Brand Description

Cadillac was founded in 1902 by William Murphy, Lemuel Bowen, and Henry M. Leland. The brand was named after the French explorer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, who founded Detroit in 1701. Cadillac was able to quickly establish itself as one of America's top luxury car brands thanks to its precision engine-making and luxurious designs, which set a standard for the industry. Throughout the 20th century, Cadillac became a symbol of American success and opulence. In the post-war era, Cadillacs were known for their distinctive, luxurious appearance and cutting-edge technology, including innovations like the V8 engine, which helped them maintain dominance in the market. The brand has continued to evolve over the decades, adapting to changes in consumer preferences and technological advancements, while maintaining its commitment to luxury and quality.
