Whatever your favorite among Cadillac's wide
selection of models, which includes the distinguished
Eldorado Brougham, you will find it a rare master-
piece m everything a ( adillac can be.
Wherever highway* exist and motor car* an- known,
tic name "Cadillac” signifie* but one thing—the
JSmistakablc leader in its field.
For the motor car that has Iwrne that distinguished
name for the past fifty-five years has been ao well
designed and crafti-d that it ha* become a synonym for
everything good and desirable ill a product.
And never have these virtues hes-n more evident
than they arc in the Cadillac car for I9.'»8.
A single, sweeping glance at the new "car of cars ,
for example, reveals a grace and majesty *nd elegance
never before attainable in mmlerii automotive design.
