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
&
Driver; Car of the Year, Automobile
Magazine.
A 1993 Cadillac Allant6 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.

than nine decades
Cadillac has been a leader in quality
and technical innovation.
