Most historians know the ironic story of the Cadillac, how it ultimately started out a Ford, and fell victim to reorganization and investor qualms; only to become the Cadillac by a series of mis fortunate events, namely a $900 settlement between Henry Ford and investors giving him only rights to his name. The actual model, Cadillac, was named for the founder of Detroit Michigan an 18th century French explorer. The first actual car was completed in 1902 however, it wasn’t until January of 1903 when it actually made its debut to the public. The impressive Cadillac awed the crowds, and over two thousand people ordered their first Cadillac on that very day. Today, Cadillac operates under the philosophy of “art and science”…encapsulating the beauty of the vehicle with the science behind it, sharper lines, stacked headlamps, and angular grilles serve multiple roles. Perhaps best said, with the honors that have been bestowed upon the vehicle, Cadillac is “The Standard of the World”.
