For the 1948 model, Cadillac
introduced the
7
which set the trend in automotive
styling for nearly two decades. This
was followed
by the 1949 model with
the two door hardtop Coupe DeVille
and the modern overhead valve,
high compression
V8 engine
Engineering innovations, con-
veniences and styling dominated the
'50s and '60s. Cruise control, auto-
matic climate control,
tilt and
telescoping steering wheels, twilight
sentinel and four door hard tops all
debuted in these years. In
1957 the
Eldorado Brougham featured
ad-
vances such as air suspension, mem-
ory seat, automatic electric door
locks, transistor radio, a brushed
1
stainless steel roof and low profile
tires.
The Eldorado,I introduced in
1953, was redesigned for 1967 as the
first front wheel drive personal
lux-
ury car. The 472 cu. in. V8 engine
used in
all Cadillacs in 1968 and
1969 was enlarged to 500 cu. in. for
all
1970 Eldorados.
An Air Cushion Restraint Sys-
tem (airbag) was available for
1974,
1975 and 1976 Cadillacs.
Analog Electronic Fuel Injec-
tion was available, on
1975 Cadillacs
and was standard on
the new inter-
national size 1976 Seville. In 1978,
the Trip Computer option incor-
porated an on-board microprocessor.

Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable until it
is too late. Your hearing can adapt
to higher volumes of sound.
Sound that seems normal can be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Take precautions by adjusting the volume control on
your radio to a safe sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and
clearly.

FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals will reach only
about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). And, tall buildings or hills can
interfere with
FM signals, causing the sound to come and go.
