Why, you might ask is this 50? What is the
reason for powering motor car SO far beyond its
normal needs?
Well, in the judgment of Cadillac engineers, its
done for number of reasons.
First of these is safety. A great reserve Of power
for the quick escape from an emergency is OF the
essence Of highway safety. There is simply no
substitute for it.
Then there's economy. A big, powerful engine
that loafs at normal speeds permits the use
of an axle ratio that makes for gasoline economy.
There is long life, too-for the absence Of strain
adds years and years to the life Of any mechanism.
