Cadillac is a brand name that symbolizes prestige, luxury, and top-performance with its cars. Unlike many of its competitors, this is a vintage car manufacturer. It was born in 1902 when the Henry Ford Company was preparing for liquidation; Cadillac was established from what remained of the company, making it one of the oldest automobile brands in the world. Here are a few reasons why it continues to be a popular automaker.
Prestigious history
Cadillac is more than a century old—a remarkable feat for any brand. It offered the first car that went into mass production. It was the first national automobile brand to win the Dewar Trophy from the Royal Automobile Club of England. With its grandeur and success, the brand adopted the slogan “Standard of the World.” In 1909, General Motors bought the brand. Within eight years of its origin, it came out with its passenger car that offered a fully-closed cabin for the first time in automobile history. Two years after that came a Cadillac model with electronic self-ignition. This feature won the brand its second Dewar Trophy, a prestigious award that not many vehicle brands have received. In 2015, the company introduced the V8 eight-cylinder engine, one of the brand’s proprietary icons. For almost fifty years, it reigned supreme, thanks largely to its superior engine technology. Now, the parent company is all set to make the brand a trendsetter in the EV section, aligned with its reputation of being a leader for a century.
