The Cadillac 1958 Data Book published by the Cadillac Division was written to help the Cadillac salesman to show why the Cadillac was better than the automotive competition.
It is divided into a separate section for each of that year's models.
The section for each model has pictures of the exterior detail for that Cadillac model and the interior style options, including exterior trim options, wheel options, diagrams and photos on engine features, transmission features, brake options, special "extra-cost options" and dimensions and specifications. With text and photos, Cadillac describes the special features which make it superior to other automobiles.
