In 1958 there was a new grille featuring multiple round "cleats" at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical members. The grille insert was wider and new bumper guards were positioned lower to the parking lamps. New dual headlamps were used and small chrome fins decorated the front fenders.

Tailfins were less pronounced and trim attachments were revised. The word "Cadillac" appeared in block letters on the fins of base models. On the sides of the car were five longer horizontal wind splits ahead of the non-skirted rear wheel housing and front fender horizontal moldings with crests placed above the trailing edge and no rocker sill trim.

The convertible and the De Villes used solid metal trim on the lower half of the conical projection flares, while other models had a thin ridge molding in the same location. Excluding export sedans and chassis only, the Series 62 offered an all-time record of nine body styles this year. The infamous Cadillac Air-Suspension was optional.

Total Cadillac Production was 121,580  a 25,261 decrease from '57. The recession even hurt Cadillac.
