While Cadillac is a name that's synonymous with quality, luxury and award-winning customer service for most people, many people do not know the history of the Cadillac name. Interestingly, the name "Cadillac" came from the name of the founder of Detroit, Michigan, who was a French explorer in the 18th century. The first Cadillac was totally complete in 1902 but was not seen by the curious eyes of the public until the following year. Of course, the public was excited about the vehicle, and more than two thousand units were ordered that very day. From that day on, the Cadillac was known as a beautiful, stylish, reliable, and luxurious vehicle. From the very beginning the Cadillac has been synonymous with those that want the finer things in life - and Cadillacs are fine automobiles.

Cadillac is not only known because they produce beautiful, reliable cars and trucks, but also because they haven’t been afraid to leap ahead in the past and be the first to do things. One of the first things that Cadillac did that no one else had done in a mass produced car is power a vehicle with a V8 engine. Cadillac was the first car manufacturer to put some real power behind the wheel of its vehicle, and it did so in 1915 to the excitement of car lovers worldwide. The Cadillac was also the first car to have an electric start engine instead of having to be cranked, as earlier cars had been. This of course was a huge piece of history, as it changed the way we all use and view vehicles.

From post war times until the present day, the Cadillac has enjoyed being known as a vehicle that provides consumers with luxury and quality. Not only do Cadillac vehicles look good, they also provide passengers with a great ride, the driver with easy handling, and styling that is unique to Cadillac, though there are those that try to duplicate and imitate.

Of course, history wouldn’t be history without mentioning the low points for Cadillac. Cadillac had always known who its target consumer was, but in the 1980s they tried to go for entry level buyers by producing more compact vehicles, such as the Cimarron. This of course, did not go over well, because it did not fit with what people expected of Cadillac and the younger audience that they were targeting knew that they could buy other compact cars that suited their needs for less than they could buy a Cadillac. Unfortunately, the Cimarron was never really given much of a chance before consumers responded negatively and Cadillac moved on.

The Cadillac of today is much different in appearance from that first Cadillac seen in 1903, but still it has the same luxury, quality, comfort, and reliability in common. Cadillac appeals to many people today with its beautiful cars, as well as its luxury sport utility vehicles such as the Escalade. Current Cadillac vehicles sport razor-sharp lines, stacked headlights, sharp looking grilles and a standard 100,000 mile warranty. As they have in the past, Cadillac is meeting the needs of all of the consumers that are looking for luxury, comfort, quality, reliability, and even power. This has been a trend with Cadillac from the very beginning and will likely continue well into the future.

Valet or not to Valet?
This has probably been asked before, but around the upcoming holidays I thought it might be good to bring it up. With the remote keyless entry feature, how are you supposed to valet park at a restaurant if you've been shopping all day and don't want anyone to get into your trunk? You have to hand over your fob, right? I've been through the manual and no suggestions. Do I need to re-program on my DIC? My old car had a Valet Key which accessed the doors and ignition only. What are your ideas?:confused:

From the other side of the world...
What's up guys! It's been a few months since I've been on, this deployment to Afghanistan has kept me pretty busy and haven't had much access to the internet until now. 3 months down, 9 to go... Let's just say I'm glad I don't live here and can't wait to get back! Hope everyone is doing well and I'll try to get on occassionally when I have the time. :gun2:
passenger side heat, drivers side no heat
I just spent the last 30 minutes or so looking for information on heaters. Seems there's a lot of issues but none I could find like what I have at the moment. I have plenty of passenger side heat but all cold air on the drivers side. I'm reading about acuators and such and I'm guessing they're under the dash someplace. Is there anything under the hood I can check for first? as always, thanks... :thumbsup:
Distributor Wiring Harness Compatability?
If anyone remembers my Distributor help thread, well the whole distributor is being replaced and I need a new wiring harness that fits into the distributor because the old one got chewed up. Would the wiring harness from a 91 4.9 distributor fit into the new distributor for a 90 4.5? I am having trouble finding this piece at the junkyards. I could only find a 91 4.9 and they look identical. My mechanic says no go. But I figure id ask. Thanks for any help.
Question About CTS Purchase...Please Help!
I'm about to buy an 06 CTS from a dealer. I put a $150 deposit down already. The car has 29000 miles on it. I did a carfax and it looks pretty clean. The only thing I'm concerned with is that the last odometer reading on the carfax is 100 miles. There are no other service descriptions or anything, just 100miles and where the vehicle was registered as a Lease vehicle to it's only 1 owner. Should I be concerned about all this? Is it bad to buy a lease 3 years old with 1 owner? Is there any type of Rev limiter or Governor on this vehicle I should ask the dealer to remove because it is a lease? Is there anyway to track down the previous owner and ask them some questions? Secondly, These CTS V body kit part numbers that I see on this website, are they the real CTS V parts? I know they are not OEM but what I mean is, is it the exact same styling? Thanks, any help would be great, I'm about to go to the dealer soon.
