The title, the keys and the car are his-and he's starting out on his first journey at the wheel. ' Of course, there's not much doubt as to why he decided to purchase a new Cadillac. Like everyone else who selects the "car of cars", he did it to "keep current", so to apeak on aU of Cadillac's new miracles of performance and beauty and comfort. But coming to Cadillac, as he did, at this par ticular' time of the year, we also suspect that he was inspired by the added motive of practicality. For in addition to the normal Cadillac economies of modest purchase price, low operating cost and ! i t. lrjiriniae dealers are. at this Illgll rCMlB o.iw - - time, seasonally prepared to make Cadillac owaei ship even more attractive than ever. Because of the demand for used cars and because of increased production of the Cadillac car itself, the odds are that this gentleman received both a generous allowance on his previ ous car and prompt delivery of his new Cadillac Have you considered how wonderful it would be to step into a Cadillac of your own? Then, you should pay your dealer a visit-spend an hour on the highway in the luxury of Fleetwood coach-crafting-and get the facts for yourself.
