Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Few automobiles are fortunate enough to have the rich heritage
that
is Cadiilac. The name Cadilllac is appropriately that of
Antoine de La Mothe Cadillae, the French military commander
who founded the city of Detroit in 1708. What better name for
the oldest automobile manufacturer in Detroit.
Henry M. Leland, known as the master of precision,
initiated his precision manufacturing techniques at the
founding of Cadillac
in 1902. His exacting standards
prompted
the motto by which Cadillac has been guided
over the years
- “Craftsmanship A Creed - Accuracy
A Law.”
The introduction of the first four cylinder engine in 1905
led the industry and enabled Cadillacs to travel at speeds
up to
50 mph.
For attention to quality and innovation, the Royal
Automobile Club of England awarded the prestigious
Dewar Trophy to Cadillac twice . . . first in 1908 for
achieving perfect interchangeability of parts and again
for introducing the electric self starter, electric lighting
and ignition system on 191 2 models. Cadillac is the
only American manufacturer to win this honor and
the only manufacturer in the world to win
it twice. As
commonplace as standardized parts are today, in 1908
parts were still individually hand fitted both in
production and service.
