Few automobiles are fortunate enough to have the rich heritage Ca@llac. The name Cadillac is appropriately that of that ..isr Antoirie &`La Mothe Cadillac, the French military commander who founded the city of Detroit 1701. What better name for in the oldest automobile manufacturer in Detroit. Henry M. Leland, known as the master of precision, initiated hisprecision manufacturing techniques at the founding of Cadillac in 1902. His exacting standards prompted the motto by which Cadillac has been guided over the years - "Craftsmanship A Creed -Accuracy A Law." The introduction of the firstfour cylinder engine in 1905 led the industry and enabled Cadillacs to travel at speeds up to50 mph. For attention to quality and innovation, the Royal Automobile Club of England awarded the prestigious Dewar Trophy to Cadillac twice . . . first in 1908 for achieving perfect interchangeability of parts and again for introducing the electric self starter, electric lighting and ignition system on 1912 models. Cadillac is the only American manufacturer to win this honor and the only manufacturer in the world to win it twice. As commonplace as standardized parts are today, in 1908 parts were still individually hand fitted both in production and service. : g: .i . , Standardization opened the eyes of the industrial world and was the cornerstone of modem assembly line production. From this achievement evolved the reference to Cadillac as "Standard of the World." In 1909 Cadillac was purchased by the then new General Motors Corporation. Convenience, cleanliness and all-weather comfort were greatly enhanced in 1910 when Cadillac became the first manufacturer to offer closed bodies as standard equipment. "The Penalty of Leadership" first appeared the in January 2, 1915 issue of The Saturday Evening Post an as expression of the Cadillac commitment to leadership, quality and innovation. Itis widely regarded as oneof the finest documents ever written. It was publishedfollowing the introduction of the first production V8 engine, which was standard in all Cadillacs beginning with the 1915 model. Many Cadillac "firsts" have followed over years, the including the synchro-mech clashless transmission,a nationwide comprehensive service policy, security plate 3 olass, chrome plating and the first car be designed by to a stylist (1927 LaSalleMarley Earl). The '30s witnessed production of the powerful, smooth and quiet V12 and V16 engines. The crisp, contemporary lines of the 1938 60 Special series ushered in a new era in styling. VI 6 Engine During World War 11, shortly after Pearl Harbor, Cadillac discontinued car prgduction for the first time since 1902 in order to construct light tanks, combat vehicles and internal parts for Allison V17 10 engines. Two Cadillac V8 engines and Hydra-Matic transnlissions were used in each M5AI and M24 tanks. There are, to besure, many ways to describe the superlative motor car pictured. "Beauty," "majesty,""brilliance" - allapply, in their fullest meaning, to this new Cadillac. And yet. from this wonderful vocabulary, we have selected "elegance" as the word that most fully characterizes the Cadillac of 1960. The car's beautiful, clean-lined styling is certainly elegant beyond compare. Its new interior luxury provides a feeling of elegance that can be sensed n nowhere else i the world of motor cars. And even its new performance - smcioth. quiet and effortless - might besummarized as "elegance you in motion.'' Once have seen and driven it for yourself, we think you will that the word is agree "elegance" - and that the car is Cadillac! CADLLAC MOTOR CAR Dn'iSION.
