In 1909 Cadillac was purchased

greatly enhanced in 1910 when Cad-

equipment.
“The Penalty
of Leadership”
first appeared in the January 2, 1915
issue of The Saturdav Evenine Post
as an expression
of the Cadillac com-
mitment
to leadership, quality, and
innovation.
It is widely regarded as
one of the finest documents ever
written and was published following
the introduction of the first produc-
tion V8 engine. The V8 was stan-
dard in all 1915 model Cadillacs.
Many Cadillac “firsts” have fol-
lowed over the years, including the

new era in styling.
During World War

after Pearl Harbor, Cadillac discon-
tinued car production for the first
time since 1902 in order to construct
light tanks, combat vehicles and internal parts for Allison V1710 en-
gines. Two Cadillac V8 engines and
Hydra-Matic transmissions were
used in each tank.
