| "The Cadillac Standard" by James D. Bell covers pages 290-311 with much detailed information on the marque, particularly the early years. There is very little information on Cadillacs of the fifties, but the last 4 pages are on the 1965 Cadillac. |

| A very entertaining book, organized in chapters describing the works of individual designers. The book begins with 6 pages on Harley Earl, and discusses and displays the '53 and '59 Eldorados. The many prototypes, styling exercises and famous production cars are a visual delight. |

| Godshall's line art drawings and bullet points make an excellent guide for recognizing the differences between Eldorados from year to year, and the differences between the Eldorado and the regular Cadillac models. |
