In the 60's, my uncle own a new Cadillac every year. He'd trade them every in October want the next year models came out. He'd claimed that he didn't have any maintenance or state inspection. So he said that it wasn't that expensive. In those days Cadillac had good resale value.
Dig those crazy same-age pop-art curtain at the beginning!!! Had a handfull of Cadillacs from '58-'65. Though elements of the '57 design were great, '57s were the only year I thought looked the least cohesive.
Our 1974 is the last truly well-built Cadillac we have. It outlived every other one we bought later and still runs smoothly. And, everyone knows how much quality suffered in that era...our later Cadillacs were all so poorly built, we just gave up. Don'y get me started on the Northstars..... Today, they're just poorly made Chevy Suburbans at exorbitant prices.
Interesting historical film strip with narration
That guy is an incredibly talented ventriloquist!

This America is long gone now.
What went wrong?
The competition has arrived.
Bill of Curious Cars pronounces it "Cadimack". 😆
I have had an 84, an 87 and a 09 Cadillac. They get worse every year. And I know the 80s were not a high point in GM quality.
The 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham was the last model made at the Detroit Cadillac Plant. After that, they were made at the Arlington, Texas Plant.

Back when Cadillac made real luxury cars, not gussied up Chevy trucks!!
In drag!
