(N
Seldom is the yearly introduction of any motor car greeted<br />
with such enthusiastic welcome as that habitually accorded<br />
the introduction of a new <strong>Cadillac</strong>. This is a tribute to the<br />
basic quality of a <strong>Cadillac</strong>, and to the constant and genuine<br />
efforts to improve it.<br />
When a motor car manufacturer attempts to capitalize<br />
unduly on a minor style trend or unimportant feature, it<br />
may, for the moment, capture the public's fancy. For a short<br />
while, sales are stimulated . . . much boasting and quoting<br />
of sales records is heard . . . there is talk of overtaking the<br />
leader. And then suddenly, buyer interest dwindles, sales<br />
drop off and the car again takes its rightful place in the sales<br />
standings. Time and again it has been proved that success<br />
does not endure through these random attempts to excite<br />
the motoring public.<br />
In this headlong rush to break sales records by winning<br />
temporary acclaim, <strong>Cadillac</strong> alone, of all motor cars, has<br />
remained aloof. Many years ago, <strong>Cadillac</strong> set its sights on<br />
a single goal—to be the standard of the world. It is this<br />
standard that promises and rewards <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners with<br />
the finest possible design, materials and craftsmanship. It is<br />
because of this standard that the <strong>Cadillac</strong> motor car enjoys<br />
a demand and prestige unprecedented in motor car history.<br />
For truly, never before has a motor car been longed for by<br />
so many. Once again it proves that there is no real or lasting<br />
substitute for quality.<br />
The <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong>, like all others before it, offers refreshing<br />
new style and mechanical advancements that will be copied<br />
in years to come. But above and beyond this, <strong>Cadillac</strong> offers<br />
superior quality—that all-important ingredient that so many<br />
of our competitors have, in their haste to succeed, overlooked.
This book tells the story of the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong>.<br />
You will discover many improvements in the Data Book this<br />
year. Much has been done to make it an easier, quicker<br />

AS ALWAYS-THE STANDARD OF THE WORLD<br />
<strong>1954</strong> CAIUM^LC<br />
Styling<br />
In the new <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> motor cars, every styling detail,<br />
from the new, gracefully contoured front bumper, bumper<br />
guards and new grille to the new circular exhaust ports in<br />
the rear bumper, has been designed to make them the most<br />
beautiful motoring creations ever to bear the distinguished<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> name. The <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars are longer and lower.<br />
They have a longer wheelbase and a wider front tread. The<br />
new panoramic windshield with vertical corner pillars and<br />
vertical front vent wings lends a striking continental air,<br />
and at the same time, vastly increases visibilitv. New, and<br />
almost certain to be copied, are the two-inch windshield<br />
visors on Sedans and the new overhanging reveal moldings<br />
across the top of each door on all models. The new lower<br />
hood features a newly designed hood ornament, a new "V"<br />
and crest. Fenders, front and rear, are styled with new,<br />
straighter, swifter lines. The rear fender tail-light fins break<br />
upward more sharply, accentuating this famous <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
style note. Smart in appearance, and functional as well, is<br />
the new cowl air intake extending across the top of the hood<br />
at the base of the windshield. These are but a few of the<br />
many styling features illustrated in this section of your<br />
Data Book. They are features that lend new distinction to<br />
the magnificent new <strong>Cadillac</strong> for <strong>1954</strong> . . . a car that is<br />
destined to set the pace in automotive styling for many<br />
years to come.
COMPLETELY NEW FRONT END DESIGN<br />
The new, front end design of the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> tends to keep<br />
eye interest low, and thus suggests the exceptional, roadhugging<br />
stability which the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> so ably provides.<br />
The hood itself is more than an inch lower. The new cellulardesign<br />
grille features many horizontal lines which enhance<br />
the apparent width of the car. Note, too, that even the top<br />
bar of the grille is in a line which, if extended, would pass<br />
beneath the headlights. Further contributing to the distinctive<br />
front end styling of the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> is a newly<br />
designed, chrome-goddess hood ornament, new "V", new<br />
crest, larger parking lights and directional signals, located<br />
within the framework of the grille, and "gull-wing" front<br />
bumper with integral, massive, chromed bumper guards.
Lower hood line enhances lower over-all look<br />
of the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong>.<br />
New, slim line styling ot famous <strong>Cadillac</strong> "V"<br />
and crest harmonizes with finer spacing of<br />
grille openings.<br />
Smart "Cadet Visor" headlight<br />
bezels direct beam<br />
downward and protect lenses<br />
from snow, dirt and bugs.<br />
New, larger parking and directional signal<br />
lights are circled by massive, chromed frames.<br />
10
NEW COWL AIR INTAKE<br />
One of the most distinctive, as well as most functional,<br />
features of the beautiful <strong>Cadillac</strong> for <strong>1954</strong> is the new hoodwidth<br />
cowl air intake. In conjunction with the new<br />
panoramic windshield, the wide design of the cowl air intake<br />
adds to the apparent width of the car. At the same time, it<br />
is an ideally located source of fresh, clean air for ventilation,<br />
or for heating and defrosting in cars equipped with the<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Heater. The entrance of road dust or exhaust<br />
fumes into the ventilation system, an annoyance sometimes<br />
associated with underhood air inlets, is virtually eliminated<br />
with the new cowl air intake. A series of baffles prevents the<br />
entrance of rain water by trapping the water and permitting<br />
it to drain through a tube to the ground.<br />
NEW WINDSHIELD VISOR<br />
The new <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> sedan models have a visor-like,<br />
two-inch roof overhang extending across the entire windshield.<br />
It accentuates the low roof line of the car and the<br />
sweeping width of the new panoramic windshield. It prevents<br />
the accumulation of snow or ice across that part of the<br />
windshield farthest from the defrosters, and protects against<br />
excessive glare from sun and sky.
NEWLY STYLED WHEEL DISCS<br />
New <strong>Cadillac</strong> wheel discs for <strong>1954</strong> are standard equipment<br />
at no extra cost. They are distinguished by a concave outer<br />
circle and a raised, flat-surfaced hub which proudly displays<br />
the famous <strong>Cadillac</strong> crest. Their gleaming chromed finish<br />
enhances the beauty of the car and keeps eye interest low.<br />
CADILLAC SCRIPT<br />
Symbolic of the high peaks of excellence achieved by the<br />
<strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> is the distinctive <strong>Cadillac</strong> nameplate used on<br />
each front fender. Its chromed, block-lettered script is in<br />
keeping with the beauty and prestige of the car itself.
NEW CONTINENTAL-TYPE VENTI-PANES<br />
One of the leading new style changes in the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong>,<br />
and one that is almost certain to be copied in the years<br />
ahead, is the new rectangular design of the chrome-framed<br />
vent wings. In conjunction with the vertical pillar posts,<br />
this type of construction provides exceptionally strong roof<br />
support. The newly designed vent wings, not only provide<br />
exactly the amount of draft-free ventilation desired, but<br />
contribute to the eye-catching beauty of the car as well.<br />
NEW DOOR REVEAL MOLDINGS<br />
Another <strong>Cadillac</strong> style rr first" is the new upper door reveal<br />
moldings which extend outward above the windows. This<br />
permits door windows to be opened slightly during rainy<br />
weather to give ventilation and to prevent window fogging.
NEWLY STYLED, INTEGRAL REAR FENDERS<br />
A style note that contributes greatly to the long, low, flowing<br />
lines of the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> is the new, longer, straighter<br />
rear fenders. They combine with the low, wide rear deck to<br />
give the entire rear end ensemble an appearance of swift,<br />
sweeping grace. However, in addition to contributing a<br />
sense of motion and new beauty to the appearance of the<br />
<strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong>, the new fenders are now welded, integrally,<br />
with the rear quarter panels. As a result, the entire rear end<br />
structure is now a single rigid, rugged and rattle-free unit.<br />
This new rear fender design and construction, which blends<br />
greater beauty with increased safety and quietness, is<br />
typical of the inspired styling and sound engineering that<br />
make the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> the finest luxury car in America.<br />
14
NEW REAR STYLING DETAILS<br />
Viewed from the rear, the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> presents many<br />
pleasing new style details. The famous rear fender tail-light<br />
fins are smarter than ever with a new, more abrupt upsweep<br />
from the fenders and a new, modish, squared-off design. The<br />
equally famous <strong>Cadillac</strong> twin tailpipe outlets in the rear<br />
bumper continue to remind of the Dual Exhaust system<br />
and its contribution to the tremendous power of the great<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> engine. However, they, too, have been given the<br />
fresh beauty of a new circular design. New bumper guards<br />
present pleasing style harmony with the vertical bumper<br />
extensions at the lower edge of each rear fender. New<br />
license plate lights, now located on the inside of each<br />
bumper guard, are better protected from dust, snow and ice.

<strong>1954</strong> CADILLAC<br />
ELDORADO<br />
SPECIAL CONVERTIBLE<br />
In the Eldorado Special Convertible, <strong>Cadillac</strong> stylists have created<br />
a convertible body style that leaves nothing to be desired in beauty<br />
of trim and appointments, magnificent performance and handling<br />
ease, and the convenience that comes with power-assisted steering,<br />
braking, seat adjustments and window lifts. The rubber-lined Orion<br />
top is also raised or lowered without manual effort. Clean lines of the<br />
Eldorado are maintained by a three-piece plastic cover which completely<br />
conceals the top when it is in the "down" position. Cover is<br />
stowed out of sight behind the rear seat when not in use. The fabulously<br />
beautiful leather-upholstered interiors of the Eldorado are<br />
described in the INTERIOR section of the Data Book on pages 52-55.<br />

AS ALWAYS-THE STANDARD OF THE WORLD<br />
<strong>1954</strong> CADILLAC<br />
Interiors<br />
The all-new styling and gorgeous exterior colors of <strong>1954</strong><br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> motor cars are matched by magnificently appointed<br />
interiors that literally leave nothing to be desired in spaciousness,<br />
luxury and comfort. In fact, never before has<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> offered interiors of such inspiring beauty and<br />
splendor. New, more glamorous upholstery fabrics and<br />
patterns include all-wool gabardine in solid colors; patterned<br />
nylon; patterned tapestry; all-wool, plain colored broadcloth;<br />
Bedford cord; and genuine natural and metallic<br />
leathers in single, as well as many two-tone combinations.<br />
Some <strong>Cadillac</strong> models offer as many as twelve upholstery<br />
choices . . . each distinctively different, and yet sharing a<br />
single standard of quality, character and beauty. Comfort<br />
is assured by front and rear seat cushions and seat backs<br />
that provide greater hip room and shoulder room than ever<br />
before. Seats and seat backs are fashioned in stylish biscuits<br />
with deeply recessed buttons or with smart piping. Both<br />
have contrasting bolsters offering pleasing color harmony.<br />
Carpeting of luxurious, deep, rich-textured wool pile, looped<br />
Frieze, Rox Point or Kinkomo offers a warm invitation to<br />
step into the elegant <strong>Cadillac</strong> interiors.

The front compartment of the Series 62 Sedan is designed<br />
to provide maximum riding comfort and driving convenience<br />
combined with beauty and luxury matched by no other fine<br />
car. Seat cushion and seat back inserts of light-tone all-wool<br />
gabardine or patterned nylon are styled with heavily padded<br />
biscuits and deeply recessed buttons. Bolsters and seat<br />
cushion sides are of smooth surfaced, dark-toned all-wool<br />
gabardine for pleasing contrast of color and style. Foam<br />
rubber in the seat cushions gives luxurious, easy-chair comfort,<br />
while the front seat height of almost 15 inches enables<br />

Divan-height rear seats, luxuriously tailored of all-wool<br />
gabardine or all-wool gabardine and patterned nylon, provide<br />
even greater hip room and shoulder room in <strong>1954</strong>. Leg<br />
room, too, has been increased. Thick, wool pile floor carpeting,<br />
two side armrests and a wide, deeply cushioned center<br />
armrest add further to the living-room comfort enjoyed by<br />
rear-seat passengers. New beauty is provided by carrying<br />
the two-tone colors and tufted upholstery styling of the seat<br />
cushion and seat backs into the rear door panels. Leathergrained<br />
vinyl lends smartness and durability to door armrests<br />
and seat scuff pad. The convenient robe cord which<br />
extends across the rear of front seat back is covered in<br />
simulated leather. Framed in gleaming chrome, just above<br />
the robe cord, is a raised <strong>Cadillac</strong> "V" in gold against a<br />
background of brushed chrome.<br />

AS ALWAYS-THE STANDARD OF THE WORLD<br />
THE CADILLAC SERIES V f M COUPE<br />
The interior of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Series 62 Coupe for <strong>1954</strong> is<br />
superbly tailored and beautifully appointed. Seats and seat<br />
backs, offering even greater hip room and shoulder room,<br />
are fashioned with inserts of deeply tufted biscuits and<br />
recessed buttons. This styling is continued across the lower<br />
door panels and on the rear of the front seat backs. Pleasing<br />
color harmony is provided by the smooth, dark-toned seat<br />
bolsters and sides and the center door panel. Six different<br />
color and fabric combinations, described on the opposite<br />
page, give the owner wide latitude in selecting exactly the<br />
interior to meet his preference. Ease of entrance to the rear<br />
compartment is provided by the split front seat back and by<br />
the pivot mounting of the front seat itself. Ample seat height,<br />
nearly 15 inches, combined with the new panoramic windshield<br />
assures exceptional visibility for maximum safety and<br />
greater motoring enjoyment. Careful attention to every<br />
styling detail is evident in the functional beauty of the<br />
instrument panel. Control knobs and levers of bright and<br />
brushed chrome are placed for maximum convenience. An<br />
insert panel of gleaming chromed horizontal lines relieved<br />
by satin-black grooves forms a jewel-like setting for radio<br />
dial and electric clock. The top and extended edge of the<br />
instrument panel are covered with glare-resistant Elascofab,<br />
a beautiful leather-like vinyl material.

New, more beautiful door panel styling offers a fitting introduction<br />
and a warm invitation to the elegant interiors of the<br />
Series 62 Coupe. Light-toned upper and lower sections of<br />
the door panel provide pleasing contrast with the dark-toned<br />
center section with its vinyl-topped, built-in armrest and<br />
door pull. A narrow, stainless steel molding extends nearly<br />
across the door panel before gracefully curving down to meet<br />
the wide stainless steel kick-pad molding. Grille openings in<br />
this lower molding provide heater outlets for the rear compartment.<br />
Highlighting the new door panel styling is a new<br />
door and window control panel insert of alternating chromed<br />
and satin-black horizontal lines.
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> Series 62 Coupe provides greater comfort and<br />
luxury than ever before. In every important interior dimension,<br />
shoulder room, hip room, head room and leg room,<br />
rear-compartment passengers will find new spaciousness. A<br />
wide, center armrest folds forward from the seat back for<br />
added comfort and convenience. Seat cushion, seat back<br />
inserts and lower sidewalls are fashioned in light-toned<br />
fabrics with heavily padded biscuits and deeply recessed<br />
buttons. Seat cushion bolsters and the upper section of the<br />
sidewalls are in color-harmonizing dark tones. Carpeting of<br />
thick wool pile; vinyl seat welts and side armrests and<br />
simulated leather on robe cords and seat kick-pad combine<br />
smart, textured beauty with durability. Moldings of gleaming<br />
stainless steel and brushed and bright chromed hardware<br />
complete the elegance of decor that distinguishes the<br />
Series 62 Coupe.<br />

THE CADILLAC SERIES \ F ^ COUPE DE VILLE<br />
Always one of the most lavishly appointed models in the<br />
entire <strong>Cadillac</strong> line, the Coupe de Ville in <strong>1954</strong> offers an<br />
enchanting interior decor that is as enduring as it is beautiful.<br />
The elegantly upholstered interiors offer a choice of V-Crest<br />
patterned nylon seat cushion and seat back inserts in light<br />
tones of gray, green or blue combined with dark-toned<br />
bolsters of genuine metallic leathers. Another exquisitely<br />
beautiful choice combines seat and seat back inserts of<br />
gray and silver metallic floral pattern tapestry with white<br />
leather bolsters. Enhancing the smart color contrast of the<br />
Coupe de Ville interior is the dark-tone, thick wool pile<br />
carpet on the floor and on the heel board across the bottom<br />
of the rear seat. Full comfort for rear-seat passengers is<br />
assured by even greater hip room, shoulder room and leg<br />
room, plus the armchair comfort provided by the wide,<br />
heavily cushioned center armrest and two convenient side<br />
armrests. Lower side walls are fashioned in the same smart<br />
piping as the seat cushion and seat back inserts. Genuine<br />
leather on side armrests and on the two convenient robe<br />
cords lends rich, durable beauty, while stainless steel moldings<br />
and bright and brushed chrome hardware add their<br />
highlights to the luxurious interior of the Coupe de Ville.

The front compartment of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Series 62 Coupe de<br />
Ville provides every comfort and convenience to make<br />
driving safe, effortless, enjoyable. Here, for example, are<br />
electric window lifts that permit the driver to raise or lower<br />
any or all windows in the car with the touch of a finger to<br />
the convenient controls on the door panel. Seat adjustment,<br />
too, forward or back, is automatic at the touch of a control<br />
button on the front of the seat. Comfort and safety are provided<br />
by foam-rubber-cushioned seats. The front seat, nearly<br />
15 inches high, enables the driver to take full advantage of<br />
the tremendous visibility of the panoramic windshield.<br />
Additional safety and new beauty are provided by the glareproof,<br />
padded Elascofab cover across the top and around<br />
the extended edge of the instrument panel. The instrument<br />
panel itself combines new convenience of all control knobs<br />
and levers with new, smarter styling. A new panel insert of<br />
chromed horizontal lines with satin-black grooves provides<br />
a jewel-like background for radio controls and electric clock.
Door panel styling of the Coupe de Ville is distinctively new<br />
and different in <strong>1954</strong>. Heavily padded, two-inch risers extend<br />
vertically from the gleaming stainless steel bottom molding<br />
to the rich, genuine leather V-shaped center molding. Just<br />
above the V-molding is a leather covered built-in armrest<br />
and door pull. The upper portion of the door panels above<br />
the armrests is painted in light tones to contrast with darktoned<br />
leather trim or in black where white leather trim has<br />
been selected. A further distinguishing note for <strong>1954</strong> is the<br />
satin-black and chromed lines of the door panel insert which<br />
frames the bright and brushed chromed window and door controls.<br />
The door panel insert and the door risers continue into<br />
the instrument panel and cowl adding to the pleasing unity<br />
of style that is evident throughout the <strong>1954</strong> Coupe de Ville.<br />

THE CADILLAC SERIES<br />
CONVERTIBLE<br />
The buoyant, zestful way of life that is so much a part of<br />
those who prefer the thrill of open-air motoring is truly<br />
reflected in the gay, colorful, durable interiors of the beautiful<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Series 62 Convertible. Here are interiors richly<br />
upholstered in genuine leathers whose beauty seems to<br />
increase with the years. And here are color choices from solid<br />
Red, Black or Natural to ultra-smart two-tones of Light Blue<br />
or Green Metallic Leathers for seat cushion and seat back<br />
inserts with White Leather bolsters and trim, or Dark Blue<br />
and Green Metallic Leathers with Light Blue and Green<br />
Metallic Leathers for bolsters and trim. Door panels and<br />
side walls, too, are finished in durable and beautiful leathers<br />
in dark-toned color below the distinctive V-shaped door<br />
panel molding and in light-toned colors above. Bright and<br />
brushed chrome hardware and gleaming stainless steel door<br />
moldings add sparkling highlights of enduring beauty. A new<br />
door panel insert with satin-black grooves between raised<br />
chromed lines frames the door handle and the automatic<br />
window controls which enable the driver to raise or lower<br />
any or all windows at a touch of his finger. Built-in leathercovered<br />

From any angle the interiors of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Series 62 Convertible<br />
Coupe present an exceptionally trim, tailored beauty.<br />
Leather-upholstered seat cushion and seat back inserts,<br />
lower door panels and side walls are fashioned in full two-inch<br />
pipes in smart contrast to the smooth leathers of bolsters,<br />
seat cushion sides, upper side walls and door panels. Genuine<br />
leather welts and French seams are typical of the attention to<br />
styling details that is found in the Convertible interior.<br />
The front seat provides even greater roominess in <strong>1954</strong> with<br />
more hip room and over three inches more shoulder room.<br />
The instrument panel offers new beauty and convenience<br />
and the safety of a new glare-proof, padded Elascofab covering<br />
across the top and over the extended edge. Instruments<br />
and control knobs and levers are all grouped directly ahead<br />
of the driver. Radio and electric clock are framed in the new<br />
satin-black and chromed insert at the right.
Rear-compartment passengers enjoy the increased comfort<br />
of more shoulder room, hip room and leg room in the <strong>1954</strong><br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Series 62 Convertible. Here, too, is the luxury of<br />
completely leather-upholstered seats, seat backs and side<br />
walls in solid colors or in elegant two-tones. Dark-toned<br />
carpeting of luxurious, deep wool pile covers the entire floor<br />
and heel pad and protects the lower portion of the front seat<br />
back. Chromed ash trays located in the rear seat armrests<br />
and two leather-covered robe cords on the rear of the front<br />
seat back add to convenience. The ash receivers incorporate<br />
the chromed control buttons which permit raising or lowering<br />
rear windows at the touch of a finger. When the Convertible<br />
top is folded down, it is concealed behind the rear<br />
seat back beneath a beautifully tailored snap-on cover in<br />
colors of blue, black, tan or green to match the top color.<br />

AS ALWAYS-THE STANDARD OF THE WORLD<br />
THE CADILLAC ELDORADO<br />
SPECIAL CONVERTIBLE<br />
The interiors of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Eldorado are as distinctive as<br />
might be expected of a car whose ultra-smart exterior beauty<br />
and completeness of equipment are unmatched by any other<br />
fine car. Precisely tailored of genuine leathers, the seat<br />
cushions and seat backs feature such details of the leatherworker's<br />
art as French seams, raised leather welts, saddlestitched<br />
piping and embossed **V" and crown insignia. The<br />
front compartment provides breath-taking beauty combined<br />
with every convenience to make driving the Eldorado an<br />
effortless pleasure. Of course, steering, braking, seat adjustment,<br />
raising or lowering the windows or the sleek Orion<br />
top are all power assisted. The instrument panel, across the<br />
top and around the extended edge, is covered with finegrained<br />
Elascofab. It is padded, glare-proof and finished<br />
along the edge with a smart French seam. All instrument<br />
panel control knobs and, in fact, all hardware are finished in<br />
bright or brushed chrome. In the center of the panel an<br />
emblem bears the proud name Eldorado in 18-carat gold<br />
against a brushed chrome background. The lower portion of<br />
the instrument panel is finished in blue and silver diamond<br />
patterned Dinoc. New dual sun visors offer the beauty of<br />
translucent, smoke-gray color plastic panels in bright<br />
chromed frames.

With all of their richly tailored beauty and gorgeous coloring,<br />
(see previous page) the foam-rubber-cushioned seats in the<br />
Eldorado offer even greater comfort and roominess. In fact,<br />
there is up to two inches more hip room, shoulder room and<br />
leg room in the rear compartment alone. Smartly modern<br />
are the contrasting color tones and plain and patterned<br />
finishes used throughout the <strong>1954</strong> Eldorado. Seat cushion<br />
and seat back inserts, for example, are fashioned with %-inch<br />
pipes in light tones in contrast to the smooth finish of darktoned<br />
bolsters and seat cushion sides. Rear compartment<br />
side walls, too, combine a lower panel of %-inch risers with<br />
an upper panel of smooth finish leather around the top operating<br />
mechanism and a panel of diamond patterned Dinoc<br />
just above the armrests. The floor, heel pad and lower<br />
portion of the rear of the front seat back are covered in<br />
luxurious Rox Point carpeting in dark tones.
Door panel styling in the Eldorado is distinctively new and<br />
decidedly beautiful. Above the wide stainless steel bottom<br />
molding is a panel of %-inch horizontal risers of light-toned<br />
leather inset with a gracefully tapered panel of smooth finish<br />
dark-tone leather. The upper portion of the door panel is<br />
finished in diamond patterned Dinoc in blue and silver with<br />
a door and window control insert panel of satin-black grooves<br />
between raised chromed lines. Convenient armrests, extending<br />
smoothly out from the door panels, are finished with a<br />
smart French seam along their outer edge. The entire door<br />
panel treatment is continued into the cowl sides and into<br />
and across the instrument panel giving unity and beauty<br />
throughout the front compartment. Bright chromed frames<br />
around the windows and windshield add their glittering highlights<br />
to the fabulous beauty of the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> Eldorado.<br />

In the front compartment the driver and passengers will find<br />
themselves surrounded with features of beauty, comfort and<br />
convenience, new even to those well acquainted with the<br />
incomparable luxury of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Series 60 Special. First,<br />
they will be aware of increased hip room and shoulder room.<br />
They will note, too, that the height of the foam-rubbercushioned<br />
front seat, nearly 15 inches, is just right for comfort<br />
and to enable them to enjoy the tremendous visibility<br />
provided by the new panoramic windshield. And a glance at<br />
the instrument panel brings attention to its new glare-proof,<br />
padded Elascofab covering which extends not only across<br />
the top but around the edge as well. New, too, is the elegant<br />
instrument panel insert of glossy satin-black grooves<br />
between gleaming chromed horizontal lines. Framed in this<br />
panel are the radio controls and electric clock. All instruments<br />
and instrument panel control knobs and levers are<br />
conveniently located directly ahead of the driver. <strong>Center</strong>ed<br />
on the instrument panel against a background of brushed<br />
chrome is the name Fleetwood in gold script.
Supreme luxury and comfort have long been a part of the<br />
full motoring enjoyment provided by the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Series 60<br />
Special. In the rear compartment, for example, passengers<br />
enjoy the relaxing comfort provided by a divan-height, foamrubber-padded<br />
seat cushion which boasts over sixty-five<br />
inches of hip room. Adding to this armchair comfort is a<br />
wide, heavily padded center armrest and two wide door<br />
armrests. The entire floor is covered with deep carpeting of<br />
looped Frieze in rich, dark tones. The elegant tailoring<br />
throughout the 60 Special is emphasized by the seam welts<br />
of dark-toned genuine leather or fine-grained Elascofab.<br />
Final contributions to passenger convenience are the automatic<br />
window lift controls on each rear door panel, bright<br />
chromed ash receivers in each door armrest and a leathercovered<br />
robe cord across the rear of the front seat back.<br />

THE CADILLAC SERIES<br />
8-PASSENGER SEDAN<br />
The distinguished beauty of the magnificent Series 75 is<br />
carried with luxurious taste into its elegant and spacious interiors.<br />
The tufted seat cushions and seat backs are fashioned<br />
with the style and beauty of heavily padded biscuits and<br />
deeply recessed buttons. Six luxurious upholstery choices<br />
include Bedford cord or broadcloth in either of three fashionable<br />
light-tone colors. The interiors of this great car are<br />
appropriate for the most formal occasion, yet provide the<br />
comfort that makes cross-continent travel an enjoyable and<br />
revealing experience. The front seat of the 8-passenger sedan<br />
is truly high, wide and handsome. It enables the driver to<br />
ride in fullest comfort, yet in a position to obtain the greatest<br />
benefit from the new panoramic windshield with its tremendous<br />
wide range visibility. Protection from glare is provided<br />
by the beautiful, fine-grained, padded Elascofab covering<br />
over and around the extended edge of the instrument panel.<br />
The instrument panel itself is a masterpiece of functional<br />
beauty. Controls and instrument cluster are all grouped<br />
directly ahead of the driver. Radio controls and electric<br />
clock are framed in a richly distinctive insert panel of glossy<br />
satin-black grooves between lines of gleaming chrome.

One reason for the tremendous popularity of the <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
Series 75 among large families and for company executive<br />
use is well illustrated in the rear compartment view above.<br />
Here a group of five can ride in uncrowded comfort with<br />
room for three more in the front compartment. The finished<br />
tailoring and deep cushioning of the two auxiliary seats<br />
match the rest of the interior in style and comfort. The<br />
conveniences that mean so much to the world's most discriminating<br />
clientele are present in the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Series 75 in<br />
full measure. Here are wide, heavily padded side armrests<br />
which may be lifted to reveal convenient package compartments.<br />
And just forward on the armrests are two automatic<br />
window control buttons which permit raising or lowering<br />
either rear door window at a finger's touch. Here, too, are<br />
chromed ash receivers and cigarette lighters, a large dome<br />
light and two additional lights located on the rear quarter<br />
panels at each side of the rear seat back.
The rear of the front seat back is a masterpiece of tailoring<br />
excellence with highlights of jewel-like beauty. Auxiliary<br />
seats fold flush into the seat back. A panel of ostrich-grained<br />
vinyl extends across the top portion and around into the<br />
door panels. Midway in the seat back is a beautifully<br />
chromed electric clock bearing the exclusive <strong>Cadillac</strong> crest.<br />
Door panels, too, each bear a chromed <strong>Cadillac</strong> crest<br />
symbolic of <strong>Cadillac</strong> quality craftsmanship. Assist handles<br />
and robe cord combine gleaming chrome with the rich beauty<br />
of genuine leather in dark tones. Two footrests, adjustable<br />
to two positions, are covered with luxurious, light-toned<br />
Kinkomo carpeting, as is the entire floor and the rear seat<br />
heel pad. Stainless steel moldings and chromed hardware<br />
throughout contribute to the elegance of the Series 75<br />
interior decor.<br />

AS ALWAYS-THE STANDARD OF THE WORLD<br />
THE CADILLAC SERIES A • f LIMOUSINE<br />
As in the beautiful Series 75 8-passenger Sedan, the Limousine<br />
provides every luxury, comfort and convenience for relaxing<br />
motor car travel. In fact, the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Series 75 Imperial<br />
Limousine is the most luxurious chauffeur-driven car in<br />
America. The rear compartment is identical in upholstery,<br />
appointments and trim to the 8-passenger sedan described<br />
on the previous pages. The front compartment, however, is<br />
separated from the rear by a glass-dividing partition which<br />
may be raised or lowered electrically by automatic control<br />
buttons located on the rear seat armrests. Front compartment<br />
upholstery and trim are of durable and beautiful<br />
leathers in black with gray or tan rear compartment upholstery,<br />
and in blue with blue rear compartment upholstery.<br />
Seat cushions and seat backs are fashioned of 3-inch pipes<br />
and finished in dark-toned leather welts. New T for <strong>1954</strong> is<br />
the electric automatic front seat adjustment operated by a<br />
control button located on the front of the seat cushion support<br />
just behind the driver's feet. Floor covering in the<br />
Limousine is luxurious Kinkomo in the rear compartment<br />
and deep, long-wearing wool pile in the front. The instrument<br />
panel provides the same features of beauty, safety and<br />
convenience as described for the 8-passenger sedan.

AS ALWAYS-THE STANDARD OF THE WORLD<br />
<strong>1954</strong> CL4LDILJLA.C<br />
Just as the <strong>Cadillac</strong> body is designed to provide lasting<br />
style and beauty . . . so is it engineered and built to provide<br />
comfort, quiet and safety throughout the life of the car.<br />
These benefits provided by <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s advanced body construction<br />
methods mean a great deal to the peace of mind<br />
and motoring enjoyment of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> owner. At the same<br />
time, the enduring quality of <strong>Cadillac</strong> body construction is<br />
a contributing factor to the continued strong demand for<br />
used <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars . . . a demand that assures not only the<br />
original owner but each subsequent owner maximum protection<br />
for his investment.<br />
Again, in <strong>1954</strong>, the <strong>Cadillac</strong> body presents the proven features<br />
of construction that have contributed so much to its<br />
reputation as the Standard of the World. In addition, there<br />
are many new features that assure the owner of a <strong>1954</strong><br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> even more comfort and quietness . . . even greater<br />
safety . . . than ever before.<br />
The new, one-piece, panoramic windshield and the new<br />
vertical corner pillars, for example, provide greatly increased<br />
visibility. As a result, the driver can be more relaxed and at<br />
ease. Greater safety is provided, too, by new side-welded<br />
body construction and by the welding of rear quarter panels<br />
and rear fenders into a single, extra-strong and rigid unit.
New comfort features, in addition to roomier interiors,<br />
include a new cowl air intake to provide an increased volume<br />
of air for better ventilation; new zigzag spring construction<br />
throughout front and rear seat backs and cushions on all<br />
Series 60 and Series 62 models; and improved body sealing<br />
to keep out noise, dirt, rain and drafts.<br />
All <strong>Cadillac</strong> bodies are built by Fisher Body Division of<br />
General Motors Corporation in the exclusive <strong>Cadillac</strong>-<br />
Fleetwood plant under strict and exclusive <strong>Cadillac</strong> quality<br />
control methods. They are the product of the combined<br />
skills of <strong>Cadillac</strong> engineers and stylists working with General<br />
Motors and Fisher Body designers with one purpose in mind<br />
—to design and engineer the finest, safest, most comfortable<br />
automobile bodies it is possible to build for America's leading<br />
luxury car, the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong>.<br />

The safety and protection of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> driver and his<br />
passengers is evidenced in every detail of construction in the<br />
<strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> body. Note, in particular, how the many features<br />
illustrated and itemized on these pages add up to a<br />
rugged ring of steel entirely surrounding the passenger compartments.<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> body is built up from a "rocksolid"<br />
foundation. The rigid steel floor, reinforced by sturdy<br />
ribbed sections, is welded to box-girder rocker panels and
vertical body pillars. The all-steel Turret-Tof), reinforced by<br />
double-ribbed steel bows and box-girder roof rails, is welded<br />
into this assembly. A box-girder reinforced cowl and dash<br />
and new, integral, more rigid rear quarter panels and rear<br />
fenders assembly complete the sturdy steel framework. The<br />
entire <strong>Cadillac</strong> body is built for the greater protection of<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> owners, their families and friends.<br />

RUGGED WINDSHIELD FRAME<br />
The new <strong>Cadillac</strong> windshield is framed by steel<br />
box-type members at each side and by double<br />
steel box members across the top. This type<br />
construction provides exceptionally strong,<br />
rigid and safe support for the windshield and<br />
the all-steel Turret-Top.<br />
NEW BODY INSULATION<br />
Body sealing and insulation have been improved in the <strong>1954</strong><br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong>. Cowl insulation includes insulating board, asphaltimpregnated<br />
paper and Fiberglas which forms an acoustical<br />
blanket located just behind the cowl fire-wall. This heavy<br />
blanket of material is positioned as shown below to protect<br />
70 against external heat, cold, noise and drafts.<br />
Front compartment is insulated by five types<br />
of material against external heat, cold, noise<br />
and drafts.<br />
1. FIBERGLAS<br />
2. ASPHALT-IMPREGNATED PAPER<br />
3. INSULATING BOARD<br />
4. CARPET<br />
5. JUTE PAD
In any climate where <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners may travel, the scientifically<br />
selected insulation used throughout the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
body will help take winter's worst with a smile or will make<br />
the interior of <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars more comfortable in hot weather.<br />
A Fiberglas acoustical and insulation blanket and felt paper<br />
deadener are located on the inside of the Turret-Top on all<br />
Sedans and a lj^-inch Fiberglas pad with vinyl quilted cover<br />
is fastened under the engine hood on all models. The <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
engine has always been the most quiet in the industry ... and<br />
with the thick Fiberglas hood lining, only the slightest<br />
whisper may be heard even when the car is traveling fast<br />
along the highway.<br />
All other metal panels are insulated with various selected<br />
materials. The combined result of <strong>Cadillac</strong> body insulation<br />
methods is to make the <strong>Cadillac</strong> body interior quieter and<br />
more noise-free than ever before.<br />
New sealing around doors provides improved protection<br />
against dust, rain and drafts and, at the same time, provides<br />
softer and quieter door closing.
72<br />
LARGER LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT AREA<br />
In the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars, trunks are more spacious than<br />
ever. There is ample room to accommodate all luggage<br />
normally carried on a trip, even golf clubs. AH trunk interiors<br />
are carpeted to prevent scuffing of luggage. Insulation and<br />
rubber deck-lid seal protect the inside of the trunk from<br />
moisture and dust. Deck lids are hinged with a counterbalanced<br />
spring construction and are fitted with a lock that<br />
is key-released. These features are appreciated by women—<br />
particularly when their arms are full of packages.<br />
DURABLE DOOR CONSTRUCTION<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> doors are formed from two panels of heavy-gauge,<br />
cold-rolled, sheet steel which has exceptional strength in<br />
relation to its weight. These rugged steel door panels are<br />
then formed into a rigid, self-reinforcing, box-like assembly,<br />
and are precision-hung for a perfect fit on tough steel hinges.<br />
When closed, they complete the ring of steel which protects<br />
the <strong>Cadillac</strong> driver and passengers on all sides.
BODY BRACED AND REINFORCED<br />
Further protection is provided the owner of a <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
by strong braces and reinforcements between the rear of the<br />
back seat and the luggage compartment. These sturdy<br />
supports increase strength and rigidity and add to the<br />
durability and quietness of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> body. They also<br />
provide extra safety for the driver and passengers.<br />

CADILLAC PROVIDES<br />
NEW PANORAMIC BEAUTY<br />
Drivers of <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars will appreciate the increased<br />
safety and motoring enjoyment provided by the new panoramic<br />
windshield with new vertical pillar posts. As a result<br />
of this new <strong>Cadillac</strong> windshield design, the driver can see<br />
street signs quickly and easily without craning his neck.<br />
He can see traffic approaching from the side, or roadside<br />
scenery without leaning forward.
The new panoramic windshield<br />
and new vertical corner posts<br />
mark another step forward in<br />
the design and engineering of<br />
the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong>. All forward<br />
vision includes a certain amount<br />
of side vision without the necessity<br />
of turning the head. Previous<br />
slanted corner posts cut<br />
across the line of side vision<br />
creating a blind spot at each<br />
corner of the windshield. The<br />
new vertical corner posts permit<br />
the driver of a <strong>Cadillac</strong> to enjoy<br />
a greater amount of unobstructed<br />
side vision. Adding to<br />
the driver's comfort and safety<br />
is the new 2-inch front overhang of roof panel on sedan<br />
models, which cuts off a considerable portion of the glaring<br />
rays of the sun. In winter, it prevents that portion of the<br />
windshield farthest from the defrosters from getting heavily<br />
iced or packed with snow. High and wide window areas on<br />
each side of the car and the wide panoramic rear window<br />
serve to complete the unsurpassed visibility provided by<br />
the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong>. Tinted "E-Z-Eye" glass is available at<br />
extra cost for all window areas as described in the SPECIAL<br />
EQUIPMENT SECTION of this Data Book.<br />
75
LARGE REAR VENTI-PANES<br />
On <strong>Cadillac</strong> Series 62 and 60 Special Sedans, rear-seat<br />
passengers enjoy the convenience and comfort of large rear<br />
venti-panes which permit controlled air circulation without<br />
allowing disturbing drafts to enter the car. At the same time,<br />
the location of the venti-panes permits rear-seat passengers<br />
to enjoy a full view to either side.<br />
WIDE REAR VISION<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong>'s wide, one-piece, rear window is styled to match<br />
the graceful contours of the car body, and to provide the<br />
driver with an unobstructed view to the rear. Note that the<br />
glass area extends well around into the sides of the rear<br />
quarter panels, thus minimizing the blind spots frequently<br />
found on some cars. An additional advantage for <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
drivers is the rear-view mirror bracket, adjustable for the<br />
best rear view without interfering with front vision.
<strong>1954</strong> DOOR SAFETY FEATURES<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> door checks are designed<br />
for the safety and convenience of the<br />
driver and passengers when entering<br />
or leaving the car. They counterbalance<br />
the doors for easier opening<br />
and hold them positively in position<br />
when fully opened.<br />
Sedan rear doors are fitted with push-down door locks<br />
designed to safeguard children by disengaging the inside<br />
door handle when button is in down position. When doors<br />
are shut and button pushed down, doors cannot be opened<br />
from the outside without a key, nor can they be opened<br />
with the inside door handle. If preferred by owner, locks<br />
can be adjusted so that inside handles will open doors when<br />
push button is in down position. 77<br />

NEW CADILLAC FRESH AIR<br />
VENTILATION SYSTEM<br />
Among the many new features of the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> is a<br />
completely new ventilating system. Fresh air is taken into<br />
the car through an air scoop which extends across the full<br />
width of the hood at the base of the windshield. The air<br />
can be directed to the front and rear passenger compartments,<br />
to the windshield, or to both. When the <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
Heater is added to the ventilating system, the driver enjoys<br />
additional advantages explained in the SPECIAL EQUIP<br />
MENT SECTION of the Data Book.<br />
r
The location of the air inlet across the top of the hood at<br />
the base of the windshield is well away from the dust and<br />
fume-laden air found closer to the road.<br />
Two convenient control levers on the instrument cluster<br />
govern the amount and direction of the incoming air. No<br />
air enters when both levers are in "OFF" position. Lefthand<br />
lever permits air to flow across windshield for defogging<br />
or defrosting. Right-hand lever directs air to front<br />
and rear passenger compartments.<br />

Chassis Features
The long, low lines of the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> strongly suggest<br />
the exceptional stability, handling ease, riding comfort and<br />
safety which are so much a part of this, the greatest car in<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong>'s long history. Yet, many of the important features<br />
which bring these benefits to <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners are completely<br />
concealed beneath the body. They are the components which<br />
make up the <strong>Cadillac</strong> chassis.<br />
This section of your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Data Book illustrates and<br />
briefly explains how each of the major parts of the chassis,<br />
the frame, front and rear suspension, steering, brakes and<br />
power train contributes to the driving pleasure, comfort and<br />
safety of <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners. You will find it useful in pointing<br />
out new features to present <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners, and in showing<br />
competitive owners that <strong>Cadillac</strong> is, in <strong>1954</strong>, as always—<br />
truly the standard of the motor car world.<br />

NEW, RUGGED, I-BEAM, X-MEMBER FRAME<br />
The new <strong>Cadillac</strong> frame for <strong>1954</strong>, as in the past, provides<br />
the safety of sturdy, channel-section side rails with a rugged,<br />
I-Beam, X-Member extending beneath the entire passenger<br />
compartment. This type of construction, reserved by some<br />
car makers for convertible models only, provides an exceptionally<br />
strong, rigid backbone for the entire car. The rugged<br />
front cross member provides exceptional strength plus sturdy<br />
support for engine, steering and front suspension units. The<br />
<strong>1954</strong> frame is longer, thus permitting the increased comfort<br />
of a 3-inch longer wheelbase and 2 inches more leg room in<br />
the rear compartment. It is wider in front, permitting a<br />
wider front tread for easier steering and greater stability.<br />
60 i"<br />
63.10"<br />
NEW WIDER TREAD<br />
Ample tread width has long been a factor in <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s<br />
steadiness on the straightaway; its sure-footedness rounding<br />
curves or corners. In <strong>1954</strong>, the front tread width has been<br />
increased to a full 60 inches for even surer, steadier steering.
NEW LONGER WHEELBASE<br />
The advantages of a long-wheelbase car<br />
are many. For example, when driving over<br />
uneven road surfaces there is less tilt to<br />
the long-wheelbase car. This can easily be<br />
demonstrated to your prospects by laying<br />
one end of a long lead pencil and one end<br />
of a short lead pencil across a third pencil.<br />
Note the greater angle of tilt of the shorter<br />
pencil. In addition to a more level ride,<br />
the new longer wheelbase permits roomier<br />
interiors with 2 inches greater leg room<br />
for rear-seat passengers.<br />
WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION-FRONT: 50% REAR: 50%<br />
WHEELBASE<br />
GOOD WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION<br />
Another factor contributing to the ease with which <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
cars are kept on a straight course is good weight distribution.<br />
For example: <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars carry approximately 50%<br />
of the weight on the front wheels and 50% on the rear wheels.<br />
This equitable weight distribution, assuring good traction<br />
of all four wheels on the road, is especially important during<br />
braking or when rounding curves at highway speeds.<br />
LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY<br />
The low, sweeping lines of the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> are achieved by<br />
skillful frame and chassis engineering which permits lowering<br />
the entire body without sacrificing interior roominess. This<br />
brings <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s center of gravity still closer to the road<br />
and results in a truly amazing resistance to roll-over.<br />
89<br />
85
INDIVIDUAL FRONT WHEEL SUSPENSION<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> individual coil spring front wheel suspension is<br />
designed to permit either front wheel to pass over bumps<br />
in the road without affecting the opposite front wheel or<br />
jolting the passengers. In <strong>1954</strong>, increased wheel travel has<br />
been permitted on both compression and rebound, thus<br />
increasing the capacity of the front suspension units to<br />
absorb the most severe bumps without "bottoming".<br />
NEW SHOCK ABSORBERS<br />
New double-end-type valving in <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> shock absorbers<br />
permits the shock absorbers to quickly counteract<br />
spring flexing on small bumps so that they are scarcely<br />
perceptible to passengers. On large bumps, the double-end<br />
valving permits less abrupt spring control, thus sudden,<br />
hard jolts are eliminated. Use of a new high viscosity, aircraft-type<br />
shock absorber fluid, less susceptible to temperature<br />
changes, assures consistent, full-range shock absorber<br />
control in any weather. A baffle tube prevents<br />
formation of bubbles in the fluid and consequent loss of<br />
shock absorber efficiency.
NEW REAR SUSPENSION<br />
For improved riding comfort and ease-of-handling, the <strong>1954</strong><br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> rear springs are longer, wider and softer acting.The<br />
use of 5-leaf instead of 8-Ieaf springs enables the springs to<br />
flex more quickly and to absorb small road irregularities<br />
without noticeable action to frame or body. Being wider,<br />
the new rear springs increase ride stability by providing<br />
greater resistance to lateral or side-to-side motion of the car.<br />
This stability is further increased by mounting the springs<br />
so that the front ends have a toed-in effect as shown above.<br />
HOTCHKISS DRIVE<br />
Hotchkiss Drive is the name given to the method of transferring<br />
the thrust of the rear wheels to the frame through<br />
the rear springs. Thus, the springs cushion starting or stopping<br />
movement of the car. Driver and passengers experience<br />
only a smooth, gradual feeling of motion during acceleration<br />
or braking. In addition, unsprung weight (weight not carried<br />
by the rear springs) is minimized.<br />
87
92<br />
88<br />
SUPER-SAFE CADILLAC BRAKES<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong>'s large brake drum and lining area helps the<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> driver to bring his car to a stop with minimum<br />
pedal pressure. In addition, <strong>Cadillac</strong> brakes are of the selfenergizing<br />
type. The two brake shoes are linked together<br />
at one end. Thus, as the first brake shoe is pressed against<br />
the revolving drum, the drum forces the first shoe to wedge<br />
the second shoe against the drum. This multiplies the force<br />
of the braking action while minimizing the amount of<br />
pressure required of the driver's foot on the brake pedal.<br />
NEW GROOVED LINING<br />
The remarkably sure, safe braking provided<br />
by <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s big 12-inch brake<br />
drums and exceptionally large lining<br />
area (greater than most competitive<br />
cars) has been improved even further<br />
in <strong>1954</strong>. A new lengthwise groove down<br />
the center of the primary lining provides<br />
better cooling for the lining and<br />
drum. As a result, hard usage of the<br />
brakes will not produce lining or drum<br />
overheating.
CADILLAC PARALLEL-LINK STEERING<br />
Parallel-Link steering in all <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars provides steering<br />
stability at all speeds and takes the "fight" out of the<br />
toughest roads. A short turning radius and accurate steering<br />
geometry are among the features of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> steering<br />
system. The addition of <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering, now provided<br />
at no extra cost, makes steering easier than ever before<br />
in the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong>. (See Special Equipment Section for<br />
full information on <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering.)<br />

CADILLAC HYDRA-MATIC DRIVE<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong>'s famous Hydra-Matic transmission has always<br />
provided the most flexible no-shift driving in the industry.<br />
In the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong>, modifications in the valve system that<br />
controls shift points have resulted in even greater smoothness.<br />
The driver and passengers are aware only of a single,<br />
continuous flow of forward motion.<br />
Choice of two Drive Ranges permits the driver to select<br />
exactly the performance most desired for city traffic,<br />
mountainous driving or for the open highway.<br />
The first driving position is the one to be manually<br />
OR selected for all normal driving requirements. It<br />
EZ provides four forward gear ratios. These are automatically<br />
selected for maximum efficiency and performance<br />
according to the pressure exerted on the accelerator and the<br />
speed of the car.<br />
Fourth gear, which is the normal running position after the<br />
car has gained momentum, has a ratio of 1 to 1. This results<br />
in exceptionally low engine speed compared to car speed,<br />
and means smoother, quieter engine operation, lower fuel<br />
and oil consumption and minimum wear on engine parts.<br />
DR<br />
IZ2L<br />
The second driving position locks out fourth gear<br />
up to about 75 miles per hour. This results in<br />
better acceleration in traffic and faster "step-
down" acceleration when the accelerator<br />
is put to the floor board,<br />
because advantage is taken of a<br />
lower gear ratio. It is the range best<br />
suited for ascending and descending<br />
steep grades where traffic signs call<br />
for shifting into lower gears because<br />
the transmission will not "hunt"<br />
between third and fourth going up a<br />
hill and more engine braking is provided<br />
in going downhill.<br />
The control lever may be moved at will between these two<br />
positions when traveling at any car speed. By providing the<br />
most efficient transmission ratio for any requirement,<br />
coupled with the brilliant new 230-horsepower engine,<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> provides sparkling performance with greater<br />
flexibility in traffic than ever before.<br />
A step-down shift from 4th to 3rd gear can be made by<br />
depressing the accelerator pedal completely for passing or<br />
for extra bursts of speed at car speeds of less than 75 miles<br />
per hour. The step-down shift from 3rd to 2nd can be made<br />
at any car speed below 20 miles per hour. Thus, valuable<br />
emergency acceleration is provided in the 12 to 20 miles per<br />
hour speed range.<br />
For extremely steep grades, where speeds below 40 miles per<br />
hour are desirable, the gear selector lever can be placed in<br />
the Lo position where maximum engine braking is available.<br />
CADILLAC'S LOW REAR AXLE RATIO<br />
Because of the ideal combination of <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s 230-horsepower<br />
engine coupled with high-performance Hydra-Matic<br />
transmission, a lower rear axle ratio can be used than on<br />
most competitive cars. <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s low 3.07 to 1 axle means<br />
that the rear wheels make one complete revolution to only<br />
slightly over three revolutions of the engine. Slower engine<br />
speeds mean quieter engine operation, less fuel and oil consumption<br />
and less wear on engine parts. A 3.36 to 1 axle<br />
is optional at no extra cost, and is provided as standard on<br />
cars equipped with the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Air Conditioner.<br />

AS ALWAYS-THE STANDARD OF THE WORLD<br />
<strong>1954</strong> CAJDTULAJC<br />
Engine<br />
The <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine with its tremendous 230-horsepower<br />
output is a worthy successor to the famous engine<br />
which set new standards of power, performance and economy<br />
in 1953.<br />
However, because of many new refinements, plus an almost<br />
10% increase in horsepower, your <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners are<br />
assured of engine performance and dependability never<br />
before attained in an American production automobile.<br />
Naturally, the great majority of your <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners will<br />
be quite content to enjoy the smooth, effortless power that<br />
flows quietly and without pause from beneath the broad,<br />
low and beautiful <strong>Cadillac</strong> hood. But a brief reading of the<br />
following pages will enable you to reaffirm in fact what is<br />
already well known by reputation . . . that <strong>Cadillac</strong>, year<br />
after year, sets the pace in automotive engine development.

HIGH 8.25 TO 1 COMPRESSION RATIO<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong>'s 8.25 to 1 compression ratio is among the highest<br />
in the industry. Because the fuel-air mixture is tightly com-<br />
This large volume of fuel-air this space 8¼ times smaller<br />
mixture is compressed into... at the moment it is ignited.<br />
pressed at the moment it is ignited, maximum energy is<br />
obtained from each charge of fuel-air mixture into the<br />
cylinders. New chromed top ring on the pistons minimizes<br />
wear on cylinder walls, thus assuring full compression for<br />
many additional thousands of miles. New oil ring on pistons<br />
is designed to minimize friction on cylinder walls, thus contributing<br />
to the increased power output of the <strong>1954</strong> engine.<br />
COMBUSTION EFFICIENCY<br />
The design of the combustion<br />
chamber in the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine<br />
assures progressive and complete<br />
burning of each fuel-air charge. As<br />
a result, the force created by the<br />
expansion of the burning fuel is<br />
exerted on the piston head in the<br />
form of a smooth, powerful thrust.<br />
There is no undue strain or shock<br />
to pistons or other engine parts.
LARGE VALVES AND PORTS<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine has large intake<br />
and exhaust valves and ports. They<br />
permit a large volume of fuel-air<br />
mixture to enter the cylinders, and<br />
provide easy, unrestricted exit for<br />
the burned exhaust gases. Newly<br />
designed exhaust ports in <strong>1954</strong> reduce<br />
turbulence and permit even faster<br />
exit of exhaust gases, thus increasing<br />
breathing efficiency and power of the<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> engine.<br />
HIGH-LIFT<br />
VALVE MECHANISM<br />
Another major factor in the tremendous<br />
power and performance<br />
that make the <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine<br />
the most outstanding in<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong>'s long history is the<br />
high-lift valve mechanism. By<br />
lifting the large intake and exhaust<br />
valves high off their seats, they<br />
provide large openings for the<br />
fuel-air mixture to enter the cylinders,<br />
and large openings for the<br />
escape of exhaust gases from the<br />
cylinders. The result is that each<br />
cylinder receives a maximum<br />
charge of incoming air-fuel mixture<br />
with minimum dilution from<br />
left-over exhaust gases.<br />
NEW WIDE-LOBE CAMSHAFT<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> camshaft is precision-built of high alloy cast<br />
iron with super-hard and friction-resistant cam and bearing<br />
surfaces. Wider cams, used in <strong>1954</strong>, increase contact surface,<br />
thus minimizing wear on cams and tappets.<br />

"FREE-FLOW" INTAKE<br />
MANIFOLD<br />
Another factor in the breathing<br />
efficiency which contributes so much<br />
to the 230-horsepower output of the<br />
<strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine is the large,<br />
smooth passages in the intake manifold.<br />
They are designed to deliver<br />
uniform charges of fuel-air mixture to each cylinder, thus<br />
assuring smooth, even engine operation.<br />
CADILLAC DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEM<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine is designed so that exhaust gases are<br />
quickly expelled from the cylinders to make way for the next<br />
incoming fuel-air charge. To help accomplish this, <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
provides two separate exhaust manifolds, one on each side<br />
of the engine; twin mufflers, twin resonators and twin tail<br />
pipes. The result of this separate exhaust system for each<br />
bank of four cylinders is to minimize back-pressure in the<br />
engine cylinders, and to permit a full, quiet and continuous<br />
flow of power regardless of speed or load.<br />
'^w-W* AXAM-
BIG FOUR-BARREL<br />
CARBURETOR<br />
The <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine is<br />
equipped with a four-barrel<br />
carburetor which provides remarkable<br />
advantages in performance<br />
and economy. In<br />
combination with <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s<br />
unrestricted intake and dualexhaust<br />
manifolding, it plays<br />
an important part in the highpower<br />
output of the <strong>1954</strong> engine.<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> four-barrel carburetor works as two sets of<br />
dual-barrel carburetors mounted on the engine in tandem.<br />
The forward dual-barrel unit is the basic operating or<br />
"primary" carburetor. The aft dual-barrel unit is the<br />
"booster" or "secondary" carburetor, and comes into play<br />
as needed. At all cruising speeds the engine works with<br />
maximum economy from the primary carburetor. But, when<br />
rapid acceleration is desired, simply depressing the accelerator<br />
pedal brings the "secondary" dual-downdraft carburetor<br />
into operation. This means that more air rushing<br />
down the four barrels creates greater pressure in the intake<br />
manifold. This pressure forces more air-fuel mixture into<br />
the cylinders for maximum power and amazing acceleration.
CADILLAC 12-VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> advanced 12-volt electrical system, introduced in<br />
1953, has been further refined in <strong>1954</strong>. It provides even surer<br />
and more positive starting in cold or wet weather; it delivers<br />
consistent high voltage to the spark plugs for maximum<br />
engine performance with minimum re-setting of spark plug<br />
gaps; and it provides extra reserves of electrical energy for<br />
every lighting or accessory requirement.<br />
NEW 12-VOLT BATTERY<br />
A new 12-volt battery especially designed to provide best<br />
performance with other units in the 12-volt electrical system<br />
has been provided in <strong>1954</strong>. Improved battery sealing minimizes<br />
any likelihood of corrosion. In addition, a new vinylbase<br />
paint on the battery cover protects it from corrosive<br />
damage caused by accidental spilling of battery acids.<br />
NEW 12-VOLT STARTING MOTOR<br />
!''<br />
The new 12-volt starting<br />
motor provides up<br />
to 50% greater engine<br />
cranking speed than ^Milium., ,<br />
6-volt systems, assuring<br />
quick starting in any<br />
weather. New gear<br />
tooth pitch on starting<br />
motor and flywheel<br />
gives extra strength to<br />
gear teeth, reduces<br />
battery drain, provides<br />
quiet operation.
HIGH-CAPACITY 12-VOLT GENERATOR<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong>'s high-capacity 12-volt generator has a wattage<br />
output that is 33% greater than a 6-volt generator of the<br />
same size. It provides an ample and safe margin of reserve.<br />
Its output is greater than the electrical load normally demanded<br />
by the car even at lower car speeds. This protects<br />
against excessive battery drain when slow driving is necessitated<br />
by icy road conditions or heavy traffic jams.<br />
WATERPROOF IGNITION SYSTEM<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine is protected by a completely waterproofed<br />
ignition system. Neoprene rubber, impervious to<br />
oil, is used for ignition wire covering and for spark plug<br />
boots which protect spark plugs from splashing water.<br />
Distributor ends of ignition wires are shielded by vinyl caps.<br />
The distributor itself is designed to shed water effectively.<br />
NEW 12-VOLT DISTRIBUTOR<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong>'s 12-volt ignition system provides an exceptionally<br />
strong spark (from 10,000 to 27,000 volts) for sure, fast<br />
firing of each fuel charge even when spark plugs may have<br />
become fouled or worn. A new distributor drive gear used in<br />
<strong>1954</strong> provides even more accurate timing of each spark, and<br />
assures that each fuel charge will be ignited at precisely the<br />
right moment to exert maximum thrust on the piston.<br />
106
107<br />
102<br />
FULL-PRESSURE<br />
ENGINE<br />
LUBRICATION<br />
Long, trouble-free engine<br />
operation is assured by<br />
full-pressure engine lubrication.<br />
Oil is pumped under<br />
pressure to the overhead<br />
valve assembly, crankshaft<br />
bearings, camshaft, connecting<br />
rods and rocker arm %«^^<br />
shafts, while a pressurized<br />
jet of oil is directed to the cylinder walls and piston pins.<br />
An oil filter, provided at no extra cost, minimizes wear by<br />
filtering abrasive particles from the oil. Linked to the new<br />
oil pump is a vacuum pump which assures dependable<br />
windshield wiper operation.<br />
HYDRAULIC VALVE SILENCERS<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> hydraulic valve silencers automatically compensate<br />
for any minute play or lash in the valve linkage, and thus<br />
always maintain zero clearance between the tappets and<br />
valves. This assures quieter engine operation, full seating of<br />
valves for maximum compression and top engine efficiency.<br />
EFFICIENT ENGINE COOLING<br />
The large bore, short stroke design of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine<br />
minimizes piston friction and exposes less cylinder wall<br />
surface to the flame from the burning fuel-air mixture.<br />
Therefore, more heat energy from the burning fuel goes into<br />
driving the car and less heat must be absorbed by the cooling<br />
system. As a result, <strong>Cadillac</strong> achieves highly efficient<br />
cooling with a compact radiator unlike the bulky, oversize<br />
units required with less efficient engines. Provision is made<br />
to bring the engine quickly to its most efficient operating<br />
temperatures by permitting the water to circulate only<br />
through the cylinder block and head during warm-up. When<br />
proper engine operating temperatures are reached, a thermostat<br />
opens and permits the water to flow through the radiator<br />
for the cooling needed to maintain the correct temperature.
NEW ENGINE MOUNTING ANGLE<br />
As shown above, the front engine mounting points for the<br />
<strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine are located at an angle, just inside and<br />
lower than the top of the frame side rails. These new mounting<br />
points are in a natural position to give more stable<br />
support to the V-shaped engine, and yet permit the rubbercushioned<br />
engine mountings to absorb the slight remaining<br />
torsional vibrations set up by all piston engines. One of the<br />
advantages of these new mountings is to provide exceptionally<br />
smooth and quiet engine operation at idling speeds.<br />
Lowering the engine position between the frame side rails<br />
also serves to straighten the drive line to the rear axle. The<br />
result is minimized vibration of the propeller shaft, thus<br />
contributing to quieter, trouble-free operation and longer life.<br />
The new lower engine position permits a lower hood line<br />
for improved appearance, thus enabling the driver to see<br />
more of the road directly ahead of the car.<br />

During normal driving, <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering becomes<br />
effective when a manual effort of about three pounds is<br />
required on the steering wheel. The most effort a driver will<br />
ever be required to exert never exceeds eight pounds.<br />
Fifty pounds is often required with conventional steering.<br />
The two drawings on the opposite page show what happens<br />
when the <strong>Cadillac</strong> driver turns the steering wheel of his car.<br />
When he turns it to the left, the hydraulic valve mechanism<br />
is actuated to permit the hydraulic power pump to force oil<br />
under pressure to the lower end of the power cylinder. This<br />
is shown by the solid color in the drawing at the right. The<br />
resultant upward movement of the piston transmits motion<br />
through the power rack to rotate the steering sector pinion,<br />
as indicated. Slight manual effort applied at the steering<br />
wheel raises the worm nut at the base of the steering shaft.<br />
This simultaneously transmits some motion to the sector<br />
pinion. Thus, the driver retains the feel of the wheel while<br />
all except the slightest effort is assumed by the power cylinder.<br />
Turning the wheel to the right reverses the action.
TURNING—<strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering requires only the<br />
weight of the driver's hand to master curves and corners.<br />
Because it provides "graduated" assistance, depending upon<br />
how much help is needed, the driver is always in full control<br />
of <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering.<br />
PARKING—Women drivers, in particular, will delight at<br />
the ease with which <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering enables them<br />
to park—even in the tightest spots. The wheels turn easily<br />
with no tugging or straining—even when the car is standing<br />
still. This is important to persons with heart conditions.<br />
SAFETY—<strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering is completely safe! It<br />
does not interfere with present driving habits . . . it absorbs<br />
the jolts and shocks of rutted roads . . . and if it should<br />
become inoperative, the car steers in the usual manner.<br />
RECOVERY FROM TURN—<strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering is<br />
designed to return the wheels to their normal straight-ahead<br />
position after a turn—just as they would with conventional<br />
steering. Thus, the hydraulic action of <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power<br />
Steering does not interfere in any way with wheel straightening.<br />

POWER BRAKES $.<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Brakes are faster acting, easier to apply<br />
and completely safe for all driving conditions. Braking<br />
effort is cut one-third—in fact, just<br />
a touch of the toe is all that's<br />
required for safe, positive stops.<br />
Unlike some systems, which use<br />
a short-stroke pedal, the <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
Power Braking System has a conventional-type<br />
brake pedal. Thus,<br />
should the power system ever fail,<br />
there is sufficient leverage for the<br />
driver to easily stop his <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
with the standard hydraulic brake<br />
system. This important advantage<br />
should be told to your customers.
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Brake is a vacuum-power unit connected<br />
to the hydraulic brake system and to the intake manifold.<br />
A piston is enclosed in the unit. With vacuum on either side<br />
of the piston, the forces are balanced and the piston does<br />
not move. But, when pressure is applied to the brake pedal,<br />
air enters one-half of the unit and the difference in pressure<br />
actuates the piston. The force produced by the piston assists<br />
in the braking. When the brake is released, vacuum again<br />
enters both sides of the piston, and a spring returns the<br />
piston to released position. Should the power unit be accidentally<br />
damaged, the brakes operate as usual, but with no<br />
power assistance. Thus, the unit is completely safe.<br />

CADILLAC AIR CONDITIONER
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> Air Conditioner provides ideal summer temperatures<br />
and dust-free interiors for <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners. Simple<br />
to operate, the system consists of a compressor, condenser,<br />
refrigerant, evaporator and two blowers. The compressor<br />
is belt-driven off the crankshaft through a clutch which<br />
disengages the compressor when air conditioner is "Off."<br />
The compressor draws refrigerant from the evaporator,<br />
compresses and discharges the refrigerant in gaseous form<br />
into the condenser coils where it is changed back into liquid.<br />
Cool air enters the car interior by either of two methods.<br />
One discharges air from grilles on each side of the package<br />
shelf. The second method (available on Sedans only) discharges<br />
cooled and freshened air from ducts mounted<br />
beneath the headlining, and running up to the front compartment.<br />

The <strong>Cadillac</strong> Automatic Heating System supplies fresh air<br />
. . . provides ample heat . . . seals out dust and moisture<br />
. . . holds to a constant temperature . . . rapidly defrosts<br />
and de-fogs windows . . . has a low noise level . . . and is<br />
simple to operate.<br />
Heated outside air is delivered through two heaters, located<br />
on each side of the front compartment. Front-seat passengers<br />
receive warm air through grilles in the cowl side panels,<br />
and rear passengers receive heated air through ducts and<br />
grilles in each front door.<br />
The system is controlled with two levers. There is one on<br />
each side of the instrument cluster. The left-hand lever<br />
marked "HEATER" turns the heater on and off and also
controls the temperature. Under most conditions, the engine<br />
is warmed up and this lever is pushed down to the "LOW"<br />
position. If more heat is required, the lever is pushed down<br />
until a desired temperature is obtained. The right-hand<br />
lever is marked "DEFR". It controls ventilating and defrosting<br />

SIGNAL SEEKING-PRE-SELECTOR RADIO<br />
This <strong>Cadillac</strong> Radio is designed to permit hairline tuning<br />
with a mere touch of the selector bar just above the dial.<br />
In addition to selector bar tuning, which automatically<br />
selects the strongest signal in the area, each of five push<br />
buttons can be pre-set for immediate selection of favorite<br />
stations. This radio is equipped with dual speakers (except<br />
in Convertible Coupes). One is located in the usual instrument<br />
panel location and the other is at the back of the<br />
rear compartment, giving balanced sound to all passengers.<br />
A foot control may also be used for tuning. It makes it<br />
unnecessary to take your eyes off the road or your hands<br />
off the wheel. And on Series 75 models, remote control<br />
tuning for the rear compartment is available.<br />

FOG LAMPS<br />
The new <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> fog lamps<br />
are designed to nest in the grille<br />
below, and closer to the center,<br />
than the headlights. They improve<br />
visibility in adverse<br />
weather conditions, and also incorporate<br />
the parking and turnsignal<br />
lights. A new bar-type<br />
filament is used in <strong>1954</strong>. It provides<br />
more light than V-type<br />
filament previously used.<br />
CADILLAC<br />
AUTRONIC-EYE<br />
This accessory provides added<br />
safety and convenience for<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> owners when driving at<br />
night. The headlights of oncoming<br />
cars automatically dim the<br />
lights of your owner's car. Thus,<br />
the <strong>Cadillac</strong> owner's lights avoid<br />
blinding other drivers. An overriding<br />
switch is provided to<br />
signal drivers who neglect to<br />
switch from highway beam.<br />
SPOTLIGHTS<br />
Spotlights are available to<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> owners for either side<br />
of the car. They are handsomely<br />
styled and finished in bright<br />

smartness. A set consists of four.<br />
CADILLAC<br />
WIRE WHEELS<br />
The fleet, low, graceful lines of<br />
the car are further enhanced by<br />
wire wheels because the center<br />
of eye interest is kept low. A<br />
note of practical value is improved<br />
brake cooling. These wire<br />
wheels hit a new high in good<br />
taste and functional value. They<br />
are available in sets of five.<br />

WINDSHIELD WASHER (STANDARD)<br />
Once considered a convenience item, the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Windshield<br />
Washer has rapidly come to be accepted by owners<br />
as a safety "must". A touch of the button in the center of the<br />
wiper switch causes two jets of water and solvent mixture<br />
to be sprayed on the windshield, and automatically turns<br />
on the wipers to full speed long enough to sweep away<br />
mud, slush, road spray or insects. Standard on all models.<br />
RIGHT-HAND OUTSIDE MIRROR<br />
A useful <strong>Cadillac</strong> accessory for better rear<br />
view is the outside mirror. It is constructed<br />
of plate glass, 4½ inches in<br />

POINTERS ON GETTING<br />
THE GREATEST SATISFACTION<br />
FROM YOUR NEW <strong>1954</strong><br />
CADILLAC
Into your new <strong>Cadillac</strong> have been<br />
built the finest, the most satisfying<br />
and the most advanced features<br />
of automatic operation ever<br />
assembled into an automobile.<br />
You will sense this the moment you take the wheel.<br />
You will find that the high-horsepower engine meets every<br />
demand in a way you have never before experienced. You<br />
will find, too, a new thrill in the improved <strong>Cadillac</strong> Hydra-<br />
Matic transmission that "takes over" once your car is in<br />
motion; in the ease of steering that enables you to thread<br />
effortlessly through traffic. These features, plus <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s<br />
basic design and quality, contribute measurably to complete<br />
peace of mind when driving, as well as to a new and satisfying<br />
sense of security and motoring pleasure.<br />
And, by becoming fully acquainted with all features of your<br />
new car, this new satisfaction can be yours indefinitely with<br />
a little periodic care and attention.<br />
The purpose of this booklet, then, is to familiarize you with<br />
your new <strong>Cadillac</strong> and to point out the simple care and<br />
attention that will be required to maintain its superior performance<br />
and beauty over the years. It is recommended that<br />
you read the following pages carefully; then keep this booklet<br />
in your glove compartment for future reference.<br />
Only in this way can you get the greatest satisfaction and<br />
economy from your investment.<br />

DRIVER'S SEAT ADJUSTMENT<br />
A simple, easy-acting driver's seat adjustment has been provided.<br />
For greatest driving comfort, merely lift the seat-side lever and<br />
slide the seat forward or back to meet your personal requirements<br />
for a relaxed driving posture. Releasing the lever locks, the seat in<br />
position. As the front seat is adjusted forward, it also rises to give<br />
drivers of short stature a good view of the road. On all coupe<br />
models, the seat back swings forward and inward to provide<br />
greater ease of entrance to the rear compartment.<br />
ELECTRICALLY POWERED<br />
SEAT ADJUSTMENT<br />
The forward and backward adjustment of<br />
the front seat is powered by an electrical<br />
mechanism on some models. The control<br />
button is mounted on the front of the seat<br />
valance near the driver's left leg. The seat<br />
rises as it moves forward to provide comfort<br />
and visibility for short persons. If your<br />
car is equipped with the automatic vertical<br />
seat adjustment, the same control button<br />
is used to raise or lower the seat.<br />
3
to night non-glare visibility, simply adjust<br />
the small ear on the bottom of **:? mirror.<br />
The mirror can be adjusted to accommodate<br />
the driver's height and seat position<br />
for greater driving convergence. The<br />
mirror can be adjusted to provide for all<br />
normal height locations. Rotating the<br />
mirror 180° on its pivot will provide still<br />
further adjustment to desired position.<br />
CONVENIENT CONTROLS<br />
As you sit behind the wheel of your new <strong>Cadillac</strong>, you will immediately<br />
discover how conveniently all instruments and controls are located for<br />
maximum visibility and simplicity of operation.<br />
THE TEMPERATURE<br />
INDICATOR<br />
The temperature indicator, located in<br />
the instrument cluster, shows the<br />
approximate temperature of the coolant<br />
in the engine. If the pointer should<br />
register above the center range during<br />
long continuous driving in warm<br />
weather, do not be alarmed, as the<br />
pressure-controlled overflow will normally<br />
prevent fluid losses up to about<br />
245' F. Should the indicator show<br />
"HOT'' on short runs, however, or if<br />
the coolant boils as indicated by a<br />
buzzing sound from the radiator cap,<br />
have your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealer investigate<br />
and correct the condition immediately.<br />
SPEEDOMETER<br />
Your speed, accumulated mileage and<br />
trip mileage are shown on the speedometer.<br />
To reset the trip mileage to<br />
zero, push in on the reset knob under<br />
the instrument panel, to the right of<br />
the steering column and below the<br />
ignition lock, and turn it clockwise to<br />
the desired setting.<br />
normal, it will not, be on at speeds above<br />
idle. If it glows at speeds above idle, have<br />
your Authorized <strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealer inspect it.<br />
THE GASOLINE GAUGE<br />
The gasoline gauge, also located in the<br />
instrument cluster, operates when the<br />
ignition key is turned to the right. The fuel<br />
gauge reading is most accurate at constant<br />
speeds or when the car is stopped. Acceleration<br />
or deceleration causes the fuel to<br />
splash around and affects the reading.<br />
HEADLIGHT CONTROLS<br />
You will find the headlight control knob on<br />
the instrument panel at the left of the instrument<br />
cluster. Parking lights come on as the<br />
knob is pulled halfway out. Headlights operate<br />
as the knob is pulled all the way out. The<br />
instrument panel lights are on when the knob<br />
is in either position. They can be turned<br />
down in intensity or "OFF" by rotating the<br />
knob to the right. If your car is equipped<br />
with <strong>Cadillac</strong> fog lights, they are turned on<br />
by pulling the headlight control knob to the<br />
"halfway" position. Then turn on the separate<br />
fog light control, which is operated by<br />
turning the ring knob located directly behind<br />
and concentric with the headlight knob.<br />
OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT<br />
5<br />
An oil pressure warning light at<br />
the left of the mileage indicators<br />
will glow red when the ignition is<br />
turned on. Under normal conditions<br />
this light will go out as soon<br />
as the engine is started. If it does<br />
not go out, the car should not be<br />
operated until the cause of the<br />
low oil pressure is located and<br />
corrected by your Dealer.
BEAM SELECTOR SWITCH<br />
Your <strong>Cadillac</strong> is equipped with every necessary Sighting facility to<br />
insure good vision and safety for night driving. "Sealed Beam"<br />
driving lights provide a country beam which illuminates well<br />
ahead of the car, and a traffic beam for city use or when passing.<br />
The beam selector switch is on the floor to the left of the brake<br />
pedal. On cars equipped with an Automatic Headlamp Beam<br />
Control, the headlight beam is automatically controlled when the<br />
"dimmer switch" is in the country beam position. The headlights<br />
of oncoming cars switch your beams to dim position. The overriding<br />
switch permits you to signal other drivers who neglect to<br />
dim their lights.<br />
BEAM INDICATOR<br />
A signal light in the upper<br />
bezel of your speedometer<br />
glows red when the country<br />
driving lights are on. For<br />
mutual safety, never leave<br />
the country beam on when<br />
approaching an oncoming<br />
car. This courtesy can reduce<br />
night driving accidents.<br />

Vi.A.' .<br />
Dual back-up lights, which are located directly below the right<br />
and left tail lamp lenses, are a part of the tail lamp assembly. These<br />
lights operate automatically when the transmission selector lever<br />
is placed in reverse while the ignition switch is "ON." You will<br />
find them a great assistance in backing out of driveways or into<br />
parking spaces at night.<br />

TURN SIGNAL LEVER<br />
A turn signal lever is located opposite<br />
the transmission selector level on the<br />
steering column. Form the habit of<br />
moving this turn signal lever "up"<br />
before turning right, and "down"<br />
before turning left. This activates<br />
flashing signals on the right or left,<br />
both front and rear of the car, to<br />
inform both oncoming and following<br />
drivers of your intentions. Corresponding<br />
signal indicators are also<br />
placed on the right and left side of the<br />
speedometer. If, through an emergency,<br />
you need to stop and park on<br />
or close to the highway, always pull<br />
the lever down so that the left-hand<br />
"flashing" lights will warn others. The<br />
"flashing" lights will operate only<br />
with the ignition switch on.<br />
4, — w
MAP LIGHT<br />
For your convenience, a map light is located under the top edge<br />
at the center of the instrument panel. With front doors closed, it<br />
may be operated manually by means of the switch at the front of<br />
the map light. It automatically serves as a courtesy light when<br />
either front door is open on Sedan models. On Coupes, the dome<br />
lamp serves as a courtesy light when the door is open.<br />
CONTROLLED VENTILATION<br />
Air for ventilation enters through ducts located directly beneath<br />
the windshield. This location prevents excessive intake of exhaust<br />
fumes from other cars. Incoming fresh air passes over water<br />
separators and is admitted to the passenger compartment through<br />
valves controlled by push-pull knobs. The control knobs—one for<br />
each side of the car—are conveniently located on the Instrument<br />
Control Cluster. The control for the right side of the car is located<br />
on the right at the steering column, while the left-hand control is<br />
at the left side of the steering column.<br />
When direct outside ventilation is not desired, the knobs should<br />
be pushed in. This prevents the entrance of outside air, and also<br />
allows diversion through the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Automatic Heating System<br />
when that system is turned on during the cold weather months.<br />
8<br />
in me cowi siae pane's, ana ?« delivered to the rear coruDartr^onl<br />
through ducts and grilles in each front
Two methods of cool air delivery are available. One discharges<br />
cool air from grilles located at each side of the rear package shelf.<br />
The other (available only on Sedans) conducts cool air through<br />
concealed ducts extending along the roof from the rear package<br />
shelf to the front compartment. Individually controlled outlets in<br />
the ducts direct the air as desired.<br />
To assist you in obtaining maximum satisfaction and pleasure<br />
from its use, here are helpful suggestions concerning its operation:<br />
OPERATING THE AIR CONDITIONER<br />
1. When getting into a car which has been parked in the sun,<br />
open the windows' for a minute or two to remove the excessively<br />
hot air.<br />
2. Move the "TOGGLE CONTROL SWITCH" to "ON".<br />
3. Turn both right and left "BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL<br />
KNOBS" to the extreme clockwise position.<br />
4. Close windows.<br />
5. To accelerate the rate of cool-down, it is suggested that the<br />
right hand "Dr" range be used for city driving. If it is necessary<br />
to idle more than a few minutes, put the selector lever in<br />
neutral which will increase the engine speed moderately to<br />
provide adequate cooling and prevent engine overheating.<br />
6. You can adjust the "RIGHT" and "LEFT" blowers independently<br />
to compensate for additional heat felt on the<br />
sunny side of the car.<br />
7. The outside air scoops can be closed for winter operation by<br />
turning a small knob located on the left side of the rear package<br />
shelf to the "OFF" position. It should be kept in the "ON"<br />
position during hot weather.<br />
8. In mild weather, when added ventilation alone is wanted<br />
without refrigeration, move the "TOGGLE CONTROL<br />
SWITCH" to the "VENT" position and regulate blower<br />
speeds as desired. Be sure the outside vent control is open.<br />
10<br />
WINDSHIELD WIPERS<br />
Windshield wipers are controlled by the second<br />
knob just to the left of the steering column. To<br />
operate, turn knob clockwise. WINDSHIELD<br />
WASHERS: An excellent means of cleaning a<br />
windshield smeared with road spray or mud from<br />
passing cars is provided you by your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Windshield<br />
Washer. Simply pressing the button in the<br />
center of the control knob causes water to be sprayed<br />
on both sides of the windshield. At the same time.<br />
the wipers will operate automatically.<br />
INTERIOR SUN SHADE<br />
Interior sun shades are provided for added<br />
comfort and safety. They may be pulled down<br />
to the proper level to reduce glare or to shut out<br />
direct rays of the sun. They also may be adjusted<br />
to shield against sun rays entering<br />
through side windows. On Sedan models, the<br />
sun visors may be pulled out horizontally<br />
approximately five inches.<br />
ASH TRAY AND LIGHTER<br />
The ash tray is in the center of the instrument<br />
panel and tilts out when pressed at the bottom.<br />
It may be removed to empty by depressing the<br />
snuffer and tilting further outward.<br />
A cigar lighter is located above and to the right<br />
of the ignition lock. Pushing it in heats the<br />
element. When properly heated for use, it will<br />
click out. The cigar lighter receptacle is illuminated<br />
when parking or headlamps are turned on.<br />
11
HAND BRAKE WARNING LIGHT<br />
To help you to avoid driving with<br />
the hand brake on, a hand brake<br />
warning light is located in the<br />
speedometer face. It lights up if<br />
the ignition key is turned on and<br />
the hand brake is applied.<br />
PROPER USE OF<br />
THE HAND BRAKE<br />
SIGNAL SEEKING-PRE-SELECTOR RADIO<br />
To prevent a parked car from rolling<br />
on slight grades, it is well to form the<br />
habit of setting the hand brake which<br />
is conveniently located to the left of<br />
the steering column. To apply this<br />
brake, merely step on the brake pedal<br />
and pull the hand brake handle<br />
straight back. It locks automatically.<br />
A "tell-tale" light lights up when the<br />
hand brake and the ignition are on.<br />
To release the brake, rotate the<br />
handle left, and it will return to its<br />
normal position. When the handle<br />
pulls out more than five inches, it<br />
should be adjusted by your <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
Dealer. When parking on hills, turn<br />
the wheels toward the curb, place the<br />
Hydra-Matic selector lever in (R)<br />
"REVERSE" which locks the transmission,<br />
and apply the hand brake.<br />
(0 W 70<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> radio is noted for its fine tonal qualities and fidelity<br />
of sound reproduction. It is also unusually simple and convenient<br />
to operate. The knob at the left controls "ON", "OFF" and<br />
"VOLUME." The left ring, which operates separately from the<br />
knob, is labeled "MORE STATIONS" and controls sensitivity<br />
(the strength of the weakest signal on which the Selector will stop).<br />
The knob on the right controls the antenna and also the relative<br />
volume of the two speakers. Push the knob in to raise the antenna;<br />
pull the knob out to lower the antenna. As you turn the knob<br />
counter-clockwise, the front speaker volume gradually decreases<br />
while the rear speaker volume comes up. Thus, the sound can be<br />
"balanced" to please both front and rear passengers. The ring on<br />
the right is the "TONE" control. Turned to the left, bass tones<br />
predominate; turned to the right, treble tones are accentuated.<br />
12<br />
•MPwwwr^V '•"-*-jZfmig $~ '5> " -1 xVup^fyn^^Sf*'<br />
Mmmnm<br />
Hair-line tuning is achieved with a mere touch of the "SELEC<br />
TOR" bar above the dial. On the FIRST clockwise setting of the<br />
"MORE STATIONS" ring, the stronger and more powerful<br />
stations come in. On the SECOND setting, stations of slightly<br />
lower power are received, in addition to the stronger stations . . .<br />
and so on, to the FOURTH and final setting. This radio is equipped<br />
with dual speakers (except in Convertible Coupes) —one in the<br />
usual instrument panel location, and the other at the back of the<br />
rear compartment to give "balanced" sound.<br />
In addition to the automatic tuning bar, this radio also has five<br />
push buttons which can be pre-set to desired stations. They can<br />
be simply set in a few minutes. First, pull down the door immediately<br />
below the dial to uncover the preset pointers. Using the<br />
"SELECTOR" bar, tune in the desired station closest to the left<br />
end on the dial Slide the first pointer on the left so that its pointer<br />
lines up with the dial indicator. The first push button will now<br />
tune that station. Depress the "SELECTOR" bar again, and tune<br />
the next desired station. Align the second pointer with the dial<br />
indicator. Push button number two is now set. Repeat with<br />
remaining three push ; n-
occasionally to correct this. The reset knob projects from the center<br />
of the lower edge of the clock below the numeral "6." To reset, pull<br />
the reset knob out, turn hands to correct time, and allow knob to<br />
spring back. The clock may be easily regulated by turning the<br />
small screw located above the numeral "12." If the clock loses<br />
time, turn the screw to the right. If it gains time, turn the screw<br />
to the left. An adjustment indicator is just below numeral "12."<br />
CAUTION: Turn the screw slowly and listen for the "click."<br />
Each "click" represents a change of about thirty seconds per day.<br />
LOCATION OF FUSES<br />
Several electrical circuits are protected with fuses against overloading.<br />
These fuses are conveniently grouped together in one<br />
location. This fuse block is located behind the instrument panel<br />
on the cowl insulating board, slightly to the left of the car center.<br />
Circuits with fuses in this block include Heaters (20 amp.);<br />
Radio (7.5 amp.); Back-up lights (9 amp.); Windshield Washer<br />
(6 amp.); and Directional Signal System (6 amp.). The spotlight<br />
is fused separately with the fuse (9 amp.) located on the steering<br />
column support underneath the instrument panel. The headlight<br />
circuit is protected with an automatic circuit breaker.<br />
On air-conditioned cars, one additional fuse holder is located<br />
on instrument panel brace under cluster.<br />
IGNITION SWITCH<br />
The ignition switch is on the instrument<br />
panel to the right of the steering column.<br />
It lights up when either parking or headlamps<br />
are turned on. The key may be<br />
turned to any one of the four positions,<br />
but only in the straight-up "OFF" position<br />
can it be inserted or withdrawn.<br />
First position "Right" completes the<br />
ignition circuit and activates all instruments<br />
and accessories. "Full Right"<br />
position starts the engine. The "Left"<br />
position is for operation of the radio and<br />
heater only. For your own protection,<br />
and to cooperate with authorities, always<br />
remove the ignition key when the car is<br />
left unattended.<br />
14<br />
STARTING THE ENGINE<br />
Before attempting to start the engine,<br />
sec that the transmission selector lever is<br />
in the neutral position. To start a cold<br />
engine, press the accelerator pedal<br />
slowly to the toeboard and release. This<br />
pre-sets the choke and fast idle. Now<br />
turn ignition key as far "Right" as it<br />
will go. This operates the starter. DO<br />
NOT hold ignition key in the starter<br />
position longer than 15 seconds at one<br />
time. When you release the key, it will<br />
automatically return to the ignition<br />
"ON" position. When starting a hot<br />
engine, it is advisable to hold the accelerator pedal halfway down.<br />
Do not pump, as this tends to flood the engine. A flooded engine<br />
will usually respond quickly if you hold the accelerator pedal all<br />
the Way down and turn key to starter position. When temperatures<br />
are below 20° F., warm up the engine before moving the car.<br />
HOW TO USE THE<br />
TWO DRIVING "DR"<br />
RANGES<br />
OPERATION OF<br />
HYDRA-MATIC DRIVE<br />
You will note that the "Dr" range<br />
has two positions. The left-hand<br />
arrow position of the selector<br />
lever will provide four forward<br />
speeds; the right arrow position<br />
will provide three forward speeds.<br />
For Normal Driving—the lefthand<br />
arrow position should be<br />
used, because it will reduce engine<br />
speed and increase economy.<br />
!liglt;:;'filMr'<br />

When Passing—an extra burst of speed may be secured by<br />
merely pressing the accelerator down as far as it will go. This<br />
procedure automatically down-shifts the transmission to the<br />

"Lo" range is provided for operation<br />
first, second and third speeds are obtained,<br />
improving acceleration in heavy traffic.<br />
in deep sand, mud or snow. It should<br />
also be used in going up or down «*.. H<br />
The right-hand arrow position also reduces<br />
very steep grades, or where traffic<br />
automatic shifting in traffic and on hills,<br />
signs call for first or second gear.<br />
and will increase the engine braking effort when descending grades.<br />
A change from either of the "Dr"<br />
To Stop—release the accelerator and step on the foot brake<br />
positions to "Lo" can be made at<br />
pedal.<br />
moderate speeds when the car is on<br />
To Back Up with Your Car Stopped—move the selector lever<br />
to the Reverse "R" position. This can be done from either Neutral<br />
"N," "Dr" position, or "Lo" without pause. Lift the selector lever<br />
slightly as it passes the "Dr" and "Lo" positions. Press accelerator<br />
dry pavement. It is not recommended<br />
to shift to "Lo" in this manner when pavement is slippery,<br />
or when in loose gravel because it might induce a skid.<br />
to move car in Reverse. The selector lever should not be placed in<br />
"R" while moving ahead on dry pavement.<br />
PARKING ON HILLS WITH SAFETY<br />
Your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Hydra-Matic Drive will provide safe parking on<br />
hills or steep inclines. Simply turn the ignition key "OFF" when<br />
the selector lever is in "Dr" or "Lo." Then raise and move the<br />
selector lever to "R." As an additional safety measure, apply the<br />
hand brake and toe-in the front wheels to the curb.<br />
To "Rock" the Car to Free It from Snow, Sand, Mud or Icemerely<br />
move the selector lever back and forth between Low "Lo"<br />
and Reverse "R" with just enough pressure on the accelerator to<br />
cause rocking. No pause is necessary to shift to Reverse. Light<br />
accelerator pressures on slippery surfaces will improve traction.<br />
NOTE: If the wheels are locked by braking on ice while in either<br />
drive range, the transmission will shift to first speed. When this<br />
occurs, move the shift lever to neutral until control is recovered.<br />
Intermittent brake application on ice will.provide better control.<br />
16<br />
PUSHING OR TOWING<br />
Cars equipped with Hydra-Matic Drive should not be towed or<br />
pushed for any greater distance than normally required to start<br />
the engine. Follow instructions below.<br />
For Starting—To start the engine by pushing the car, move the<br />
selector lever to the "N" (Neutral position). When the car reaches<br />
a speed of approximately 18 to 20 miles per hour, turn on the<br />
ignition switch and move the selector lever to either "Dr" position<br />
(not to "Lo").<br />
For Transmission Not Functioning Properly—The propeller<br />
shaft must be disconnected at the rear universal joint and removed,<br />
or the rear wheels raised off the ground, to prevent further damage<br />
to the transmission when towing.<br />
For Mechanical Failures Other Than Transmission—Propeller<br />
shaft need not be disconnected if transmission has been operating<br />
normally, provided the car has been driven a minimum of 1,000<br />
miles and that towing speeds from 15 to 25 miles per hour are<br />
maintained with selector lever in Neutral. Towing at high speeds<br />
may damage the transmission.<br />
17
ENGINE BREAK-IN INSTRUCTIONS<br />
Your new <strong>Cadillac</strong> does not require a formal break-in period. You<br />
should drive it at varying speeds in a normal manner, just as you<br />
expect to drive your car when it is a year old.<br />
Precision manufacturing methods have prepared your <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
for all normal driving, and it has already been tested under<br />
simulated road conditions at the factory.<br />
There are no maximum speed limitations which must be<br />
observed. For the first 100 miles or longer, however, you should<br />
avoid driving for extended periods at any one constant speed,<br />
either slow or fast, and you should avoid full-throttle "jack rabbit"<br />
starts and severe application of the brakes in stopping.<br />
COLD WEATHER HINTS<br />
It is good practice to run the engine a few minutes to warm the<br />
engine and transmission lubricants before moving the car. In<br />
sub-zero weather, moderate speeds for the first mile or two will<br />
also insure proper warm-up of the rear axle lubricant. The use of<br />
the Hydra-Matic right-hand "Dr" arrow position in congested<br />
traffic will increase generator output and reduce the effect of high<br />
current demands on the y-<br />
GASOLINE TANK<br />
CAPACITY<br />
The capacity of the gasoline<br />
tank on all series is 20 gallons.<br />
The gasoline filler cap is<br />
located under the hinged top<br />
of the left rear tail lamp. Open<br />
by pushing in the reflector<br />
button at the base of the tail<br />
lamp. When closed, the cover<br />
locks itself firmly in position.<br />
18<br />
USE GASOLINE WITH HIGH OCTANE RATING<br />
Best engine performance will be obtained by the use of a gasoline<br />
having a high octane rating. The. use of gasoline with a low octane<br />
rating tends to increase the possibility of "pinging" with a<br />
resultant reduction in engine operating efficiency. If a "pinging"<br />
condition is either excessive or prolonged, using a premium fuel,<br />
see your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealer.<br />
Should your car show loss of power at fairly high altitudes, do<br />
not become alarmed. Any marked gain in altitude results in<br />
reduced air density and power.<br />
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
Your use of the proper engine oil is of great importance in obtaining<br />
maximum performance and satisfaction from your car.<br />
Oil oxidizes when heated. Unless protected against oxidation,<br />
crankcase oils may form sludge and varnish, and under some<br />
conditions, corrosive acids.<br />
To minimize the formation of these harmful decomposition<br />
products, and to supply the type of oil best suited for the different<br />
operating conditions, the refiners market several types of oils.<br />
In many instances, during so-called moderate or light driving<br />
conditions when the engine is used infrequently or driven for short<br />
periods, the lubricating oil does not reach normal operating<br />
temperatures. Sludge formation increases under these conditions.<br />
For maximum protection of your <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine under all<br />
normal driving conditions, it is recommended that oils designated<br />
"For Service MS" or "For Service DG" be used. These oils were<br />
formerly called "Heavy-Duty Oils."<br />
THE FIRST 500 MILES<br />
For the first 500 miles, use the heavy-duty<br />
oil in the crankcase at the time your car<br />
was delivered to you. During this period<br />
should additional oil be necessary, use<br />
nothing heavier than 10-W oil in winter or<br />
20-W oil in summer. Change oil at 500<br />
miles. Break-in oils or compounds are<br />
entirely unnecessary.<br />
19<br />
31) bU /i
AFTER THE FIRST 500 MILES<br />
For the best all-around engine performance after the first 500 miles,<br />
SAE 20-W or SAE 20 engine oil should V><br />
4 during summer<br />
weather. If your car is regularly driven a: - if the<br />
prevailing daylight temperature averages :: ;•"., SAK 30<br />
oil may be used.<br />
For cold weather, oil should be selected that will permit easy<br />
starting at the lowest temperature anticipated for the entire<br />
period. Unless the proper oil is selected, you may have difficulty<br />
starting your car if the temperature drops i-i:: nly. The viscosity<br />
grades of engine oil for use in your <strong>Cadillac</strong> at the various cold<br />
weather temperatures are given below.<br />
If you anticipate that the minimum<br />
atmospheric temperature will be: ^^ tirade:<br />
Not lower than 32° F. above zero . SAE 20-W or SAE 20<br />
Not lower than 10° F. above zero SAE 20-W<br />
Not lower than 10° F. below zero SAE 10-W<br />
Below 10° F. below zero SAE 5-W*<br />
*NOTE: Improved SAE 5-W oils combine the low temperature<br />
easy starting characteristics of 5-W with the performance characteristics<br />
of high quality 10-W at the higher engine operating<br />
temperatures. SAE 5-W oils are intended for use under all operating<br />
conditions and under all atmospheric temperatures that may be<br />
encountered when below zero temperatures may be expected. They<br />
should be used not only at the lower temperatures, but may he<br />
retained in the crankcase for use during the warmer days that occur<br />
during the winter season. Look for the identification "For Service<br />
MS" or "For Service DG" on the container.<br />
BE SURE THAT YOU ALWAYS GET<br />
THE PROPER, AUTHORIZED FLUID<br />
FOR HYDRA-MATIC DRIVE<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Hydra-Matic Drive operation depends upon the use of<br />
a fluid of very exacting specifications, compounded especially for<br />
automatic transmissions. This fluid can be obtained from Authorized<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealers and reputable service stations who carry<br />
fluid which has been qualified by General Motors Corporation for<br />
use in <strong>Cadillac</strong> Hydra-Matic Transmissions. Approved Hydra-<br />
Matic Fluid is identified for the protection of the car owner by the<br />
qualification number "AQ-ATF — — —." Authorized <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
Dealers will check the fluid level in your Hydra-Matic Drive<br />
every 2,000 miles at the same time that your car is being lubricated<br />
—and, if necessary, they will add fluid.<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> Hydra-Matic Drive should be completely drained<br />
and fresh fluid supplied every 25,000 miles.<br />
20<br />
MAINTAIN PROPER<br />
OIL LEVEL<br />
ENGINE OIL<br />
LEVEL INDICATOR<br />
The engine crankcase oil capacity is<br />
five quarts. Always maintain the proper<br />
oil level. The oil indicator is marked for<br />
a safe driving range. Whenever the<br />
level falls to the "ADD OIL" mark,<br />
add oil immediately. Do not add above<br />
the "FULL" mark. Check your oil<br />
each time you buy gasoline and before<br />
starting long drives. After the initial<br />
change at 500 miles and a second oil<br />
change at 2,000 miles, engine oil should<br />
be drained and replaced every two<br />
months or 2,000 miles, whichever occurs<br />
first. More frequent changes are required<br />
with unusual stop-and-go operation, dusty<br />
road travel or during prolonged cold or<br />
wet climatic conditions. In extreme cases,<br />
your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Serviceman may recommend<br />
an oil change after 1,000 or even 500 miles<br />
of driving.<br />
Your <strong>Cadillac</strong> is equipped with an<br />
oil filter that removes harmful particles<br />
from the oil. The element of this filter<br />
should be changed every 6,000 miles.<br />
The engine oil level indicator is on the<br />
left side of the crankcase. The combination<br />
oil filler and crankcase ventilator<br />
cap is in the center of the engine in<br />
front of the carburetor. It is wise to<br />
have the oil level checked each time<br />
gasoline is purchased. Add oil whenever<br />
the level is down to the "ADD OIL"<br />
mark, but add only enough to bring<br />
level up to the "FULL" mark or the<br />
five-quart level. Avoid overfilling crankcase,<br />
since this may cause the oil to<br />
foam. The copper gauze in the ventilator<br />
cap should be cleaned and dipped<br />
in clean oil when the oi! is changed.<br />
21
RADIATOR FILLER CAP<br />
The radiator filler cap is located under the hood. The coolant level<br />
should be checked at least every 2,000 miles, with the engine cold.<br />
Care should be taken not to lose coolant when chocking.<br />
A SAFETY PRECAUTION<br />
Avoid removing the filler cap while the<br />
engine is hot, as coolant may spray out.<br />
However, should it become absolutely<br />
necessary to do so, rotate the cap toward<br />
the left until the first stop is reached and<br />
allow pressure to escape. Then turn again<br />
to the left to remove. Be sure the cap is<br />
turned tightly when re-installed.<br />
ENGINE EFFICIENCY AND PROTECTION<br />
DEPEND ON PROPER COOLING<br />
The cooling system of your <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine has been designed to<br />
maintain pre-determined temperatures for efficient operation. On<br />
Series 60 and 62 models equipped with heaters, the normal<br />
capacity of the system is approximately twenty-two quarts.<br />
The Series 75 capacity is 24½ quarts.<br />
The cooling system requires regular attention. The proper coolant<br />
level is two inches below the top of the filler neck when the<br />
engine is cold. Keep the system leak-proof by having all connections<br />
tightened regularly. Have your Authorized <strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealer<br />
clean and flush the system twice a year for the best efficiency.<br />
22<br />
CADILLAC COOLING<br />
SYSTEM INHIBITOR<br />
Your <strong>Cadillac</strong>, when delivered to you,<br />
contains a charge of <strong>Cadillac</strong> Cooling<br />
System Inhibitor, a special chemical that<br />
retards the formation of rust and scale<br />
and reduces the possibility of water pump<br />
squeal. Regardless of the season, a fresh<br />
charge of Inhibitor should be added whenever<br />
the system is drained and refilled,<br />
even when an antifreeze containing<br />
Inhibitor is being used. <strong>Cadillac</strong> Cooling<br />
System Inhibitor is recommended because<br />
of its effective action, and because it can<br />
be safely used with any standard antifreeze.<br />
Your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealer has it.<br />
BEFORE THE MERCURY DROPS TO<br />
FREEZING . . . HAVE YOUR CAR<br />
PROTECTED WITH ANTIFREEZE<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> factory engineers recommend using either a permanent<br />
glycol-type or an alcohol base antifreeze, such as denatured<br />
alcohol, methanol or propanol.<br />
Kerosene, other oils or solutions containing calcium chloride,<br />
magnesium chloride, sodium silicate or other inorganic salts are<br />
not satisfactory for use in your <strong>Cadillac</strong> 1 car cooling system.<br />
INSTALLING ANT1FREE7E<br />
The cooling system should be thoroughly<br />
cleaned, inspected and serviced<br />
for winter operation before installing<br />
antifreeze. Regular inspection of the<br />
entire system to prevent leaks should<br />
be made frequently after the antifreeze<br />
is installed —especially the hose connections,<br />
cylinder heads and water pump.<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Heating Systems are so<br />
located that they do not drain, even<br />
when the hoses are disconnected, unless<br />
air pressure is applied. Do not rely on<br />
draining to prevent freezing in cars<br />
using Heating Systems; be sure to get<br />
antifreeze into the heater cores to prevent<br />
winter damage to the system.<br />
Because your car is equipped with<br />
windshield washers, the addition of a<br />
proper mixture of <strong>Cadillac</strong> Windshield<br />
Washer Solvent is advised at this time.<br />
23
HOOD LOCK<br />
The hood lock is operated by pulling a<br />
lever which is accessible through the<br />
radiator grille opening just to the left of<br />
center. The first part of the lever's<br />
movement releases the primary lock.<br />
Continued pulling opens the safety<br />
catch, and with the lever in this fully<br />
operated position, an upward pressure<br />
will raise the hood. To close hood, push<br />
down until it drops of its own weight.<br />
The lock automatically repositions.<br />
OPERATION OF NEW CADILLAC<br />
POWER STEERING<br />
Your <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> is equipped with the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering<br />
System. The former work of steering is being done for you without<br />
need to operate any additional controls. Ladies in particular will<br />
discover that this system makes a car amazingly easy to turn . . .<br />
to park . . . and to maneuver in heavy traffic.<br />
24<br />
Unlike other power steering systems,<br />
the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering<br />
System permits you to retain the true<br />
"feel" of steering. All emphasis in the<br />
design of this new Power Steering has<br />
been with your driving comfort in<br />
mind—to furnish you with a system<br />
that requires a minimum of driving<br />
effort—and with a unit that makes<br />
parking almost effortless.<br />
One of the great advantages of your<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering System is<br />
that it may be manually operated<br />
with the ignition in the "OFF" position.<br />
In the event your power system<br />
is disconnected for any reason—steering<br />
may be accomplished manually in<br />
the normal manner.<br />
Under all conditions of driving,<br />
you remain in control. When driving<br />
around a curve, the car follows<br />
the path that you direct with your<br />
hands on the wheel. <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power<br />
Steering does not steer beyond the<br />
path that you set. For example, if<br />
you remove your hands from the<br />
wheel for a brief moment, your<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> will again follow a straight<br />
path just as it does with manual<br />
steering.<br />
Your Power Steering System is<br />
so designed that it gives you no<br />
hydraulic steering assistance under<br />
very light steering conditions; such<br />
as the slight maneuvering required<br />
to steer on a straight road. Another<br />
safety factor, inherent in your<br />
Power Steering unit, is that the<br />
hydraulic system—in addition to<br />
acting as a booster—resists kickback<br />
and "road shock" and provides<br />
you with positive directional<br />
steering control.<br />
25
CONVENIENT DOOR LOCKS<br />
POWER BRAKE<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Brake is faster acting,<br />
easier to apply and completely safe for all<br />
driving conditions. If your car is equipped<br />
with this feature, you will find that braking<br />
effort is reduced considerably for<br />
moderate to severe applications.<br />
The conventional brake pedal and<br />
system have been retained. This has been<br />
done so that if the power system should become<br />
inoperative, or if it is ever necessary<br />
to apply the brakes when the engine is<br />
not running, there is sufficient leverage to<br />
stop the car with foot power alone.<br />
Each door -on your <strong>Cadillac</strong> can be locked<br />
from the inside by pushing down the lock<br />
button on the sill. Doors may also be<br />
locked from the outside with this button<br />
by pushing the button.down while the<br />
door is open, and then holding the door<br />
handle opening button all the way in while<br />
closing the door. Locks on the rear doors<br />
of Sedans are set so that both the inside<br />
and outside door handles are inoperative<br />
when the lock button is depressed. To<br />
open a door, it is then necessary to lift the<br />
lock button before operating the door handle. If desired, the locks<br />
on the rear doors of Sedans can be reset by any Authorized <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
Dealer so that pushing down the lock button makes only the outside<br />
handle inoperative to outside opening.<br />
26<br />
ELECTRIC WINDOW<br />
REGULATION<br />
The electrically-operated windows on<br />
cars so equipped are connected so that<br />
they will not operate unless the ignition<br />
switch is "ON" or in the accessory (left)<br />
position. The button controls for raising<br />
and lowering the windows are located<br />
on each door in the finish panel. Four<br />
master control switches are located on<br />
the left front door to operate all four<br />
windows. The Series 75 models have<br />
four buttons on the left front door<br />
which control the raising and lowering<br />
of the two front windows and the raising<br />
only of the two rear compartment<br />
windows. On the Series 75 Limousine,<br />
controls for the rear-door windows and<br />
division glass are conveniently on the<br />
rear armrests.<br />
On all Coupe models, the control switches for the rear quarter<br />
windows are in the armrest.<br />
LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT<br />
The luggage compartment lid on your <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> has a counterbalanced<br />
construction and is fitted with a key-lock release. To<br />
open, insert the key with the rounded head, turn in a clockwise<br />
direction and, using the grip under the "V" of the <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
emblem, lift the lid up. To close, pull down to a position 6 or 8<br />
inches from closing, remove the key and push lid firmly downward.<br />
This automatically locks the luggage compartment. An automatic<br />
interior light operates for your convenience when the luggage<br />
compartment lid is raised.
CADILLAC BLUE CORAL TREATMENT<br />
PROTECTS AND BEAUTIFIES YOUR CAR<br />
The original beauty of your <strong>Cadillac</strong> car can be retained for<br />
months by having your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealer apply the factoryapproved,<br />
restorative, protective service—the famous <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
BLUE CORAL Treatment. This is a scientific method employing<br />
approved materials and special techniques for unequalled results.<br />
Since calcium chloride and other salts, road tar, insects, tree sap,<br />
chemicals from factory chimneys and other foreign matter may<br />
damage modern automotive finishes, frequent and regular washings<br />
with clear water are recommended as a further protection.<br />
USE CADILLAC KAR-KLEEN FOR<br />
UPHOLSTERY AND CARPETS<br />
Car interiors reconditioned with KAR-KLEEN are restored to<br />
like-new condition. KAR-KLEEN is easy to use and is not harmful<br />
to colors and fabrics. Follow the package instructions.<br />
IMPORTANT FACTS ON CARE<br />
OF CHROME ON YOUR CAR<br />
The bumpers, grille, wheel discs, hardware and many other parts<br />
of your <strong>Cadillac</strong> are chrome plated. This chromium plating is<br />
susceptible to the actions of solutions being used on streets and<br />
highways to melt ice. Salt air found near the coastlines, smoke<br />
from factories, and other conditions found in today's cities may<br />
also cause corrosive damage. When conditions conducive to<br />
chrome plating corrosion are met, frequent washing is necessary.<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Chrome Cleaner and Chrome Protector—a clear, durable<br />
finish—may be applied to preserve the chromium plating. Both<br />
are simple to use. Follow the instructions on the containers.<br />
28<br />
GIVE PROPER ATTENTION TO<br />
WHEELS AND TIRES<br />
Regular attention will extend the life of your<br />
tires and help you avoid emergency repairs.<br />
Have your tires, including the spare, checked<br />
twice a month. IMPORTANT: To avoid<br />
.serious damage, do not inflate above recommended<br />
pressures.<br />

INTERCHANGING TIRES<br />
To equalize the wear on your tires and thus<br />
prolong tire life, interchange the wheels and<br />
tires on your car, in.the manner indicated in<br />
the illustration, at least every 4,000 miles.<br />
Wheels and tires should be criss-crossed and<br />
alternated with spare to assure even wear<br />
and maximum mileage.<br />

REMOVING CADILLAC<br />
REAR WHEEL SHIELDS<br />
CHANGING WHEELS<br />
Turn the locking rod nut, located forward<br />
of center, in the lower edge of the shield,<br />
counter-clockwise by using the wheel<br />
wrench. Tip the shield outward at the top<br />
while raising up and away from the<br />
mounting hooks.<br />
To install the shield, engage the mounting<br />
hooks at the bottom of the shield with<br />
the fender hooks and then push the top of<br />
the shield in. Tighten the locking rod nut<br />
with the wheel wrench.<br />
STOWAGE OF CAR JACK<br />
When a flat tire requires emergency<br />
wheel changing, follow the procedure<br />
below:<br />
1. Make sure hand brake is set, and<br />
then block the wheel diagonally opposite<br />
the flat tire with the wedge block<br />
provided.<br />
2. Place jack directly under bumper<br />
adjacent to the outside of the bumper<br />
guards. Note: If possible, move car<br />
so the jack rests on level ground.<br />
Raise the wheel off the ground.<br />
3. If rear wheel is to be changed, remove<br />
wheel shield as instructed below.<br />
4. Remove wheel disc, using flattened<br />
end of jack handle as lever.<br />
5. Remove wheel mounting nuts by<br />
turning to the left. Lift wheel off hub.<br />
6. Installation of the spare wheel is performed<br />
by reversing the procedure.<br />
The jack stowage bracket is in the luggage compartment, between<br />
the spare wheel and the right wall. The jack should be mounted<br />
on this bracket as shown on the instruction label attached to the<br />
rear compartment cover. The base of the jack should be stowed in<br />
30<br />
the pocket on the compartment floor. The tire wrench should be<br />
placed in the tire well to the left of the tire with both ends in the<br />
well so that it cannot injure luggage or rattle against other equipment<br />
stowed in the compartment.<br />
CLEANING WHITE SIDEWALL TIRES<br />
To clean white sidewall tires, use soap, warm water and a stiff<br />
brush. For severe cases, a fine grade of steel wool may be used.<br />
DO NOT use gasoline, kerosene or any oil product that will<br />
discolor the sidewalls or damage the rubber. Proper care adds life.<br />

YOUR OWNER'S SERVICE POLICY<br />
Read your Owner's Service Policy carefully. It lists numerous<br />
privileges to which you 'are entitled as a <strong>Cadillac</strong> owner. These<br />
privileges include free inspection and adjustments during the first<br />
90 days or 4,000 miles of ownership, and replacement without<br />
charge of any parts adjudged by the Manufacturer to be defective<br />
under its warranty. Your Service Policy is a valuable asset.<br />
TIRE WARRANTY<br />
The warranty on all tires and tubes is<br />
an obligation of the tire manufacturer.<br />
The following paragraphs are taken<br />
from the tire manufacturers' Standard<br />
Warranty: "Every tire or tube of our<br />
manufacture, bearing our name and<br />
serial number, is guaranteed to be free<br />
from defects in workmanship and material<br />
without limit as to time or mileage.<br />
If our examination shows such tire or<br />
tube has failed under the terms of this<br />
guarantee, we will either repair it or<br />
make a reasonable allowance on the<br />
purchase of a new tire or tube.<br />
"Tires or tubes which fail as a result of overload, excess speed,<br />
improper inflation, abuse or other non-defective conditions or when<br />
used on rims not conforming to Tire & Rim Association Standards,<br />
are not warranted.<br />
"No other warranty of these products, expressed or implied, is<br />
made. No representative has authority to make any representation,<br />
promise or agreement except as stated herein."<br />
BATTERY WARRANTY<br />
The Delco Battery in your car is covered by your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Owner's<br />
Service Policy and is warranted for 90 days or 4,000 miles, whichever<br />
shall first occur. Should it fail within this time it shall be<br />
replaced at no cost.<br />
Should a defect become apparent after 90 days and within the<br />
adjustment period of 18 months or 18,000 miles, whichever occurs<br />
first, it can be exchanged for a new Delco Battery on an adjusted<br />
service or pro rata life basis.<br />
In either case your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealer will be glad to assist you<br />
with this matter.<br />

DEPEND ON AUTHORIZED<br />
CADILLAC SERVICE<br />
Any Authorized <strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealer has a close personal interest in<br />
keeping your <strong>Cadillac</strong> at its best. You can best insure the continuation<br />
of your <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s high standard of performance by<br />
depending always upon Authorized <strong>Cadillac</strong> Service and upon<br />
Genuine <strong>Cadillac</strong> Parts which are built to the same high standards<br />
of precision and quality as the original parts in your <strong>Cadillac</strong> car.<br />
BE SURE OF THOROUGH,<br />
SYSTEMATIC LUBRICATION<br />
OF YOUR CADILLAC . . .<br />
Systematic lubrication is the best means of guarding against<br />
inadequate lubrication and possibly extensive repairs. In order to<br />
provide a means of having the car lubricated systematically,<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> engineers designed a plan known as The <strong>Cadillac</strong> Lubrication<br />
Agreement. This agreement provides for every lubrication<br />
requirement including engine oil changes essential to the proper<br />
performance of your <strong>Cadillac</strong> for 12,000 miles or a period of one<br />
year. Ask your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealer to explain this <strong>Cadillac</strong> Lubrication<br />
Agreement plan to you. It is a plan that will assure you proper and<br />
complete lubrication performed over an entire year's period.<br />
34<br />
CHASSIS LUBRICATION<br />
The chassis requires lubrication every two<br />
months or 2,000 miles, whichever occurs<br />
first. All chassis lubricating points are<br />
listed and illustrated in a <strong>Cadillac</strong> Lubrication<br />
Chart available, upon request, from<br />
the Service Department, <strong>Cadillac</strong> Motor<br />
Car Division, General Motors Corporation,<br />
2860 Clark St., Detroit 32, Mich.<br />
AT THE SAME TIME-HAVE YOUR<br />
CADILLAC DEALER GIVE YOUR CAR<br />
A 10-POINT SAFETY CHECK<br />
Many safety features have been built into your <strong>Cadillac</strong> motor<br />
car. All of these features have been designed, tested and re-tested<br />
in such a way that failure to operate properly is a remote possibility.<br />
But your <strong>Cadillac</strong> carries the most important people in the world<br />
—you and your family. Keep them safe! And let your <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
Dealer help you. Every time you have your car lubricated, ask<br />
for a 10-Point Safety Check. Trained mechanics will carefully<br />
inspect the BRAKES . . . FRONT LIGHTS . . . REAR LIGHTS<br />
. . . STEERING . . . TIRES . . . EXHAUST SYSTEM . . .<br />
GLASS . . . WINDSHIELD<br />
WIPERS . . . REAR VIEW<br />
MIRRORS ... HORN. If any<br />
adjustments or corrections are<br />
needed, you will be informed<br />
and advised on the estimated<br />
cost.<br />
Even the best driver—in<br />
America's finest motor car—<br />
can have an accident if he<br />
drives a neglected car. So,<br />
make safe driving a habit.<br />
Check your car; check accidents<br />
and enjoy life!<br />

REAR AXLE<br />
The lubricant level in l'v* re;)'- axle
handle from the locked position. Draw top down over windshield<br />
header dowels, and turn top center handle to "LOCKED" position.<br />
Never operate top while the car<br />
is moving.<br />
To keep the mechanism in good<br />
condition, operate the top at least<br />
once a month.<br />
To reduce water stains, mildew<br />
or excessive shrinkage of the top<br />
material, do not allow the top to<br />
dry in folded position after it has<br />
been dampened or water soaked.<br />
INTERFERENCE WITH TOP OPERATION<br />
Interference with the mechanical operation of the top, seat or<br />
windows—such as holding or retarding their operation in any<br />
way—should be avoided. If top sticks, relieve the point of interference<br />
to prevent damage to the top.<br />
WHEN TOP IS FOLDED<br />
The convertible top when folded MUST be securely strapped down<br />
to prevent chafing of the top material; the locking handle must be<br />
turned to a "LOCKED" position; then install top boot.<br />
Keep the top compartment clean, and do not use it for storage.<br />
NOTE: If your car is the Eldorado Special Sport Coupe, instructions<br />
for installing the top cover will be found in your glove<br />
compartment.<br />
CARE OF CONVERTIBLE BACK WINDOW<br />
Due to the texture of the plastic rear window in the convertible<br />
top, these precautions must be exercised in its cleaning and care:<br />
1. When removing road dust, do not use a dry cloth. Use a soft<br />
cotton cloth moistened with water and wipe crosswise.<br />
2. To clean, use cold or tepid (not hot) water and mild (not<br />
caustic) neutral soap suds. After washing, rinse with clear<br />
water and wipe with a slightly moistened clean soft cloth.<br />
Caution: Never use solvents or cleaners of alcoholic or other<br />
chemical content. These liquids may possibly have a deteriorating<br />
effect on the plastic and, if spilled, might spot the car<br />
finish.<br />
3. Caution should be used in removing frost, snow or ice during<br />
winter months. DO NOT USE A SCRAPER.<br />
LICENSE DATA<br />
The engine number, which is also the serial number, is stamped<br />
on the car in two places: at the upper right corner on the front<br />
face of right-hand cylinder block, numbered at right angles to the<br />
crankshaft, and on the right frame sidebar just behind the engine<br />
support bracket. The engine number should be used in license and<br />
insurance applications and in genera! car reference.<br />

LITHO IN U.S.A.<br />
A SAFETY NOTE<br />
Carbon monoxide poisoning is always present in exhaust<br />
gases when any concentration of these gases is present<br />
in the air; namely, in a garage, in congested traffic, or<br />
when stopped closely behind a vehicle with its motor<br />
running. With the air intake located just below the wind<br />
shield, your new <strong>Cadillac</strong> provides you with maximum<br />
protection against exhaust fumes. Also, exhaust gases<br />
may have strong odors which normally should give warn<br />
ing of their presence. However, the exhaust gases from<br />
some vehicles may not be so noticeable under certain<br />
conditions and the senses of various people react dif<br />
ferently. These gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide<br />
which by itself is tasteless, colorless and odorless.<br />

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR DETERMINING INTERIOR LACQUER COLORS.<br />
IF COLOR SHADE IS NOT KNOWN IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO REFER TO<br />
DETAILED CHARTS THAT FOLLOW.<br />
To take care of refinishing or touch-up on interiors of the <strong>1954</strong> Series cars.with the exception of a few<br />
color combinations on the convertible styles 54-6267X and 54-6267SX (exceptions noted below), it is possible<br />
to determine the matching color without reference to the detailed paint charts and trim color reference charts<br />
on pages that follow if the interior paint color shade is known.<br />
For practical handling it would only be necessary to have available eight (8) different air dry lacquers<br />
(that are not used as exterior colors), indicated in the chart below. This group of colors is identified in four<br />
(4) different colors - Gray, Blue, Tan,(Brown or Beige) and Green. Each of the four (4) colors is identified<br />
in 2 shades - Light tone and Dark tone. Series 54-60S, 62 employ the use of both tones, dark and light;<br />
Series 54-75 requires the Dark tone.<br />
For application of the color information the following is an example:<br />
EXAMPLE: Request is received for touch-up on blue paint for Style 54-6219, 4-door Sedan. It has bren<br />
determined that the Dark Tone lacquer is required for window garnish molding. This request will require<br />
lacquer identified as Princess Blue (Dark Tone).<br />
If the request was for the Light Tone as used below the window line, the lacquer required is identified as<br />
Caprice Blue (Light Tone).<br />

Color Charts for Interior Painted Moldings, Panels and Related Parts<br />
Interior moldings, panels and painted parts are finished in colors to harmonize with the interior trim<br />
material color shades. To assist in determining trim color requirements, if the trim color is not known,<br />
reference can be made to the trim code chart shown below. For convenience and assistance in procurement,<br />
the original color name and numbers are shown with matching Oupont stock number reference. On parts<br />
using high temperature drying enamels, a reference is made to nearest match of air-drying lacquers.<br />
For easy reference and to cover the most commonly called for areas and parts, the reference is keyed<br />
to four (4) major group charts, that cover the front end items, namely: Instrument Panel, Windshield Garnish<br />
Molding, Steering Column Jacket and Covers, Horn Ring Hub and Spokes, etc.<br />
