“The Penalty of Leadership”
first appeared in the January 2, 1915
issueof The Saturday EveningPost
as an expression of the Cadillac com-
mitment to leadership, quality, .and
innovation. It is widely regarded as
one of thefinestdocuments ever
written and was published following
the introduction of the first produc-
tion V8 engine.’The V8 was stan-
dard in all 1915 model Cadillacs.
Many Cadillac“firsts”havefol-
lowed over the years, including the
synchro-mech clashless transmis-
sion, a nation-wide comprehensive
service policy, security plate glass,
chrome plating and the first carto
be designed by a stylist (1927 La-
Salle/HarleyEarl). The ’30s wit-
nessed production of the smoothand
quiet V12 and ’-*
The crisp, contemporary linesof the
1938 60 Specialseriesusheredin a
new era in styling.
During World War 11, shortly
after Pearl Harbor, Cadillac discon-
tinued car production for the first
time since 1902 in order to construct
lighttanks,combat vehicles and
internal parts forAllison V1710 en-
gines. Two CadillacV8engines and
Hydra-Matictransmissions were
used in each tank.
