| Advertisement Text | Sixteen times around the world, Cadillac "Thirty" once more proves itself most economical motor car. Remarkable record submitted by 75 Cadillac "Thirty" owners in New York metropolitan district who have driven their cars 398,884 miles at a total cost for mechanical repairs of $53.21, averaging 71 cents per car...A year or more ago they proved before the Royal Automobile Club of London that three Cadillacs could be torn down; all the parts thrown in a pile; a portion of these parts discarded and new ones substituted, and the three cars built up again from the heap of parts to run with absolute sweetness and without so much as an iota of looseness. For this the Cadillac was awarded the Dewar Trophy...M.S. Brigham Motor Car Co. |
| Contextual Notes | In 1908, Cadillac introduced the Model Thirty to consumers at a lower basic price ($1400) than its Model G ($2000).
