Manufacturer

Cadillac

Cadillac was founded in Detroit in 1902 by Henry Leland, who named the company after the city's founder, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac. General Motors acquired the brand in 1909, establishing it as its flagship luxury division. Cadillac built its early reputation on precision manufacturing, earning the Dewar Trophy in 1908 for demonstrating interchangeable standardized parts, and later introducing the electric self-starter and mass-produced V8 engines.
