You are incorrect in that the Coupe de Ville and Sedan de Ville had those 7 bar windsplits, along with the 62 Series. The de Villes had script on the front fender that read either sedan or coupe de ville while the 62 series just had the word Cadillac.
it’s correct that the de Villes had a script on the front fenders. However, the Coupe de Ville and Sedan de Ville were part of the 62 series with style numbers 6237DX and 6239DX respectively.
I have a brochure that shows them as seperate cars, but I can’t post it here. Also, that emblem was used on all models except the Eldorado’s. The 62 series was cheaper I believe. I had a 58 sedan de ville and a 58 62 series sedan, the 62 had vinyl seats and the sedan de ville had leather. Plus another trim molding difference, but not on the 57. I can send you the brochure page I have if you’d like, just need an address.

Here’s a shot from the 1957 Cadillac sales brochure
