Cadillac Eight Makes
Record Over Mountains

Another road record has just been
added to the long string already held
by the Cadillac Eight in various parts
of the country.
The latest is from Philadelphia, Pa.
to Youngstown, Ohio. $40 miles.
Albert Elton. driving a roadster
made the distance in 10 hours, 80
minutes actual running time
\ great part of the route from Phil
adelphia to Pittsburgh is through
mountainous country, the Alleghanies
being the highest range crossed. The
grades are stiff and many, and there
are numerous sharp turns, both up
and down. In spite of these condi-
tions, the Cadillac made the entire trip
in high gearYand maintained an aver
age speed of 1860 miles per hour. The
car left Philadelphia at o'clock in
the morning and checked in at
Youngstown at 1855 p. IN. the same
day.
