It is scarcely necessary to mention Cadillac-La Salle prestige or one’s pride in possessing either of these cars. Certainly it is fruitless to sug- gest that any other car equals them on this score. Just as certainly they stand alone in beauty, in spite of vain but understandable attempts to imitate their style.
