overthe years

“Craftsmanship

the

finest documents ever written. It was published following

the introduction of the first production V8 engine,

which was standard in all Cadillacs beginning with the

Many Cadillac “firsts”have followed over the years,

including the synchro-mech clashless transmission, a

from this wonderful vocabulary,wehave

selected“elegance”as the word that most fully

characterizes the Cadillac of
