Tt is an enthusiasm which has burst the ordinary bounds of restraint and registered itself in a sales preference surpassing all 938 golden periods in Cadillae istory. This freshened and swelling en- thusiasm over Cadillac is impres- sive because it is spontaneous and unforced. It is public recognition in the truest sense—a recognition that Cadillac performance is still, as it always has been, the goal of hopes unrealized for every other car.
