For the 1948 model, Cadillac
introduced the legendary
tail fin
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 stainless steel roof
and low profile
tires.
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.

A 1993 Cadillac AllantC in stock
technical configuration, was selected
as the pace car for the
76th Indianap-
olis
500. The demanding pace car
performance and handling require-
ments were met because
of such
advanced systems as the
32 valve,
dual overhead camshaft, Northstar
4.6 liter V8 engine, 4t80 E electroni-
cally controlled automatic transaxle,
road sensing suspension, speed sen-
sitive steering, antilock brakes and
traction control.
This
rich tradition continues
into the
'90s as Cadillac became the
first automobile manufacturer to be
awarded the prestigious Malcolm
Baldrige National Quality Award.
The
1992 Seville STS is the first
car ever to
win all three major auto-
motive awards: Car of the Year,
Motor Trend; Ten Best List, Car
&a
Driver; Car of the Year, Automobile
Magazine.
For more than nine decades
Cadillac has been a leader
in quality
and technical innovation. Now more
than ever, substance takes shape
