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 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

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
