Great Marques: Cadillac by Andrew Whyte This title in the highly acclaimed Great Marques series is devoted to the most prestigious of all the great American marques: Cadillac. Star of the General Motors Organisation, pany was named in honour of Antoine Laumet de la Mothe Cadillac, the French founder of the city that became automobile capital of the world: Detroit. Cadillacs have always been quality cars above all else, never failing to live up to their famous catchphrase “Standard of the World.” Many of the most spectacular Cadillacs - and what could be more spectacular than a spectacular Cadillac? - are featured in this impressive book, including the beautiful V12s and V16s of the 1920s and ’30s, when pany’s fledgling designers produced some of the finest bodywork ever e out of America; the controversial “tailfin” years of the 1950s; the much sought- after 1960s Eldorado Convertible; and the highly desirable Seville of the 1980s: the first car bine front-wheel-drive, disk brakes all round and V8 engine as standard. Cadillac’s much panion marque, LaSalle, is accorded its due in the book, too, from its seductive first appearance in 1927 to the final edition of 1940. The fascinating story of Cadillac unfolds in telling detail, and we learn as much about the fabulous times these cars so often reflected as we do about their craftsmanship and style. Like the previous titles in the series, this book includes large, dramatic color photographs of the finest Cadillacs, both the elegant and the extraordinary. Nearly all these photographs have been missioned for the book from two of America’s finest car photographers, and they include detail views of luxurious interiors and massive engines, plus specification panels covering many of the most important models. Andrew Whyte is the ideal author to tackle Cadillac. He has studied the history of the marque for many years, and is a highly respected automobile historian on both sides of the Atlantic. His writing (which includes 101 Great Marques and The Centenary Of The Car, both published by Octopus Books) has won him several awards including the prestigious Montagu Trophy and the Society of Automotive Historians Cugnot Award. He is a member of the Guild of Motoring Writers. The Great Marques series has been ed by motoring enthusiasts everywhere. Each book offers an authoritative yet entertaining profile of one of the world’s most important panies. The many thousands of devoted followers of Cadillac will treasure this latest history of their favourite make.
