Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 I949 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. 
The Eladlorado, introduced in 31953, was redesigned for 
1967 as the first front wheel drive personal  luxury car. 
The 472 cu. in. V8 engine used in all1 Cadillacs  in 1948 
and 
1969 was  enlarged to 500 cu. in. for all 1970 
through 1974 Eldorados. The Track Master 
computerized 
slud control braking system option 
debuted  on 1970 EBdorados. 
A driver and passenger Air Cushion Restraint 
system  (air 
bag) was available on all 1974, 1975 and 
1.974 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  ~n-bo~d rni.croprocessor.
