Can you afford to let another year go by?
Cadillac is by far the soundest automotive investment in Cadillacs year after year. This enables a person who buys
the world. Some of Cadillac's twelve models cost less than a new Cadillac to drive his car for substantially less than
the corresponding models of other fine cars. And, in a many well-known makes over a one, two, or three year
surprising number of cases, they cost little more titan cars span. And, of course, Cadillac ownership offers satisfac
in the middle-price range. One reason is that Cadillac is tions that cannot be measured in terms of cost. For how
gifted with a wide variety of equipment that would cost can you price its wonderful and relaxing quiet? Or its re
extra on lesser cars. A Cadillac price sticker is always warding comfort? Or its incredibly smooth ride? So don’t
worthy of careful study. Then, there is the matter of re- let another year go by without appreciating Cadillac price,
sale. It is a ver> r real fact that Cadillac craftsmanship is an Cadillac comfort, Cadillac performance and Cadillac
irresistible attraction to those who buy previously owned value. Ask your authorized dealer for a demonstration.
