1996 CADILLAC DEVILLE engine

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine There are, to be sure, many ways to describe the
superlative motor car pictured. “Beauty,”
“majesty,” “brilliance”
- all apply, in their
fullest meaning, to this new Cadillac. And yet,
from this wonderful vocabulary, we have selected “elegance” as the word that most fully
characterizes the Cadillac
of 1960. The car’s
beautiful, clean-lined styling is certainly elegant
beyond compare. its new interior
luxury
provides a feeling of elegance that can be sensed
nowhere else in the world of motor
cars. And
even its new performance
- smooth, quiet and
effortless
- might be summarized as “elegance
in motion.” Once you have seen and driven it for
yourself, we
think you will agree that the word is
“elegance”
- and that the car is Cadillac!

For .the 1948 model, Cadillac introduced the legendary
tail fin which once more set the trend in automotive
styling for nearly two decades.
This was closely
followed with the two door hardtop Coupe DeVille and the industry's first modern overhead valve, high
compression V8 engine on the 1949 model.
Engineering innovations, conveniences and styling
dominated the
'50s and '60s. Cruise control, automatic
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 advances such as air suspension, memory seat,
automatic electric door locks, transistor radio, a brushed
stainless steel roof and low profile tires.
1957 Eldorado Brougham
The Eldorado, introduced in 1953, was redesigned for
1967 as the first front wheel drive personal
luxury car.
The 472 cu. in.
V8 engine used in all Cadillacs in 1968
and 1969 was enlarged to
500 cu. in. for all 1970
through 1976 Eldorados. The Track Master
computerized skid control braking system option
debuted on 1970 Eldorados.
A driver and passenger Air Cushion Restraint
system (air bag) was available on all 1974, 1975 and
1976 Cadillacs.
Analog Electronic Fuel Injection was available, on 1975 Cadillacs and standard on
the new international
size 1976 Seville. In 1978, the Trip Computer option
incorporated the first on-board microprocessor.

pioneered
by Cadillac in the '70s came of age in the
'80s with Digital Fuel Injection and On-Board
Diagnostics in
1980, four wheel Anti-lock Brakes on
1986 models and Traction Control in the fall of 1989.
The 1992 Seville STS
was the first car ever to win all
three major automotive awards: Car of the Year, Motor
Trend; Ten Best List, Car
& Driver; Car of the Year,
Automobile Magazine.

of the Northstar
system. The state
of the art system includes the 32 valve,
dual overhead camshaft, Northstar
