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” frrst appeared
in
the
January
2,
19
15
issue
of
The
Saturday Evening
Post
as
an
expression
of
the Caddac commitment
to
leadership,
quality
and
innovation. It is widely regarded as one
of
the
-
-*
c
frnest documents ever written. It was published following
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 the years,
including the synchro-mech clashless transmission, a
nationwide comprehensive service policy, security plate
glass, chrome plating and the first car to be designed by
a
stylist (1927 LaSalle/Harley 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.

Vld
Engine
During World War
11,
shortly after Pearl Harbor,
Cadillac discontinued car production
for
the fist time
since 1902 in order to construct light tanks, combat
vehicles
and
internal parts for Allison V1710 engines.
Two
Cadillac V8 engines
and
Hydra-Matic
transmissions were used
in
each
M5AI
and
M24
tanks.

There are, to
be
sure, many ways to describe the
superlative motor car pictured. “Beauty,”
“majesty,” “brilliance”
-
all apply,
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
nowhere else in the world of motor
cars.
And
even its new performance
-
smooth, quiet and
effortless
-
might be summarized
as
“elegance
in
motion.” Once you have seen and driven it for
yourself, we
think
you will agree that the word is
“elegance”
-
and that the
car
is
Cadillac!

The electronics

computerization which were
pioneered
by
Cadillac in the

came
of
age in the
'80s
with Digital Fuel Injection and On-Board
Diagnostics in
1980,
four wheel Anti-lock Brakes on
1986
models and Traction Control in the fall
of
1989.
The 1992 Seville STS
was
the first car ever
to
win all
three major automotive awards: Car of the Year, Motor
Trend; Ten Best List, Car
&
Driver; Car
of
the Year,
Automobile Magazine.
The year 1993 saw the introduction

dual overhead camshaft, Northstar
4.6
