Cadillac owners, you see, know that they have at least one mutual friend ... in the Cadillac car. And the chances are that if they were to meet, they would find they had a great deal more in common than just their affection for the "car of cars."

And, generally speaking, they are people of unusual practical wisdom . . . who have found in Cadillac the most economical means to the finest end in motordom. They have learned, for instance, how reasonable a new Cadillac can be insofar as original cost is concerned--actually within a few dollars of many so-called "mediumpriced" cars. They have seen for themselves how economical a Cadillac is to opera te-through the miles . . . and hoiar dependable it is through the ijionths a^yearfc'.' And they have savored that'final reward for choosing the "car of cats"--Cadillac's extraordinary resale value.
