irst of Its Happy Owners
The Cadillac you see in the picture has just started
out on Mission Number One: to make its first owner
and his "family members of the happiest motoring
fraternity in the world for as long as they wish.
And then it will be ready for Mission Number Two:
to do the same thing for its second owner. And so
on, in turn, for its third owner and its fourth and,
mayhap, for an almost indefinite number of others.
In fact, a Cadillac just about refuses to give up, if
it is treated fairly and driven with common sense.
Even after the body has ceased to exist, the heart of
a Cadillac often beats on.
You can see those tough old engines and chassis
everywhere. Maybe you'll see one supplying the power
for a country sawmill ... or pulling a plow ... or
serving as a truck, with an improvised body. Give it
regular, decent care and a Cadillac chassis is all
but indestructible from normal usage.
Of course, as the purchaser of a new Cadillac, you
would not expect to utilize more than a minor portion
of this ability to serve. You would look forward to
changing models from time to time, in order to enjoy
the benefits of styling and engineering advancements.
But what carefree and satisfying performance this
quality foretells, for the period during which you
would expect to keep the car! It is the world's best
guarantee of the first owner's satisfaction.
- All this, of course, is just one more solid reason for
owning a Cadillac in addition to such obvious rea
sons as beauty and luxury and pride of ownership.'
Better come in today and be then of a Cadillac s
proud and happy owners.
