- Cadillac's personal-luxury coupe had lost its rear skirts in a major 1975 restyle.
- This year brought no drastic changes, but some styling refinements.
- The "Cadillac" script signature was now on the hood (driver's side) rather than the grille itself.
- Though similar to the 1975 version, this year's crosshatch grille was dominated by vertical bars.
- peaked forward at the center.
- It at so reached a bit higher than the quad rectangular headlamps.
- New amber-lensed parking lamps rested down in the bumper; horizontal amber-lensed cornering lamps sat back on front fenders.
- Massive vertical extensions of the outboard bumper protrusions stood at front fender tips.
- Eldorado script was on rear fenders and decklid.
- Wide, simple new taillamps were continuous red slots within wide bezel frames, below the decklid and above the bumper.
- Backup lights were on each side of the license plate.
- Additional red lenses, facing both side and rear, sat in the massive vertical chrome fender extensions. Distinctively-shaped opera windows sloped down and forward at the base, following the dip in the quarter panel.
- Other styling highlights included dual accent stripes next to upper and lower crease lines of the hood's beveled edges.
- Upper stripes enderi at the hood's rear edge; lower stripes extended all the way to rear edge of door.
