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.
