For the 1948 model, Cadillac
introduced the
7
which set the trend in automotive
styling for nearly two decades. This
was followed
by the 1949 model with
the two door hardtop Coupe DeVille
and the modern overhead valve,
high compression
V8 engine
Engineering innovations, con-
veniences and styling dominated the
'50s and '60s. Cruise control, auto-
matic climate control,
tilt and
telescoping steering wheels, twilight
sentinel and four door hard tops all
debuted in these years. In
1957 the
Eldorado Brougham featured
ad-
vances such as air suspension, mem-
ory seat, automatic electric door
locks, transistor radio, a brushed
1
stainless steel roof and low profile
tires.
The Eldorado,I introduced in
1953, was redesigned for 1967 as the
first front wheel drive personal
lux-
ury car. The 472 cu. in. V8 engine
used in
all Cadillacs in 1968 and
1969 was enlarged to 500 cu. in. for
all
1970 Eldorados.
An Air Cushion Restraint Sys-
tem (airbag) was available for
1974,
1975 and 1976 Cadillacs.
Analog Electronic Fuel Injec-
tion was available, on
1975 Cadillacs
and was standard on
the new inter-
national size 1976 Seville. In 1978,
the Trip Computer option incor-
porated an on-board microprocessor.

Front Seatback Latches (Two-Door Models)
The front seatback folds forward to let people get into the back seat.
Your seatback will move back and forth freely, unless you come to a
sudden stop. Then it will lock in place.
There’s one time the seatback may not fold without some help from you.
That’s
if your vehicle is parked going down a fairly steep hill.

The square keys are
for the ignition only.
The round keys are for
the doors and all other
locks.
When a new Cadillac
is delivered, the dealer
removes the plugs
from the keys, and
gives them to the first
owner.
Each plug has a code on it that tells your dealer or a qualified locksmith
how to make extra keys. Keep the plugs in a safe place.
If you lose your
keys, you'll be able
to have new ones made easily using these plugs. If
your ignition keys don't have plugs, go to your Cadillac dealer for the
~- correct key code if you need a new ignition key.

A CAUTION:
I
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.

Passengers -- especially children -- can easily open the doors
and fall out. When
a door is locked, the inside handle won’t I
open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked door when you
slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in a crash if the doors aren’t locked.
Wear safety belts properly, lock your doors, and you
will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
