As the white back -up taillamps seen here are still the separate ones placed beneath the trunk it cannot be a 1952 or 1953.As from 1952 those were housed within the taillight directional lamps.It is a 1950 or 1951 Cadillac Fleetwood series 75 , hard to tell :hubcaps and front end are not visible to differentiate. |

Hard to be 100% sure. Those tail-fins DO appear to incorporate the reversing lights of a 1951, 1952 or 1953 Cadillac ...and yet there seems to be also a round reversing light inboard of the fin, on the lower trunk panel. But that type of combined tail light DID NOT EXIST in 1950 so the car has to be from 1951 or 1952 (I believe the "V" of the trunk emblem is too NARROW for a 1953 model). Perhaps the owner decided he needed better lighting for reverse operation and added some extra lighting from a 1950 car ! |

I forgot to mention also that the rear door panel interior trim is definitely from 1951 or 1952 (NOT 1950 or 1953). If only we could see two inches more of the lower rear bumper, we could be 100% sure (in 1952, the exhaust was ducted through an oval opening in the rear bumper, but NOT in 1951). |

Here is the last picture of the sequence. If it can help our expert friends? |

It's not a very clear picture, but you can just make out the dark, narrow oval area where the exhaust port comes through the rear bumper. So it has to be a '52 model (95% sure). "Pilou", do you agree ? |
