This is the look of things to come in modern motor car styling. It's the 1963 Cadillac--a motor car so beautiful and so tempting it is difficult to resist.

You won't see any others with that sweeping expanse of hood and deck that gives the 1963 Cadillac its unique look of vitality and power. And its discerning use of chrome and adornment welcomes a new purity of form in automotive design. Of course, there's a great deal more than styling in this new Cadillac that is worthy of emulation. There are Cadillac's beautiful and luxurious new interiors--and Cadillac's remarkable new performance-- and Cadillac's unprecedented choice of personal appointments and accessories--and Cadillac's unrivaled dependability and value. Cadillac is now more clearly than ever before the Standard of the World. The Idling to do is to see and drive one of the twelve brilliant new models and get the whole Cadillac story for 1963.
