Cadillac
|
Cadillac, an American Luxury vehicle, is currently the
second oldest American automobile manufacturer behind fellow
GM's Buick make. Cadillac was founded in 1902 by Henry Leland, a master mechanic and
entrepreneur. The company's original crest is based on a coat of arms that his
ancestor, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, had created 1687.
Cadillac has always aimed for precision engineering and stylish
luxury. As an example, it installed shatter-resistant glass in 1926, introduced the
'turret top,' all-steel roof on a passenger car, and in 1948, Tailfins were added to body
shape. This philosophy has caused its cars to be ranked among the finest in the
US.
