 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

over the years-“Craftsmanship A Creed -Accuracy
A Law.”
The introductionof the first four cylinder engine
in 1905
led the industry and enabled Cadillacs to travel
at speeds
up to 50 mph.
For attentionto quality and innovation, the Royal
Automobile Club of England awarded the prestigious
Dewar Trophy to Cadillac twice. . . first in 1908 for
achieving perfect interchangeabilityof parts and again
for introducing theelectric self starter, electric lighting
and ignition systemon 1912 models. Cadillac is the
only American manufacturer to win this honor and
