What a Cadillac VIN tells you
Every Cadillac built since 1981 has a 17-character VIN. The first three characters (the World Manufacturer Identifier) show who built it and where; characters 4–8 describe the model, body and engine; the 10th character is the model year; the 11th is the assembly plant; and the last six are the vehicle’s serial number.
| VIN starts with | Usually means |
|---|---|
| 1G6 | Cadillac cars built in the United States |
| 1GY | Cadillac SUVs built in the United States |
| 1GYS | Escalade (full-size SUV) |
Prefixes are a general guide. The decoder above reads the full VIN for the exact details.
How to get the original Cadillac window sticker
GM keeps sticker records for many recent Chevrolet, GMC, Buick and Cadillac vehicles, but availability varies by model year, so not every VIN will have an original sticker on file.
Cadillac RPO codes
Like all GM vehicles, Cadillacs have RPO option codes on a label in the glovebox or trunk. See our GM RPO codes guide.
Where to find the VIN on a Cadillac
