This latter fiiiy tlnit the Cadillac of 3000 commands a bigbor (propor tionate) price today than any year-old car on the market. And tho moni you analyze that fact the moro will it importance grow ti)on you. Why wboiild thin be true of the Cudillnc "Thirty" in particular; nnd what fipecinl superiority doo tho car poseofiB ovor others that tnnkoH it us Rood vnllio in ils Mcconds years ns in its firnl 7 Tho answer in almost disappointingly simple: Hecauao no othar car in tho history of tho industry luis ovor boon built with the same IhoroiipbiusB and care.
