In the six years before that, the Cadillac laid the foundations of modern mass production of cars, demonstrating the complete interchangeability of their exact parts and established itself as the very first brand of American high-end cars.

It was also inspired by the company’s logo, which was based on the coat of arms of A. Cadillac. “The Cadillac has developed many automotive devices and fixtures, including a complete electrical system, a shockless manual transmission and a steel roof.

Three engines were developed under the Cadillac brand, one of which (V8 engine) set the standard for the American auto industry.
