Cadillac
Vehicle Manufacturer

A manufacturer of cars and SUVs.  General Motors' premiere luxury brand.

Founded as the Cadillac Automobile Company in 1902.  The Cadillac Motor Car Co. was purchased by General Motors in 1909 at a price of $5,669,250.

In 1930, Cadillac became the first company to offer a 16-cylinder automobile engine in its cars.  In 1938 it offered the first sunroof and the first steering column gear shift.

The one millionth Cadillac was built on November 25, 1949, and was a 1949 Coupe deVille.  The four millionth Cadillac was produced June 19, 1969.

In 1970, Cadillac would begin to offer the 500 cu. in. engine in its cars, the first production passenger car engine of that size.  Just over a decade later, in a dramatic reversal, Cadillac's V-8-6-4 variable displacement engine debuted in 1981.  In 1985 Cadillac produced the first transversely mounted front wheel drive V8 car.  The Northstar engine debuted in 1992.

Vehicle names used by Cadillac currently and throughout history include:  Allanté, Aurora, Calais, Catera, Cien, Cimarron, Coupe deVille, CTS, Cyclone, deVille, DTS, Eldorado, Escalade, Fleetwood, Model 30, Model A, Model C, Model D, Model K, Sedan deVille, Series 10, Series 341, Series 353, Series 40, Series 452, Series 50, Series 60, Series 62, Series 75, Series 90, Seville, Sixteen, Solitaire, SRX, STS, Type 53, V-16, V-63, Vizon, Voyage, and XLR.
