The qualities which distinguish the enthusiastically and
progressively developed by a skilled group of designers, engineers
and craftsnen-have been seventeen years in te making.
The Cadillac If today, is the fruit Of thousands of forward
looking yesterdays:
Through these earnest plnaakng yesterdays, this corps Of
master worknen has brought the Cadillac to the worldwide
precedence which it enjoys today.
Everyone feels, in the Cadillac, a definite, superior some
thing, which few are able to express in words.
That definite something is the wenroumded completion and
