Contributions to the Automotive

1960
Cadillac | Cadillac helped to define advanced
engineering, luxury and style early in Automotive History and would come to be
known as one of the world's finest made vehicles. Precision manufacturing of
truly interchangeable parts was an award-winning industry first in 1908.
Cadillac was the first manufacturer to release cars with a fully enclosed cab as
factory equipment in 1910. Standard electric engine starting and lighting was
another award winner for 1912. Cadillac introduced the first production V8
engine for the 1914 model year. Cadillac was the first manufacturer to utilize
the skills of a designer to produce a car's body instead of an engineer (1927).
This gave the public a car that looked as good as it performed. Cadillac's
engineers were first to design a manual transmission with synchronizers for
increased drivability (1929) and were instrumental in the early development of
the automatic transmission, beginning in 1932. Cadillac offered a production
V-16 engine from 1930 through 1940 and introduced the production independent
wishbone front suspension in 1934. The marque introduced tailfins for 1948. From
the late 1960s onward, Cadillac offered a fiber-optic indication system which
alerted the driver of a failed light bulb.
