Anyone know of a Cadillac specific junk yard? I need a piece of window glass and am having a hard time locating it.
http://www.allamericanclassics.com/ Not Caddy specific, but they have a lot of parts for older Caddys. I've found some stuff there for my 68.
There's a Caddy yard on highway 507 between Tenino Washington and I-5. At one time it was open, but the owner died and I've heard one of his kids has it now. Had a bunch of late 40s/early 50s cars (all Caddys) in it at one time. I know there's still cars in there, but how many are still there I can't say as the state required them to put a fence around it. The name has 'enterprises' in it, that's all I can remember. Coming from Seattle, take I-5 south and take the Tenino/Grand Mound exit 88, and turn left towards Tenino. It's 5-6 miles IIRC, will be on your left.
This is THE place for Caddy parts. I hope you realize none of this stuff is cheap. http://www.honestjohn.com/
In Nevada. I think they are $$, but if you need a specific part it should be there... http://www.allcads.com/parts
There is a guy here in MD who does caddy on the backsidd of a yard called glory days. It was the old George wise yard. Ole dollar George. A dollar for what's in your hands and five for what's in your pockets!

I suggest that you, and anyone else who reads this, use the tempest search for craigslist. You can access all of craigslist with one search. Best results other than club classifieds. From my experience, manufacturer specific yards are very proud of their parts; though I have resorted to them in desperation, as many have, and was very happy to get the parts. However, after all was said and done, I wanted to give them all bandanas to wear --- because what transpired was little more than highway robbery.
