And never was it truer than in the case of a great many fine Cadillac families. For there are, in our land today, a number of families that currently boast as many as three generations at the wheel. We mention this simply to underscore a great and dramatic truth about Cadillac?that, of course, is its unchanging goodness and quality. For fifty-five years, the Cadillac name has signified one and the same thing to motorists everywhere?a motor car created at the highest level that automotive science would permit. Over that time, Cadillac has attracted to the -anks of its owners the finest list of names to be found anywhere on the American motoring scene. And, those who have followed the path to Cadillac in 1957 are enjoying the most abundant blessings of this ceaseless crusade for quality. The new "car of cars", with coachcraft by Fleetwood, is beautiful and luxurious to an un precedented degree. And its performance and handling ease are a revelation! Certainly, the Cadillac car has now become an even wiser investment for an even wider circle of America's motorists. If you have yet to acquaint yourself with these brilliant Cadillac virtues for 1957, your dealer will be delighted to tell you how easily you can make Cadillac a fins family custom of your ownl VISIT YOUR AUTHORIZED CADILLAC DEALER
