| Advertisement Text | Cadillac "1910" $1,600 F.O.B. Detroit. Fully 95% of all parts which enter into the construction of the Cadillac "Thirty" are manufactured in the Cadillac plant...It makes the magnificient motor and it makes even the little bolts, nuts and cap screws which go into that motor and the car. It manufactures its own transmissions, its own radiators, its own hoods and its own fenders...1/100 of an inch is the standard measurement in the Cadillac. It may surprise you to know that even the costliest cars fall short on that fineness of measurement in component parts upon which the operation and the life of a motor car is wholly dependent. 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). It offered three versions of the Model Thirty: a 5-passenger touring car, a 4-passenger demi-tonneau, and a 3-passenger roadster. On July 29, 1909, the Cadillac Automobile Company was purchased by General Motors.
