pounds, 

which are designated by the Society of Automotive Engineers as Class II and Class III. 

Trailering Package consists of the following: 

80 AMP Generator with Integral Regulator 

Special Cooling Package (Radiator and Fan)* 

3.15 to 1 Axle Ratio (Not Available on Eldorado) 

* Additional transmission cooling is built into the larger radiator, eliminating the need for 

other transmission cooling devices. 

Other equipment specific to a particular trailer, such as platform, wiring harness and 

brake controller should be purchased locally. The Trailering Package is offered on the Calais, 

De Ville, Eldorado and Brougham. Fleetwood Seventy-Five Sedan and Limousine should not 

be used to tow a trailer. 

CAUTION 

Even when equipped with Trailering Package, certain precautions must be exercised. 

1. Loaded trailer weight should not exceed 6,000 lbs. 

2. Tongue weight should be approximately 10% of the loaded trailer weight. 

3. A frame, side-rail mounted, load-equalizing hitch with sway control of sufficient 

capacity is required for trailers over 2,000 lbs. loaded weight. 

4. Do not use axle-mounted hitches. They can cause damage to the axle housing, wheel 

bearings, wheels or tires. 

5. Trailer brakes are required on trailers over 1,000 lbs. loaded weight. 

6. Do not tap into the car's hydraulic brake system to couple with a trailer hydraulic 

brake system. Master cylinder fluid capacity may not be sufficient to operate both 

car and trailer brakes. 

7. Whenever a trailer hitch is removed, be certain to have any mounting holes in the 

underbody properly sealed to prevent possible entry of exhaust fumes, dirt or water. 

More frequent vehicle maintenance is required when a car is used for trailer towing. 

Recommendations are listed in the owner's manual. 

TO ORDER 

Specify Code R - "Trailering Package" on the order form (CAD 5600A). Production 

will not be delayed when this item is ordered. Do not specify the individual items of the 

Trailering Package on the order form.

SPECIAL ORDERS 

Partition control will be eliminated on the Seventy- 

Five Sedan. 

Limousine Power Door Locks Control is located on 

the right rear quarter control panel. This rear control 

can lock and unlock all doors. The driver's control 

also will lock and unlock all doors. 

Automatic Climate Control and radio controls are 

on the right rear control panel, concealed behind a 

sliding Rosewood panel. The Automatic Climate 

Control system for the rear compartment only, is 

regulated by these controls. 

The rear radio controls, when ordered, will adjust 

volume and tune stations, overriding the front selector. 

Although the Fleetwood Seventy-Five offers a rather complete trim selection, at times requests are received 

for a special interior. 

Certain facts must be kept in mind when discussing any deviation from the standard interior in a Seventy- 

Five. 

SPECIAL HANDLING 

In addition to the basic cloth or leather, many other color-keyed components are required to produce a 

special color Fleetwood Seventy-Five interior. These range from injection molded vinyl to thread and buttons. 

Most of these special parts must be machine-made on a one-time basis. This means that labor costs for 

setting up such machines to produce only one or two individual pieces becomes very costly. 

PROCUREMENT OF SPECIAL PARTS 

For example, Antique Dark Jade, which is not a standard Seventy-Five interior color will need a pair of air 

duct grill assemblies for installation in the headlining. 

These are molded rubber and to make them in Jade, regular production must be interrupted, the machine 

cleaned, Jade compound mixed and two pieces molded. 

After these are made, the machine must be re-cleaned for standard colors. 

Other such parts that require special attention are windlace around each door, assist straps on the rear 

pillars, carpets, etc. These items are ordered on an individual basis and require additional time to procure. 

EXTRA CHARGE 

Because special color items require individual handling, the extra charge for a non-standard color interior 

will be in the $1,800.00 to $2,500.00 range and necessitate a lead time 90 to 120 days from receipt of order. 

LIMOUSINE FRONT COMPARTMENT 

If a color other than black is desired for the front compartment, specify the color and material desired, e.g., 

Dark Blue Leather Front Compartment. 

This type of order also requires special handling and additional time, as front compartment components are 

made in black only. 

CLOTH FRONT AND REAR 

In a Seventy-Five Limousine S, the same cloth fabric used to upholster the rear compartment may be 

substituted for the Black leather on the front seat. See page 22 for complete ordering information. 

LEATHER FRONT IN R 

It is not practical to upholster the Sedan front compartment in leather, because the charge would be greater 

than the price difference between the Limousine and Sedan. And a leather upholstered Sedan (costing more 

than the Limousine) will not have the glass division. 

CONCLUSION 

If, notwithstanding these lead time and price considerations, a special color interior is to be ordered, please 

advise immediately the specifications wanted so that the ordering procedure may be started.

DEALER 

SIGNATURE- 

FOR COMPLETE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ORDER COMPLETELY EQUIPPED CARS 


Cloth upholstery, as used in the rear 

compartment of the Limousine, may be substituted 

for the Black leather front seat. 

TRIM STYLE 

Two inch pleated trim style will be used 

similar to the leather. 


All components of the front compartment 

including doors, seats, instrument panel, 

steering wheel and carpets will be in color to 

match the rear compartment. 

All special orders are at extra charge and require 

additional time to produce. 

22

ORDER EXAMPLES 

ILLUSTRATIONS 

Pages 21 through 31 contain illustrations 

and descriptions of the most frequently ordered 

special features. 

The bottom half of the wholesale Order 

Form (Cad. 5600A) is designed to accommodate 

special order requests. 

Detailed instructions for completing this 

portion of the form are on page 24. Following 

the example illustrated will prove most 

helpful. 

If the desired trim combination is not 

illustrated or any questions arise, the zone 

office will provide assistance. 

If there is a possibility that a request 

written on an order form could be misinterpreted, 

a letter explaining the special 

features desired should be sent with the 

order. 


Every effort will be made to accommodate 

requests for special features. However, 

because of certain component restrictions, 

some changes from standard production options 

cannot be made. 

The following pre-fabricated components 

are not available in all colors for all body 

styles because they are exclusive to certain 

series: doors, pull straps, vacuum formed 

front seat backs, etc. 

If a non-standard color leather interior is 

desired, the above components would have 

to be selected in a neutral color. 

TRIM CODE 

The code in special trim box determines 

color of the major interior components - 

doors, headlining, seats, carpets, steering 

wheel and instrument panel. 

If these components are desired in another 

color, designate code in appropriate box 

on the order form. 

BUTTONS - 

LACES 

These items cannot be eliminated because, 

in addition to being decorative, buttons, 

laces and pleats serve to tie down and retain 

the original shape of the upholstery. 

PAST MODEL UPHOLSTERY 

Only interiors in colors and fabrics currently 

in production can be furnished. 

Past model fabrics or material supplied by 

a customer cannot be used. 

LEATHER INTERIORS 

Leather can be supplied in any number of 

colors; however, remaining interior components 

would have to be a standard production 

color. 

When non-standard color leather is requested, 

Maximum Leather will be specified 

to cover a greater portion of the interior in a 

matching color. 

This type of interior requires additional 

time and involves extra cost, since all parts 

are cut and sewn by hand. 

LEATHER AND VINYL ROOF 

NOT IN CALAIS 

Leather upholstery and vinyl roof are not 

available in the Calais Series. 

TRIM STYLES NOT 

INTERCHANGEABLE 

Each series has an exclusive trim style 

which cannot be substituted in other series. 

SPECIAL EXTERIOR 

Acrylic lacquers are used for exterior 

finishes. Almost any color can be matched in 

this material. 

However, requests for an exterior with 

transparent pigments or pearlescent coatings 

cannot be supplied because of certain production 

techniques that do not allow for this 

type of custom paint work. 

DOUBLE CHECK 

Because special feature orders are sold 

cars and involve additional time and an extra 

charge, specifications should be 

double-checked to avoid errors. 

23

SPECIAL ORDERS 

Some features not offered in standard production are available on a special request basis. 

This special service is provided to satisfy the discriminating Cadillac customer and to assist in 

conquest sales. Orders requesting special features should not be used for promotional or 

speculative purposes. 

MAIL IMMEDIATELY 

As soon as specifications on a special order are finalized, the order should be submitted 

against a future allotment. Production of the parts necessary to complete the special order can 

be initiated, thus reducing the lead time. 

TIME REQUIRED 

Because special feature orders require procurement of non-standard parts, writing detailed 

production instructions and individual assembly, additional time is necessary to complete these 

operations. Also, only a limited number of special requests can be scheduled for production 

daily. 

As a general rule, from the time the order is received at Central Office: 

1) Special trim orders are completed in five to eight weeks, depending upon the type of 

interior requested. 

2) Special acrylic lacquers require four weeks to produce the completed car. 

3) Special equipment orders are built within three weeks. 

Because each order is unique, it is extremely difficult to estimate the exact amount of 

time required. 

Shipment time is in addition to the production time. 

The time element must be clearly understood before a special request order is submitted. 

To avoid any misunderstanding, the customer should not be promised a specific delivery date, 

as many factors influence the time required to build and ship special feature orders. 

Production of special orders is scheduled to start approximately 30 days after the start of 

production and these orders are scheduled on a "first-come, first-served" basis. The large 

number of orders received at the beginning of the model year creates a back-log that will add 

to the time required for production. 

ACKNOWLEDGMENT 

Based upon the information available, each special trim order is acknowledged with an 

estimated production date. A Xerox copy of the special trim order (CAD 5600A) with the 

estimated production date is sent to the Zone Office for forwarding to dealer. If this acknowledgment 

is not received within two weeks, an inquiry should be made as this might indicate 

that the order has been misdirected. 

In an effort to keep the dealer and customer informed of the status of an order, a more 

comprehensive follow-up system has been inaugurated which will advise the zone office whenever 

a production estimate cannot be met and also give a revised date.

BLACK AND WHITE 

A two-tone interior may be created by 

specifying a contrasting bolster color. This 

provides a change from the one color effect 

of a standard interior. 

On such combinations, the leather or 

vinyl "bolster area" of the seats, cushion 

skirt and facings of back rests will be in the 

color specified under bolster. 

The doors, headlining, inserts, instrument 

panels and front seat back panel will be in 

the basic trim color. In the example shown, 

they would be in Black. 

MORE CONTRAST 

However, if more contrast should be 

wanted, the back of front seat back panel 

and seat wings may also be ordered in the 

bolster color. Order should be marked 

"Front Seat Back Panel Same as Bolster." 

OTHER COMBINATIONS 

In addition to an interior with the sharp 

contrast of White and a dark color, other 

attractive arrangements of compatible colors 

may be created by combining such shades as 

Dark Covert and Light Covert or Oxblood 

and White, 

All special orders are at extra charge and 

require additional time to produce.

ALL CLOTH 

Areas that are normally in leather or vinyl 

can be specified in "all-cloth" by completing 

the order as illustrated above. 

PATTERN DISCREPANCY 

When "All-Cloth" trim is requested, a discrepancy 

of pattern may occur because each 

piece is cut individually, by hand. 

TRIM STYLE 

Trim styles are not interchangeable between 

body styles. If an "All-Cloth" trim is 

requested, the trim style of body style ordered 

will be used. 

PIQUE STITCHING 

The Pique stitching on the upper pillow of 

the back rest is available only with all cloth 

Minuet trim.

NON-STANDARD COLORS 

Any past model or non-standard exterior 

color can be supplied on special order at 

extra charge. 

To order, type 00 in COLOR space which 

denotes that color is not a standard option. 

In space captioned SPECIAL EXTERIOR 

COLOR, describe color by name and model 

year. 

Allow four to five weeks for shipment of 

any special color. 

HIGH GLOSS ACRYLIC MATERIALS 

A previous model year exterior color may 

have been formulated with now obsolete pigments. 

The newer chemicals have improved 

color retention and durability. However, 

they could produce a variance in appearance 

between the new and old finishes. 

This is a matter of information that may 

be of special interest to fleet owners who 

add new cars in the original fleet colors and 

have noticed a difference in their older and 

newer vehicles.

COURTESY DELIVERIES 

CONSENT 

Prior to requesting shipment of a new car to 

another Cadillac dealer in the United States for 

"Courtesy Delivery," consent in writing must be 

obtained by the selling dealer, from the delivering 

dealer. Specific consent is to be obtained for each 

car involved. An agreement for one or the first car 

will not constitute blanket courtesy delivery 

approval. 

After such permission is granted, complete 

arrangements should be made with the zone office 

and instructions furnished to the delivering dealer 

including the following: 

TO ZONE OFFICE 

1. On New Car Order form 5600A state that 

approval of dealer to whom shipment is to be 

made has been secured. Furnish name of individual 

giving such approval. 

2. In spaces captioned (B) SHIP TO CODE insert 

correct dealer code number, dealer name and 

city. Obtain correct code from delivering dealer 

or zone office. 

TO DELIVERING DEALER 

Furnish in writing to the dealer who is to make 

the courtesy delivery the following minimum 

information: 

a) Car Specifications: A copy of the 5600A 

Order TForm or complete specifications. 

b) Customer Contact: Customer name and 

address — both home and business — also 

telephone number if available. If this is not 

available, advise where customer can be 

reached. 

c) Delivery Date: Estimate of customer arrival 

or delivery date. 

d) Service Instructions: List of any extra equipment 

to be installed or special services performed 

prior to delivery. 

e) Financial: All financial transactions are to 

be directly between the participating dealers 

and not through third parties. It shall be the 

selling dealer's responsibility to remit to the 

delivering dealer the suggested delivery and 

handling charges, plus any other expenses 

which may be incurred in the process of 

making the courtesy delivery. 

f) Collections: Any money to be received from 

the customer is to be for the account of the 

selling dealer or delivering dealer and not 

any other parties. 

g) Registration: Advise if license plates will be 

furnished or are they to be secured by delivering 

dealer. Such arrangements to be 

made m advance whenever possible to prevent 

delay when the car is ready. 

h) Sales Tax: Clarify the sales tax responsibilities 

according to the various state laws that 

may be involved. Establish a clear understanding 

as to who will make such payment. 

i) Insurance: Customer should be reminded of 

insurance coverage. 

j) Storage Charges: In case unexpected delays 

are encountered in delivery, storage charges 

may be incurred that will be the obligation 

of the selling dealer. 

Acceptance of a car for delivery on a courtesy 

basis is an accommodation that entails responsibilities 

which the selling dealer should faithfully 

discharge in order to facilitate and expedite the 

registration, handling and "courtesy" delivery of the 

car. 

CALIFORNIA COURTESY DELIVERIES 

Courtesy delivery of an automobile by any California dealer for the accommodation of another dealer is 

subject to a tax under Section 6007 of the California Sales and Use Tax Law. 

ATTENTION CALIFORNIA DEALERS 

A procedure approved by the California State Board of Equalization for the reporting of such tax liability 

by California auto dealers follows: 

"The tax should be computed, collected and remitted in precisely the same manner that governs the 

California dealers' own local sales and deliveries. The tax base is the actual selling price as reported to the 

delivering dealer by the selling dealer or as revealed in an invoice submitted by the customer (plus the 

selling price of any accessories added by the delivering dealer). If the actual selling price is unavailable, it 

should be assumed to be the list price. The California State Board of Equalization auditors, when 

examining dealers sales and use tax returns, will look for the inclusion of courtesy deliveries on the above 

basis." 

CALIFORNIA TAXES 

Cars shipped to the State of California by Cadillac Motor Car Division for delivery in California, as a 

courtesy to dealers elsewhere, are subject to California Sales Tax and in certain localities additional local taxes. 

This should be carefully explained to the customer, as it will apply in addition to any other taxes that may 

have been paid to another state or local government agency. The fact that the car will be licensed in another 

state or that other state and local taxes are levied will not exempt the payment of California taxes. 

CUSTOMER NAME AND ADDRESS 

When Cadillac Motor Car Division is requested to make such courtesy shipment, the ordering outlet must 

furnish with the New Car Order the retail purchaser's name and address, as the Manufacturer is required to 

report such information to the California Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

ORDER INFORMATION 

CUSTOMER ORDER DATE 

Customer Order Date is the date the order 

is accepted by a Cadillac dealer. 

To determine the amount of time required 

for Cadillac to complete an order for 

shipment, the CUSTOMER ORDER DATE 

must be entered on every order form (CAD 

5600A). 

DEALER ORDER DATE 

When an order is placed with a Cadillac 

zone office, the DEALER ORDER DATE 

should be entered. 

Unless the order is mailed by the dealer to 

the zone office the same day it is written, 

the Customer Order Date and the Dealer 

Order Date will not coincide. Time lapse 

between these two dates will indicate the 

number of days before a dealer can submit 

the order to the zone office. 

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER 

A space has been allotted for the VI 

number on the 5600A order form. This 

information may be acquired from the daily 

zone traffic report. 

SHIPMENT DATE 

Shipment date will be recorded by Cadillac, 

and when compared with Customer 

Order Date and Dealer Order Date, will 

reveal the time necessary to complete the 

ordering-production cycle. 

ORDER STATUS 

Each new car order form (CAD 5600A) 

requires that a code be entered to indicate 

the status of the order. 

Codes to be 

Sold 

Stock 

used: 

S 

u 

Rental & Leasing 

Demo 

R 

D 

Sold orders will receive scheduling preference, 

when there is a choice between a 

sold and stock order. 

PREFERENCE LIST 

In addition to the above automatic priority, 

the most effective method for expediting 

urgently needed cars is by using a 

Preference List. 

Preference Lists should be made weekly 

to keep them current and mailed on Friday 

to utilize the weekend for transit. 

List the orders in sequence of their importance. 

Every effort will be made to schedule 

orders according to the Preference List. 

Orders for which a production notice has 

been received should be eliminated from the 

Preference List, as this indicates that a car is 

in the final stages of assembly. 

A supply of Preference Lists (CAD 

1541 A) is available upon request. 

WORK SHEET 

A new car order Work Sheet (CAD 

5600W) is a dealer aid available upon request 

from the zone office. 

Listing the specifications of cars to be 

ordered during an allotment will permit for 

an accurate evaluation of all orders. Any 

omission can be corrected before transcribing 

to the order form (CAD 5600A). 

UNIFORM PARTS CODES 

Three character codes, following the optional 

equipment on pages 11, 42 and 43 are 

listed for the benefit of all dealers so they 

may become familiar with the UPC system 

used by Cadillac. 

Everyone's familiarity with these codes 

will be beneficial in the future. 

GROUP ORDERING 

All groups may be ordered on all body styles (group 4 available on "75" only) even though some items are 

standard. 

Group ordering eliminates the possibility of omitting options desired by the customer which may be 

difficult and costly to install after the car is received. 

Ordering by group, rather than individual option, is an ordering and sales tool. A "package" of complimentary 

options increases driving pleasure and reduces effort. 

A basic group (either 1, 2, 3 or 4) provides the most important optional features of a 1972 Cadillac. 

Radio, White Wall Tires, Soft Ray Glass, Door Edge Guards, Automatic Climate Control and 6-Way 

Power Seat Adjuster are included in the basic groups. 

Because of the popularity of these items, any order without a basic group should be carefully scrutinized. 

Equipment Groups 8 and 9 contain the same popular options offered previously and may be ordered on 

all body styles. 

38

DELIVERY RECORDS 

Complete and correct reporting of new 

car delivery information is essential for 

many important reasons. The New Car Delivery 

Report Card is the only document 

used to credit the dealer for delivering a car. 

It is also used to obtain information required 

by the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle 

Safety Act, to verify service documents, to 

provide an accurate listing for direct mail and 

sales prospect programs and to furnish data 

for many sales and service reports. 

Your cooperation in promptly sub 

NEW CAR DELIVERY REPORT 

mitting complete and correct information 

will result in better service to Cadillac 

dealers and customers. 

RECEIPT OF CARD 

A yellow-striped New Car Delivery 

Report Card is mailed to the CHARGE TO 

dealer after the car is shipped. Preprinted on 

this card, as illustrated below, are the Vehicle 

Identification Number, Body Style,

(A) Delivering outlet code. It is important 

that the correct five-digit numerical code 

is used to assure that the proper dealer 

receives credit for that delivery. 

(§) Purchaser's name, address and zip code. 

The purchaser's name, whether an individual 

or a company, should be limited 

to twenty-five characters and spaces. 

Incomplete @r incorrect purchaser data 

often causes mail to be undeliverable. 

Purchaser should be the owner of the 

car. If purchaser is a rental or leasing 

company, show only the company name 

and address; do not include the lessee. 

For easy identification many dealer 

leasing and independent leasing companies 

use a code on the delivery report 

card in addition to the leasing company 

name. 

Customer classification. Check only one 

box. If purchaser is a rental or leasing 

company, only the LEASING box 

should be checked. If the individual purchaser 

is not an attorney, a doctor, a 

dentist or a merchant, check other individual. 

39

DELIVERY INFORMATION 

(6) Date of delivery must be the date the 

retail purchaser actually accepts delivery 

of the vehicle by taking physical possession 

of it personally or through a 

third party. Thus, the date of delivery 

may vary from the dealer invoice date or 

actual payment date. 

(D Delivering dealer's name and address 

assists in the identification and handling 

of the cards. 

(F) Demonstrator date. If car had been in 

demonstrator service at any time, enter 

the date that it was placed in service in 

addition to the retail delivery date. 

(G) Trade-in data. Identify trade-in by 

typing last two digits of model year next 

to the proper make of X for "no-trade". 

The "Chrysler Other" and "Ford Other" 

designations can be used for all cars of 

these manufacturers, except those shown 

separately. No other identification is 

necessary. 

(H) Mailing services. Dealers participating in 

the "Thank You Calendar program 

and/or the Service Reminder program" 

may exclude the purchaser from either 

or both programs by placing an X in the 

appropriate space. This feature provides 

a convenient means of informing 

Cadillac that the particular purchaser is 

not to be enrolled. If the purchaser has 

traded a Cadillac, entering the Vehicle 

Identification Number of the used car 

will discontinue mailing services, thus 

avoiding duplicate mailings and unnecessary 

dealer expense. 

(J) Mileage at time of delivery. Enter last 

four mile digits appearing on odometer. 

(J) Salesman's Code - Provision has been 

made for those dealers enrolled in the 

"Direct Mail File" program to identify 

each Cadillac owner with his salesman. 

To report the salesman indicate with a 

CAPITAL letter the salesman's identification 

code which you have assigned. All 

House sales should be coded "A". 

RED-STRIPED DELIVERY REPORT CARDS 

If the original yellow-striped card is incorrect or unavailable due to any cause such as: 

being mislaid, submitted in error, spoiled in preparation, etc., a red-striped card should be 

substituted and the same information filled in as previously illustrated. The red-striped card 

will not be preprinted, so this information must also be filled in. These cards should be used to 

submit address corrections for original owners only. A supply of the red-striped cards is 

available upon request from the Zone Office. 

GREEN-STRIPED DELIVERY REPORT CARDS 

A green-striped Delivery Report Card is mailed to dealers for cars delivered to General 

Motors Employes under the Employe Purchase Plan and for cars delivered to Cadillac and 

other General Motors Divisions. These cards should contain the information previously illustrated 

except (F) and ® . Name and address should be that of the employe if he is the purchaser 

or the General Motors Division and their address. For cars placed in service by Cadillac, 

the purchaser should be shown as Cadillac Motor Car Div. with the address of the local Zone 

Office, training center, or Central Office according to the location of the individual to whom 

the car is assigned.

DEMONSTRATOR 

Whenever a car is placed in demonstrator 

service, an orange card must be submitted 

to the Zone Office. The card should contain 

information designated © © © © © 

on the above illustration. Firm name and 

address must be complete including zip 

code. Retain the yellow-striped Delivery 

Report Card and complete it when the 

demonstrator is sold at retail, being sure to 

include the demonstrator date on the 

yellow striped card. 


A field transfer occurs when a new 

Cadillac is sold by one Cadillac dealer to 

another. Only the SELLING DEALER 

should report the transfer to the Zone 

Office on an orange card. The original 

yellow-striped card should be forwarded to 

the dealer receiving the car. 

GENERAL INFORMATION-IMPORTANT 

A new Car Delivery Report Card must be received at the Zone Office for each car delivered. 

Credit can be given for the delivery only when the card is received at the Zone Office. 

Prepare cards promptly after physical delivery and mail them daily to the Zone Office. This 

will result in prompt credit. 

A Demonstrator Report Card must be received at the Zone Office for each car placed into 

demonstrator service. Yellow- or red-striped cards should not be used to report demonstrators. 

Do not wait until a car is delivered at retail to indicate that it was in demonstrator service. 

If a card is submitted for a purchaser who did not take delivery of a car, advise the Zone 

Office immediately. 

Incomplete and incorrect cards will be returned to the dealer with the reason checked on 

the back of the card. 

It would be appreciated if all cards are typewritten. This assures clarity, avoids incorrect 

interpretation and unnecessary delays in processing the cards.
