led the industry and enabled Cadillacsto travel at speeds

up to

Dewar Trophy

to Cadillactwice

first in 1908for

achieving perfect interchangeabilityof parts and again

for introducing theelectric self starter,electric lighting

and ignition systemon 19 12 models. Cadillac is the

only American manufacturerto win this honor and

the only manufacturerin the world to winit twice. As

commonplace as standardizedparts are today, in 1908
