What Is a Cadillac VIN Number?
Every Cadillac vehicle manufactured after 1981 is assigned a unique 17-character Vehicle Identification Number - commonly called a VIN. This code is not random: each position in the sequence carries specific information about the vehicle.
Positions 1-3 identify the manufacturer. Cadillac vehicles assembled in the United States carry WMI codes starting with 1GY or 1G6 - both under the General Motors umbrella. The Escalade is built at the GM plant in Arlington, Texas, while CT4 and CT5 sedans are assembled in Lansing, Michigan. Cadillac models assembled in other countries carry different WMI prefixes depending on the plant.
Positions 4-8 encode the vehicle descriptor: body style, engine type, restraint system, and model line. Position 10 identifies the model year - for example, K = 2019, L = 2020, M = 2021. Positions 12-17 form the production sequence number unique to each individual vehicle. Running a Cadillac VIN decoder against these characters instantly surfaces the vehicle's original factory specs - and more importantly, anything that changed after it left the lot.
