1993 Eldorado
All-new in design the year before, the Eldorado gained not only more members in its series, but also the Cadillac-exclusive Northstar engine under the hood of two of those members.
The 1993 Cadillac had a 17-symbol vehicle identification number (VIN) stamped on a metal tag attached to the upper left surface of the cowl visible through the windshield. The digits of the code were as follows: |
First digit = "1" = manufacturing country (United States) |
Second = "G" = General Motors |
Third = "6" = Cadillac |
Fourth & fifth = car line/series: E/L = Eldorado |
Sixth = the body style: 5 = four-door sedan |
Seventh = the restraint code:
|
Eighth = the engine:
|
Ninth = check digit |
10th = model year, "P" for 1993 |
11th = the assembly plant |
The remaining six digits identify the production sequence number |
