THE HISTORY OF THE CADILLAC
If you didn't know how Cadillac came to be sit back and I will
tell you. It may surprise you how this American classic car came
about. Most historians know the ironic story of the Cadillac,
how it ultimately started out a Ford, and fell victim to
reorganization and investor qualms; only to become the Cadillac
by a series of misfortunate events, namely a $900 settlement
between Henry Ford and investors; giving him only rights to his
name. But don't feel too sorry for Mr. Ford, after all, he did
pretty well for himself after all.
The actual model, Cadillac, was named for the founder of Detroit
Michigan; an 18th century French explorer. The first actual car
was completed in 1902; however, it wasn't until January of 1903
when it actually made its debut to the public. The impressive
Cadillac awed the crowds, and over two thousand people ordered
their first Cadillac on that very day.
Cadillac went on to win awards world-wide for their reliability
and quality. As well, the Cadillac can be thanked for several
firsts in the automobile industry. For example, the Cadillac was
the first car to have an electric start; earlier cars were
"cranked". The first V-8 engine was introduced in 1915, in none
other than the Cadillac.
From the post war error until modern day, the Cadillac has been
a car of luxury and known for its smooth ride and quietness;
usually only sold to the wealthiest of clients. In fact,
Cadillac suffered its lowest points when trying to incorporate a
vehicle for younger and median income clients; perhaps targeting
the wrong audience. Cadillac learned from the hardships that
escalated in the early eighties with such models as the compact
Cimarron, and began once again marketing towards more mature and
middle to upper class individuals, those that wanted luxury and
comfort in their automobiles.
Today, Cadillac operates under the philosophy of "art and
science"...encapsulating the beauty of the vehicle with the
science behind it; sharper lines, stacked headlamps, and angular
grilles serve multiple roles. As well, Cadillac has moved into
the sport utility line of vehicles, offering luxury and comfort
to those that need the power and necessity of a sport utility
vehicle.
There are many fans of the Cadillac both young and old as the
older fans have owned a classic like the 1959 el Dorado while
younger fans have an Escalade in their garage. It is quite rare
that a car maker has fans from many generations. As a result
their are fan sites all over the internet like
http://www.cadillaccountryclub.com Perhaps it is best said; with
the honors that have been bestowed upon the vehicle, Cadillac is
"The Standard of the World".
