Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine c . . .- . '.
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.
