Cadillac cars were for several decades the symbol of social success and quality for car owners in Canada. The name was adopted when depicting an object of quality both in French and English. Cadillac's were manufactured at the Oshawa plant starting in 1923. It was discontinued in 1936 with the tariffs changes. Before and after these dates, they were imported. Their production in Canada returned much later.
Function
Owner driven passenger vehicle for general transportation.
Technical
Longest running American personal luxury vehicle sold from 1953 to 2002. The Eldorado was a popular car. In 1967, it introduced the front-wheel drive which was still a novelty in North America. The 1968 Eldorado style and engineering were much the same as the 1967 except it had a new 472-cid V8 engine with 35 more HP than the 429-cid. This was designed for better emissions control in the first year of Federal smog standards. It also complied with the new 1968 safety standards, featuring round side marker lights, thicker dash padding, and non-injury internal hardware. The wipers are hidden,
