And it says plenty—of very great importance. First of all, it tells you what it’s like to have com- mand of a 250-horsepower engine that’s as smooth as velvet, and so quick and eager that you have to educate your driving toe all over again. It tells you what it’s like to have virtually every unevenness in the highway completely eliminated before it is even noticeable to driver or passengers, And it‘tells you what it’s like to relax amidst upholstery fabrics and leathers that are found nowhere else; save in the 1955 Cadillac—not even in the finest clubs or hotels; All this is to say, of course, that Cadillac has made another tremendous advance in design and engineer- ing—so great, in fact, that only a drive and a personal 319 CAROLINE STREET inspection can let you realize its full significance. And, naturally, there is yet greater emphasis on all the long-existing Cadillac virtues: —the endurance that enables a Cadillac owner to keep his car just as long as he elects to do so... and with complete confidence in its dependability— —the amazing economy of operation and upkeep which causes many owners to maintain that it is the most economical car on the American highway— —the great personal satisfaction that comes from owning a car which is recognized, wherever high- ways lead, as the Standard of the World. We ially invite you to come in—today—to see and tee thin wonderful, wonderful car, i There are eight models—in four different series— “including the sensational Eldorado, There is one to please you—exactly.
