The Standard of Comparison In the first place, you know that Cadillac has had the advantage of twenty years experience in building exclusively one quality car. ust Right for Two! The 1923 Four Cylinder Roadster Smart, sturdy — you won’t find another two-passenger four cylinder roadster that compares with this new Buick in quality or in price. Inspect it from any angle—snug; beautifully tailored top; long, low body lines; heavy one-piece crown fenders; lots of room for two people and two compartments for their luggage. A big steering wheel that comes up to you, a shifting lever that operates without bending forward, a transmission lock and improvements which give all 1923 Buicks a Class “A” fire insurance rating. » And, below the surface, the famous Buick Valve-in-Head motor and chassis with refinements throughout which set a new stand- ard of quality and performance in automobiles. These are just a few of the many distinctive features that make this new roadster a car without an equal in its class. We’ll be glad to give you a demonstration any time. You know that out of its unique experience Cadillac has evolved a standard of craftsmanship and pre- cision manufacture that could scarcely be arrived at in any other way. These things are not alone our testimony—they are the acknowl- edged facts, and as such are of peculiar importance to buyers of high grade automobiles. We believe that almost every individual, after careful consider- ation, will understand the justice of the majority decision; that Type 61 Cadjllacis both the Stand- ard of the World and the world’s greatest motor car value. You are aware that the Type 61 Cadillac, built in accordance with . these precision methods, is declared by European and American en- gineers to surpass all previous Cadillac records for dependability.
