Few automobiles are fortunate enough to have the rich
heritage
that
is Cadillac, The name Cadillac is appropriately
that
of
Antoine de
La
Mothe Cadillac, the French military
commander who founded the city of Detroit in
170
1,
What
better name for the oldest automobile manufacturer in Detroit.
Henry
M.
Leland, known as the
master of precision, initiated his pre-
cision 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
Club of England awarded the pres-
tigious

to Cadillac twice
.
.
Law!
The introduction of
the first four cylinder en-
gine in
1905
led the industry and
enabled Cadillacs to travel at speeds
up to
50
mph.
For attention to quality and in-
novation, the Royal Automobile
Dewar
Trophy
1
first in
1908
for achieving
perfect interchangeability
of parts and again in
1912
for introducing the elec-
tric self starter, electric

lighting and ignition
svstem.
r,
Cadillac is the only
American manufacturer
b
to win this honor and the
only manufacturer in the world to win
it twice. As commonplace as stan-
dardized parts are today, in
1908
parts
were still individually hand fitted
both in production and service.

Standardization opened the eyes of
the industrial world and was the cor-
ner-stone
of
modern
U
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, clean-
liness and all-weather comfort were
greatly enhanced in
1910
when Cad-
illac became the first manufacturer
to offer closed bodies as standard
equipment.
“The Penalty of Leadership”
first appeared in the January
2,
1915
issue
of
The Saturday Evening Post
as an expression of the Cadillac com-
mitment to leadership, quality, and
innovation. It is widely regarded as
one
of
the finest documents ever
written and was published following
the introduction of the first produc-
tion
V8
engine. The
V8
was stan-
dard in all
1915
model Cadillacs.
Many Cadillac “firsts” have fol-
lowed over the years, including the
synchro-mech clashless transmis-
sion, a nation-wide comprehensive

service policy, security plate glass,
chrome plating and the first car to
be designed
by
a stylist
(1927
La-
Salle/Harley Earl). The
’30s
wit-
nessed production of the smooth and
quiet
V12
and
-\
The crisp, contemporary lines of the
1938
60
Special series ushered in
a
new era in styling.
During World War
11,
shortly
after Pearl Harbor, Cadillac discon-
tinued car production for the first
time since
1902
in order to construct
light tanks, combat vehicles and
internal parts for Allison
V1710
en-
gines. Two Cadillac
V8
engines and
Hydra-Matic transmissions were
used in each tank.

For the
1948
model, Cadillac
introduced the legendary
tail
fin
which set the trend in automotive
styling for nearly two decades. This
was followed
by
the 1949 model with
the two door hardtop Coupe DeVille
and the modern overhead valve,
high compression
V8
engine.
-
Engineering innovations, con-
veniences and styling dominated the
'50s
and '60s. Cruise control, auto-
matic climate control,
tilt
and
telescoping steering wheels, twilight
sentinel and four door hard tops all
debuted in these years. In
1957
the
Eldorado Brougham featured ad-
vances such as air suspension, mem-
ory seat, automatic electric
door
locks, transistor radio,
a
brushed
stainless steel roof and low profile
tires.
introduced in
1953,
was redesigned for
1967
as the
first front wheel drive personal lux-
ury car. The
472
cu. in.
V8
engine
used
in
all
Cadillacs in 1968 and
1969
was enlarged to
500
cu. in. for
all
1970 Eldorados.
An Air Cushion Restraint Sys-
tem (airbag) was available for
1974,
1975
and
1976
Cadillacs.
Analog Electronic Fuel Injec-
tion was available, on
1975
Cadillacs
and was standard on the new inter-
national size 1976 Seville. In 1978,
the Trip Computer option incor-
porated an on-board microprocessor.
