Hi, If you are "desperate"  enough to interchange other GM makes, try 1948/49 Buick Super/Roadmaster sedanettes, and the 1948/49 Olds 98 sedanette. These would probably fit the opening OK, but there might be some difference in the way the trunk latches work. And of course, you would have to fill all the "wrong" holes and make the Cadillac ones. This was a two year only body style, and no other GM makes will interchange. The trunk hinges themselves are probably the same, as I can't see GM making different ones for so small a # of cars.
