In all its quarl,er-century of success and pres-
tige, in all•its long iist of engineering achievements,
Cadillac has never scored a more brilliant triumph
than in its recent presentation of 50 body styles and
types, and 500 color and upholstery combinations.
It is perhaps inevitable that only Cadillac is
so organized and perfected that it can make this
brilliant manufacturing advance, which in its way
is as notable as any of Cadillac's engineering
successes.
Cadillac's prestige, old as the industry itself,
culminating in the unprecedented success of the
new, 90-degree Cadillac, is now carried to the ulti-
mate of exclusiveness and distinction, setting
Cadillac definitel apart from competition.
