The appearance of the Golden Anniversary 

Cadillac should be a source of tremendous 

pride to all of us—to those who build it, to those 

who sell it, and to those who own it. For not only 

does it once again raise the world's conception of 

what constitutes a truly fine motor car—but it 

represents, in all that it is, looks and does, a full 

half-century of continuous automotive development. 

Since the appearance of the first Cadillac car 

in 1902, each passing year has seen Cadillac's position 

as the "Standard of the World" more firmly 

fixed in the minds of the motoring public. So consistently 

and unfailingly, in fact, have the good 

things come from Cadillac that motorists look to it, 

almost as a matter of routine, for their standards 

of automotive quality. The Golden Anniversary 

Cadillac will, we feel certain, strengthen this attitude 

to a conviction. For never before has so fine an 

automobile been presented for their consideration. 

In beauty, in performance, in riding comfort, in 

everything that contributes to motoring goodness, 

this is the finest motor car Cadillac has ever built. 

IN ITS 50TH YEAR AS STANDARD OF THE WORLD!

The task which confronts the Cadillac salesman in 1952 

is, perhaps, unique in all the world of manufactured 

products. And it is a task which will call for all of 

the ingenuity and resources of your selling experience. 

It is a situation which has grown out of the very goodness 

of the car itself. For its leadership is so outstanding 

that motorists who have never before considered the 

purchase of a Cadillac are daily coming into your 

showroom, hoping to become Cadillac owners. And those 

who already own the car have expressed their desire, 

almost as a body, to return once again to Cadillac. 

Your problem, in brief, is this. You must convince them 

of the wisdom of becoming a Cadillac owner—and, at 

the same time, of the wisdom of waiting for delivery. 

You will be aided in your first job by the car itself. For, 

while its styling and design are not markedly changed, 

its engineering advancements are as great as at any time 

in Cadillac history. That is where your principal selling 

efforts should be directed. The prospect should be 

informed, both by description and by demonstration, 

where and in what ways the great Cadillac engine is 

superior to its predecessor. He should have described to 

him the advantages of the new Hydra-Matic transmission, 

and he should understand the mechanics of the 

new Cadillac Power Steering. And then, knowing of 

these advancements, he should have them demonstrated 

to him behind the wheel of the car. There is no substitute

for an actual demonstration—for only by experiencing 

the results of these engineering achievements can he 

appreciate their contribution to motoring happiness. 

He should, similarly, be informed of everything that is 

new in the Golden Anniversary Cadillac—its new crest, 

the changes in styling, design, and its new features. After 

he has talked with you, he should have gained the 

definite impression that, although the car's appearance 

has not been ostensibly changed, it is a new automobile. 

This, however, is only half the job—and perhaps, even 

the easiest. Once he has expressed his desire to own the 

Golden Anniversary Cadillac, he should be informed 

frankly as to what he can expect in way of delivery. The 

waiting period will, in most cases, be longer than he has 

expected—and you must appreciate that what you are 

asking of him places certain obligations on you. 

He should be made to realize, first of all, that the waiting 

is more than worthwhile—that when he finally gets his 

Cadillac he will know that the reward far outweighed 

the inconvenience. He should be informed, further, that 

he is not waiting alone—that others, before him, have 

been told what the delivery situation is, and that they 

have decided to wait. And he should be made to understand, 

finally, that there is no substitute for a Cadillac— 

and that, in accepting quicker delivery elsewhere, he will 

be compromising his desire for a truly fine automobile. 

$

During the time between the placing of the order and 

the actual delivery of the car, he should be contacted 

regularly—and informed of any changes in the expected 

delivery date. Left alone throughout this period, he may 

feel ignored—and become easy prey to the salesman who 

can promise immediate delivery on another automobile. 

In your dealings with the Cadillac prospect, be sure that 

you are thoroughly acquainted with the information and 

selling points included in this data book. It has been 

specifically designed to assist you in these tasks and 

includes everything you need to know about the Golden 

Anniversary Cadillac. Have it close at hand at all times, 

in case the prospect should wish to refer to it or should 

bring up some point on which you are not too definite. 

Remember, even though the demand for Cadillac cars is 

great, your efforts in bringing in new owners as well 

as maintaining your present list of Cadillac owners are 

of inestimable value. For your efforts today will determine, 

to a large degree, the success of future years. 

IN ITS 50TH YEAR AS STANDARD OF THE WORLD!

NEW 62 SEDAN REAR DECK CONTOUR 

For the ultimate result in sleekness of line and long, low 

silhouette, the rear deck contour of the Cadillac 62 Sedan 

and the rear deck contour of the Series 75 cars has 

been raised. This new slipstream styling distinguishes 

these cars in appearance of grace and provides roomy 

luggage compartments of more spacious proportions. 

NEW DUAL EXHAUST THROUGH BUMPER 

The wrap-around protection of the Cadillac rear bumper 

has taken on a glamorous new continental custom styling 

where "split" exhaust systems terminate in beautifully 

designed dual exhaust ports through gleaming chrome 

bumper bars. This new customized dual-exhaust-throughbumper 

is attractive in appearance and functional in 

design. The value of this new feature has been proven in 

terms of better engine performance because it reduces 

back-pressure. It is standard on all 1952 Cadillac cars. 

14

NEW 1952 FRONT-END ENSEMBLE 

In all 1952 Cadillac cars, improvements have been made 

in the front-end ensemble. The lower grille extensions 

have been redesigned to add a massive yet graceful note. 

Beautiful "Cadet Visor" headlamp bezels in sparkling 

chrome are again part of the over-all effect that accentuates 

the flowing lines to blend pleasingly with the 

over-all design. The horizontal grille bars focus attention 

on the beautiful, wider Cadillac V and crest. Fog lights, 

optional at additional cost, are integral with the center 

grille member and also carry the new beautifully 

styled Cadillac "Cadet Visor" bezels in sparkling chrome 

15

CADILLAC FLEETWOOD 

Here, beyond all doubt, is the most magnificently 

luxurious owner-driven automobile on the highways—a 

long and low-silhouetted beauty designed for those whose 

choice is unrestricted. This lovely Cadillac 60 Special 

knows no rival for the affections of the motoring public. 

It offers such outstanding and exclusive features, brilliant 

style and dazzling performance that it has helped play a 

major role in building Cadillac's reputation as the 

"Standard of the World." Every feature of design, construction 

and performance places the emphasis on luxury. 

16

For 1952, the accent is also on color. This grand sedan is 

available in 17 color choices—12 solid colors and 5 twotone 

combinations. The Cadillac 60 Special is also 

distinguished by its graceful flowing lines, its extra 

length and fleet appearance. Symbolic of the distinctive 

marking of the 60 Special, is the new broad decklid V 

and gleaming "Fleetwood" script. Here, too, is value and 

quality beyond all other cars—so distinctively different, 

so refined and elegant—that it has won enthusiastic 

acclaim throughout the world as a motor car unequaled. 

17

CADILLAC FLEETWOOD 

The Cadillac Series 75 is the plus ultimate in the automotive 

fashion world. Long and low—extravagant in 

grace—its exterior appearance presents to perfection an 

exquisite flawless beauty of line. Never before have 

luxurious interior appointments presented such enchantment 

of sophisticated tailoring—every luxury fabric inside 

harmonizes with the gleaming dark elegance of exterior 

design. Never before has such smooth performance, quiet 

comfort and wonderful convenience been available in

cars of this exclusive type and character. Built on a 

chassis wheelbase of 146* to provide the maximum 

interior room, Series 75 cars are powered by the Cadillac 

190-horsepower engine. Available either as an 8-passenger 

limousine with a stationary dividing partition, or as a 

luxurious 8-passenger sedan, this motor car is constructed 

with but one thought in mind—to create an automobile 

for an exacting clientele whose requirements can be 

satisfied by no other motor car now being manufactured.

A NEW CONCEPT IN LUXURY 

The 1952 Cadillac cars present an utterly new concept 

in luxurious interiors. At every hand ... on every side ... 

are features that add a sparkling difference in beauty and 

convenience. Rich colors, fabrics of superb textures 

and jewel-like appointments are blended to create 

settings of unusual charm. Here in the 1952 Cadillac cars, 

is offered a new "Standard of the World" in automotive 

fashions—presented to perfection in flawless workmanship 

and an unequalled, extravagant beauty of line. 

21

IN) 

KJ 

There is a sturdy tradition behind the studied simplicity of 

the Cadillac front compartment. This setting for gracious 

driving comes into its distinctive best in 1952. The instrument 

panel, distinguished by a new gold and brushed silver crest, 

is finished in subtle, sophisticated colors. Highlight of the 

panel is the convenient group of instruments. Instruments and 

SETTING FOR GRACIOUS DRIVING 

other appointments are richly chromed. Other features are 

the extra large steering wheel with sparkling colored plastic 

rim, the easy-to-reach radio controls, smart clock and deep 

glove box. Finishing touches of the front compartment are 

the heavy wool pile carpet and the massive steering columntacket 

which pick up the basic interior colors once more.

COMFORT FOR EVERY PASSENGER 

Cadillac seats are designed for maximum comfort for 

every passenger—based on an engineering knowledge of 

anatomical variations among the riding public. About 

80% of all men and 85% of all women are between 62 

and 72 inches tall. Cadillac interiors have been designed 

with comfort in mind, and the seats have been prepared 

for body posterior contours from reliable data for short 

and tall figures and aligned for the variations in leg 

length and head height to be accommodated. As a part 

of this exacting program, front seats can be moved forward 

or backward 4 inches to accommodate persons of 

various heights . . . die front seat rises as it moves forward.

SERIES 62 CONVERTIBLE COUPE 

PAGEANT OF INTERIOR FASHIONS 

The Cadillac 62 Convertible is radiantly tailored all 

around in genuine leather which protects it with sheer 

enchantment against harsh winds and sun. Five beautiful 

choices of two-tone and solid color leathers are available 

in 1952. Of the five different trim selections, three are 

two-tone combinations of light metallic and darkly 

brilliant leathers of the same color, two are tailored in 

shimmering leather of solid hue. Cadillac interprets one 

interior trim in the flattery of brown combined with 

light tan leather combination, a second in dark and light 

metallic blue, and a third in softly lighted metallic green 

leather coupled with leather of a rich dark green shade. 

Choice number four includes a fashion-future interior of 

solid red leather throughout. For a suave midnight effect 

the Convertible interior may also be trimmed all around 

in fine leathers of solid black. Top material is available in 

four matching colors—black, tan, blue and green.

The two-tone or solid leather tailoring in the Convertible 

Coupe is dramatically carried even to the front seat back. 

In two-tone trim selections, the dark-tone leather bolster 

back contrasts with a recessed center panel of light 

leather. The robe cord is covered in dark leather. Seat 

backs and cushion inserts are trimmed in the leather of 

fine metallic light-tones with diagonal tufting. Wide back 

bolsters and lower seat fronts are fashioned in rich dark 

leathers. The doors are also paneled in diagonally-tufted 

leather of two shades. Where solid red leather or solid 

black leather is selected, seats and door panels are tufted 

in a single color. The Cadillac crest in chrome is mounted 

in the center of each interior door panel. Door and cowl 

kick pads are in beautiful patterned chrome metal. 

25

SERIES 62 COUPE 


The cushions and seat back inserts in the Series 62 Coupe 

are distinguished by deep tufting, styled in light tone 

fabrics of pattern broadcloth or cord. Wide seat backs 

and cushion bolsters are tailored in harmonizing dark 

broadcloth. Four color schemes are available to choose 

from. Dark green is combined with beautiful light-tone 

green. Brown is coupled with tan. Dark blue and a lighter 

blue form another fashionable combination. Delicate 

26

gray tailored with gray of a much darker hue offers 

flattering beauty. Extreme lower seat-facings are protected 

by simulated leather. Door panels are trimmed in 

six-inch pipes of dark broadcloth and sidewall cloth of 

light tone. Hydraulic controls for windows and front 

seat are available as an option. The same striking 

motif is carried into the rear compartment of the Series 

62 Coupe with the traditional skill of Cadillac craftsmen. 

Another luxury and convenience feature is the soft, 

lounge-type center arm rest that folds into the rear seat 

back. It adds to the comfort of the rear seat passengers. 

The front doors and rear compartment sides are equipped 

with arm rests positioned for ease and comfort. The 

wool pile carpeting of fashionable hue, combined with 

other sound-deadening material, minimizes road noise. 

Cadillac rear seats are restful because of the large number of individually 

wrapped and tied coil springs. They are topped by thick fabric 

padding, deep foam rubber and heavy upholstery cloth. Front seats 

in all Cadillac cars, except Series 75, are built up as illustrated 

below with the new type zig-zag springs topped by thick padding.

COUPE DE VILLE 


Here cited for outstanding beauty, the Coupe de Ville 

interior glories in distinguished styling and the fine hand 

of Cadillac tailoring. Highly metallic leather of light 

matching tone graces the diagonally tufted upper seat 

back. Leather bolsters and door panels are regally contrasted 

with a choice of classic dark cord body cloth. 

Four exclusive color combinations are available to choose 

from. A shadow-blue fabric combines with light blue 

metallic leather for a real beauty bonus. Dark gray cord 

body cloth is available with light tone leather. A provocatively 

lovely green cloth with a lighter green leather of 

exciting hue is another choice. An exquisite brown nylon 

fabric with a fashionable tan leather is also available. Each 

of these is the inspired answer to 1952 Coupe de Ville 

interior styling. The rear compartment of the Cadillac 62 

Coupe de Ville is trimmed in smooth and exotic harmony 

with the rest of the car. A large center arm rest and 

side arm rests add to beauty, comfort and convenience. 

Perfect styling and the custom-tailored look are further 

enhanced in this model by chrome roof bows, chrome 

garnish moldings and bright hardware. Hydraulic window 

controls are a convenient feature. Dark tone

SERIES 62 SEDAN 


The interior of the 62 Sedan is softly mannered and 

deftly tailored. Upholstery material is in two-tone combinations 

of dark broadcloth with either cord or patterned 

cloth of light color. Seat back inserts and cushions are 

deeply tufted for exquisite design and the traditional 

Cadillac custom-made look. Doors are trimmed in dark 

broadcloth in six-inch pipes above door panel trim cloth 

of light color. Four height-of-the-season color combinations

gray for an incredibly beautiful combination—rich 

brown broadcloth blended with tan cord or patterned 

cloth—darkly brilliant green that accents a green of 

delicate shade—or lovely pale blue combined with a 

crisp blue of darker hue. A center arm rest and large door 

arm rests enhance the comfort and convenience of this 

fine car. Floors are covered with wool pile carpets which 

harmonize with the upholstery. The go-everywhere 

charm of the Cadillac 62 Sedan continues throughout the

CADILLAC-FLEETWOOD 60 SPECIAL 


There is only one Cadillac-Fleetwood 60 Special—a car 

designed for those whose choice is unrestricted. Distinguished 

appearance and the elusive magic of Cadillac 

interior styling, combine in a finished masterpiece for 

discriminating clientele. Seats and seat back inserts are 

tastefully trimmed in light cord or an alternate choice of 

light tone plain broadcloth. Both are fashioned in 2" 

pipes with tailored welts of contrasting color. Richly 

padded and cushioned bolsters are styled in luxurious 

dark-tone broadcloth. Four beautiful two-tone color 

combinations are available to choose from. They are a 

shadowy dark green upholstery contrasted with a pastel 

green combination, a tawny brown coupled with golden 

tan interior, a trim of dark gray tailored with light gray 

for an incredibly beautiful effect, and a crisp dark blue 

blended with a blue of lighter matching shade. Light-tone

matching leather is tailored into heavily padded door 

pipes to contrast with door side wall broadcloth of 

similar color. All trim combinations in the Cadillac- 

Fleetwood 60 Special are wonderful in conception and 

exquisite in workmanship for regal beauty and comfort. 

Lasting echoes of magnificent Cadillac styling are 

reflected by the tailored appearance of the front seat 

back. Dark leather robe cords, roll ash receiver of 

chrome, and endlessly useful chrome assist-handles 

accent the careful detail inherent in Cadillac cars. 

Examples of the light tone and darkly brilliant motif are 

the 2" light-tone leather seat back pipes harmonizing with 

light-tone broadcloth. Lower seat bottoms and seat sides 

are faced in dark leather for lasting beauty. The exquisite 

styling of the Cadillac-Fleetwood 60 Special also carries 

into the front compartment. Jewel-like front hardware 

is grouped in an attractive panel insert. Window moldings 

are of sparkling chrome. Arm rests are integral with 

the door panels. This is a new feature for '52. The metal 

door and cowl kick pads are attractively styled. Hydraulic 

window controls are another convenience feature.

FRAMEWORK FOR LUXURY 

THE 1952 CADILLAC BODY 

The Cadillac body for 1952 is designed and built, not 

only for style and beauty, but for safety, durability, 

quietness and riding comfort. It is little Wonder that the 

Cadillac body contributes so much to the owner's motoring 

enjoyment and peace of mind, for it is the result of 

matured designing, planned far in advance and steadily 

refined. An experienced styling team works in close cooperation 

on the CadiDac body to be sure that new styles 

are natural advances from previous models—and Cadillac 

owners are protected, both in pride of ownership and in 

real dollar value, because previous models of Cadillac are 

not quickly outmoded. All Cadillac bodies are built by 

Fisher, a General Motors Division, in the exclusive 

Cadillac Fleetwood plant, under strict and exclusive 

Cadillac quality control methods. Cadillac bodies also 

bear the imprint of Cadillac engineers and stylists who 

work with General Motors and Fisher Body designers. 

This team has created for Cadillac a beauty and a design 

that sets the "Standard of the World" -in luxury cars.

CADILLAC BODY STRENGTH- 

A SAFEGUARD FOR PROTECTION! 

Greater protection for Cadillac owners and their families

foundation. A rigid steel floor, reinforced by sturdy ribbed 

sections, is welded to box-girder steel members. Body 

pillars and steel uprights are also of box-girder construction. 

The Turret-Top is reinforced by double-ribbed steel 

bows and arc-welded into this assembly. This is a framework 

of tested strength . . . built for greater protection. 

41

WIDER, UNOBSTRUCTED VISION 

The wide, one-piece Cadillac windshield and windows 

provide full, unhampered vision and reduce reflections for 

easier driving. The deep curve of the windshield provides 

vision from side to side—where vision really counts. 

Wide, clear window areas are similarly provided all 

around the car—and are placed to provide the maximum 

safety and convenience for both driver and passenger. The 

rear side window areas are generous, and do much to 

solve the problem of "blind spots" in motor car driving. 

Tinted "E-Z-Eye" glass is available for all window areas 

as an option at extra cost in all 1952 Cadillacs. Its tinted 

blue plastic, set between layers of Polished Plate glass, 

assures a minimum of eye strain under all driving conditions, 

and virtually eliminates annoying road glare. It 

also shuts out a high percentage of the sun's radiant heat 

waves, thus assuring lower interior temperatures in hot 

weather. Night driving, too, is greatly improved with 

"E-Z-Eye" glass—for it greatly reduces the glare of 

approaching headlights. The .*'E-Z-Eye" windshield is 

graduated from top down in its density, thus giving 

Cadillac passengers unusual protection from the sun. 

42

LARGE REAR VENTI-PANES 

Seen here from the interior, the large rear venti-panes 

afford excellent vision. Each individually controlled 

rear ventilation window provides air circulation without 

allowing disturbing drafts to enter the car. 

The extra-large Cadillac rear window is curved to the 

contours of the body to provide better rear-view visibility. 

43

DURABLE DOOR CONSTRUCTION 

Cadillac doors are formed from two heavy steel panels, 

welded into a self-reinforcing, box-like assembly. These 

rigid doors" are precision hung with tough steel hinges. 

Every detail in the 1952 Cadillac cars has been carefully 

designed for comfort, convenience, protection and beauty. 

44

Cadillac's advanced-type door check-links are designed for 

double service to hold doors positively in open position .. • 

and to help counterbalance the doors for easier opening. 

Sedan rear doors are fitted 

with door locks adjusted to disengage 

from the inside door 

handle. This safety feature 

safeguards children. When the 

doors are shut and the inside 

locking-knobs are pressed 

down (see photos), they cannot 

be opened from the inside.

CADILLAC VENTILATING SYSTEM 

The Cadillac All-Weather Ventilating System incorporates 

a three-fold heating, ventilating and defrosting 

system. The components consist of a re-circulating hot 

water heater located under the front seat, and a large 

heater-defroster unit mounted under the car hood. Series 

75 cars have two additional under-rear-seat heaters.

The floor and lower portions of the car are heated by the 

underseat unit. The upper portion is kept warm by the 

heater-defroster unit. The entire system is designed to 

provide driving comfort in all kinds of weather. For 

example, it provides cool, fresh air in summer and heated 

fresh air for winter driving. Cool or warm, the fresh air is 

gently pressure-circulated throughout the car interior. 

The Cadillac All-Weather System is supplied with fresh 

air drawn into the car from outside. It builds up air pressure 

within the car body. Thus, air leakage is from the 

inside out and cold drafts from the outside are ehminated. 

A complete outline of instructions for operating the 

Cadillac heating system is contained in the Cadillac 

Owner's Manual to be found in the glove compartment of 

every new Cadillac car. A tag also bears instructions. 

The Cadillac Deluxe heating system defrosts vital rear 

window areas with an effective back window defroster/

KEYNOTE OF THE 1952 CHASSIS . . . 

SAFETY AND OWNER SATISFACTION 

The many advantages and features of the 1952 Cadillac 

chassis may be summarized in terms of safety and 

lasting satisfaction. Now more than ever, the Cadillac 

chassis is engineered for greater riding pleasure, safety, 

comfort, readability, and new, improved handling ease. 

All components of this sturdy Cadillac chassis have been 

especially designed and engineered for great strength and 

perfect coordination. Skilled Cadillac craftsmen have 

produced and assembled these components with the 

highest possible loyal regard for quality workmanship. 

Without a doubt, the superb Cadillac chassis is one important 

reason why Cadillac has become so widely known 

as the "Standard of the World" in motor car values.

I-BEAM, X-TYPE FRAME 

The rugged Cadillac frame supports and holds in their 

proper position virtually all other major parts of the car. 

It is built up from extra-strong side rails, joined together 

with a rugged I-beam, X-member, to provide a stronger 

backbone for the power, transmission and suspension units. 

The center section of the "double-drop" Cadillac frame 

makes possible the beautiful Cadillac low body silhouette, 

low center of gravity, excellent stability, easier handling. 

FRONT SPRING SUSPENSION 

Cadillac individual front wheel spring suspension is 

relieved of all braking and driving duties and functions 

to "level out" bumps in the road without transmitting 

road shocks to the steering system or the car body. 

A direct-acting, high-volume, variable control shock 

absorber is mounted within each coil spring. Each shock 

absorber has a small metering orifice for smooth city 

streets, a pressure blow-off spring for rough roads, and a 

restriction for cross country or unusually rough roads.

REAR "SEA LEG" SHOCK ABSORBERS 

For a combination that further adds to riding comfort— 

Cadillac's angle-mounted, rear shock absorbers control 

side-to-side movement at the rear of the car and cushion 

road shocks. Engineered to control spring action, the 

result is boulevard riding comfort over the roughest roads. 

HOTCHKISS DRIVE 

Hotchkiss Drive, a Cadillac chassis feature, provides an 

easier ride, protects the mechanism, and isolates road 

shocks from the car body. Passenger comfort is increased 

by Hotchkiss Drive because the driving force is transmitted 

and cushioned through the splay-mounted rear 

springs, which are equipped with "spread shackles" to 

reduce lateral movement. Less tire noise is transmitted 

to the sturdy body with this Cadillac chassis feature. 

53

PARALLEL LINK STEERING 

Cadillac Parallel Link steering provides steering stability 

at all speeds. It is the most accurately designed steering 

system in the industry. A short turning radius and absolutely 

accurate steering geometry are among its features. 

And Cadillac steering is not affected by road variations. 

Due to Parallel Link steering, the Cadillac system maintains 

absolutely accurate steering geometry. Steering 

wheel shock and "fight" are minimized. Front wheels 

return to straight ahead position when car is in motion 

and turning pressure on steering wheel is released. 

54

EXTRA-WIDE EXTRA-SAFE WHEELS . . • 

AND LOW PRESSURE TIRES 

Cadillac "slotted-disc" wheels with extra-wide and extrasafe 

rims are especially designed to take full advantage 

of extra low-pressure tires. Cadillac's extra low-pressure 

tires, which hold more air at lower pressure than ordinary 

low-pressure tires, provide more "tire-to-pavement" 

contacting area for better starting and stopping traction. 

There is less wear, greater safety, less heating and 

more cushioning effect, thus giving a much smoother ride. 

ADVANTAGES 

Softer, smoother, quieter ride. Better traction and 

road stability. Less driving fatigue. Easy steering. Coolerrunning. 

Less impact damage because low pressure 

absorbs road shock. Fewer repair bills, rattles, squeaks. 

Quiet operation at all speeds. Increased tire mileage. 

GREATER FLEXIBILITY GIVES SOFTER RIDING ACTION 

NOTE how regular tire tends to 

lump when striking obstacles in road. 

NOTE how deluxe, low-pressure 

tire "absorbs" obstacles in road.

NEW CADILLAC POWER STEERING 

Cadillac's power steering, a grand new 1952 alliance of 

the proven Cadillac steering system and a hydraulic 

booster system, is the latest, safest and most modern 

engineering innovation in sheer effortless driving. 

This wonderful new traveling companion accomplishes 

all of the former hard work of steering and brings to the 

automotive industry a pleasant adventure in smooth 

freedom-from-effort for driving and parking. Ladies 

among Cadillac drivers will discover that power steering 

makes even the longest and heaviest Cadillac easy to turn 

... easy to park... and easy to maneuver in heavy traffic. 

Better still, power steering permits the Cadillac driver to 

retain the true "feel" of steering, and it does not change

the owner's driving habits. All emphasis in the design of 

this safe, new unit has been targeted on comfort, true 

economy of driving motion and effortless pea-king. The 

maximum effort required to turn or park a Cadillac with 

power steering now amounts to only a few pounds of 

pressure by the driver on the rim of the steering wheel. 

An attractive feature of Cadillac's new power steering is 

the fact that it does not assist in steering until a steering 

effort of greater than 3 pounds is required of the driver. 

Thus, in all normal driving, steering is accomplished in a 

low-effort range of from zero to 8 pounds on the wheeL 

Another advantage of the new system is that it retains 

the proven Cadillac steering ratio of 25.47 to 1, which is 

the same as that used on 1952 manual steering gears. 

Thus, the new 1952 Cadillac power steering may be manually 

operated at all times with or without the engine running. 

Unique in the Cadillac power steering system is the great 

reduction of steering effort from 50 pounds down to a 

few pounds—plus the realization that the driver is still 

steering the car. This can be illustrated by driving on a 

curve. As long as the driver holds the wheel, the car follows 

the path he has directed. Cadillac power steering 

does not steer beyond the path set by the driver. For 

example, if the driver removes his hands from the steering 

wheel—his power steered Cadillac car will right itself and 

follow a straight path as it does with manual steering. 

The new system is so designed that there is no hydraulic 

assistance under very light steering conditions, such as 

the slight maneuvering required to steer on a straight 

road. Another safety factor inherent in Cadillac's power 

steering unit is that the hydraulic system, in addition to 

acting as a booster, also resists kickback or "road shock" 

and provides the driver with positive control of the car. 

Power steering is available as an option at extra cost 

on all Cadillac cars equipped with Hydra-Matic.

NEW 1952 BRAKE DRUMS AND 

THICKER BRAKE LININGS 

All 1952 Cadillac cars are equipped with brakes of improved 

brake-drum design for better cooling and longer 

brake life. The new brake drums are ribbed to dissipate 

heat and cool rapidly, thus minimizing distortion and 

loss of braking power. The new drum back has a stiffer 

contour which keeps the drum in even contact with the 

shoes. Brake life has been doubled by the addition of 

new thicker, longer-lasting brake linings on all models. 

New also for 1952, are larger 12" diameter front brake 

drums on Series 60 Special and Series 62 Cadillac cars. 

The outer circumference of Cadillac brake drums are ribbed for better 

cooling. They are effectively sealed against water, mud or dust for 

longer brake life. A stiffer drum back helps to reduce drum deflection. 

58

Component parts of the power train include the new Hydra- 

Matic transmission. A second and alternate component is 

the famous Cadillac Synchro-Mesh transmission standard 

on Series 75 cars as well as Cadillac commercial cars. 

Other important components of the Cadillac power train 

are the precision-built, tubular propeller shaft, and full 

needle-bearing universal joints. These are designed to 

give much longer life and smooth, vibrationless operation. 

Also part of the power train is Cadillac's semi-floating 

rear axles, with Hypoid gears. These gears are cut so that 

the driving pinion meshes with the ring gear, well below 

the center line of the differential. This accounts for the 

lower drive-shaft, lower floors and almost unnoticeable 

tunnel in the floor of the car. A new ribbed carrier for the 

hypoid gears is a 1952 feature. It provides a more rigid 

mounting and improved oiling. It reduces rear axle noise. 

ALTERNATE REAR AXLE RATIO AVAILABLE 

Cadillac Series 62 and Series 60 Special cars are built at 

the factory with a rear axle ratio of 3.36:1 which provides 

excellent "get away" and wonderful performance. However 

many Cadillac owners may prefer an alternate rear 

axle ratio of 3.07:1 and, upon request only, cars will be 

built with this alternate ratio. The 3^07:1 alternate rear 

axle ratio offers economy of as much as % of a mile more 

per gallon in city driving, as much as from 1 to 2 miles 

more per gallon for country driving—depending upon 

the driver. At higher cruising, the 3.07:1 rear axle also 

offers lower and quieter engine speeds.

The spotlight of Cadillac engineering progress moves 

rapidly forward, and following in its path is the shadow 

of obsolescence, creeping over and obscuring yesterday's 

best. A head-on view of the powerful 1952 Cadillac 

engine reveals its low silhouette. As brilliant as the past 

performance of Cadillac engines has been, the 1952 

engine surpasses its history-making V-type predecessors. 

61

A FAMOUS CADILLAC ENGINE 

MADE EVEN BETTER 

FOR 1952 

It is a well-known fact that it is Cadillac that writes the 

history of V-type engines in America. In 1914, America's 

first V-type automotive engine was introduced by 

Cadillac. In the following 37 years a whole series of 

Cadillac superlative motor car power plants were built— 

every one of which maintained the basic virtues of the 

V-type design. This year, Cadillac is proud to present the 

greatest of all of its V-type engines. This new, 190-horsepower, 

high-compression overhead-valve engine continues 

to set new standards for the entire automotive world. 

With the 1949 model, Cadillac startled the automobile 

industry with an engine which could be built smaller and 

more compact, to weigh less per horsepower delivered,

and cost less per horsepower obtained. The new idea to 

the industry at that time was the introduction of a shortstroke, 

large-bore engine for minimum frictional losses 

and maximum efficiency. Each year, Cadillac engineers 

have improved this 1949 version . . . until today, in 1952, 

the product of tireless Cadillac research and effort is 

the highest development yet achieved in automotive power! 

This year Cadillac presents its improved creative masterpiece 

with even greater pride—a more powerful, far finer 

version of the traditional Cadillac V-type engine, already 

acknowledged the finest automotive engine in the world. 

The 1952 Cadillac power plant, like all V-type engines 

ever built in this country, owes much to the famous 

Cadillac engines which have borne the Cadillac name 

during the past 37 years. Through all the intervening 

years, Cadillac alone has concentrated exclusively on 

building America's finest automobile—and all have been 

powered by V-type engines. Today more and more auto 

manufacturers are turning to the obvious advantages of 

V-type power plants. As they do, it becomes apparent 

that no one in all the automotive world can approach the 

problem with the knowledge, background and millions 

of miles of experience which are Cadillac's heritage.

LOOKING AT THE CADILLAC ENGINE FROM ABOVE 

MILES AND YEARS OF TESTING 

It is an undeniable fact that no motor car engine ever 

built has back of it a history of development, testing and 

achievement, that is comparable to that of this new 190- 

horsepower Cadillac power plant. Its basic design, in 

addition to laboratory tests, has been proved over a 

period of 37 years in the hands of the world's most exacting 

motorists. In the course of testing, the 1952 Cadillac 

engine, like all of the models that have preceded it, has 

been exposed to every conceivable strain and hazard— 

sustained high speeds on the road; pulling tests up grades 

as steep as 27%; mud roads designed to draw everything 

out of an engine; water baths that search out any weak 

spots. Those who know best—test drivers and experimental 

engine specialists—say without reservation that 

the new 190-horsepower Cadillac engine is more powerful, 

more durable, more efficient than any stock car engine 

ever built—including the great previous Cadillac engines. 

68

THE CADILLAC V-TYPE 

OVERHEAD-VALVE ENGINE 

The many advanced features of the 1952 Cadillac engine 

literally establish it as the new "Standard of the World" 

in motor car engines. This great V-type overhead valve 

engine of smaller over-all size, larger cylinder bore and 

a shorter piston stroke was first introduced in 1949. 

The advanced features of this Cadillac engine are many. 

Among these is an overhead-valve combustion chamber 

design which assures controlled burning of the compressed 

fuel-air mixture to create a uniform power-thrust for 

maximum performance and combustion smoothness. 

Each year since 1949, Cadillac engineers have made a 

series of improvements in this grand power plant, and 

the Cadillac engine has had a lower heat loss and greater 

cooling efficiency than most engines. This factor is 

inherent in the basic 1949 design to the effect that 12% 

less cylinder wear area is exposed to flame than in previous 

Cadillac engines. This means longer engine life. 

There are five main crankshaft bearings in the Cadillac 

190-horsepower engine. They are placed in heavy bulkheads 

which help form a rigid box-like crankcase structure. 

This feature is partially responsible for creating the 

smoothest, quietest-running Cadillac engine ever built. 

Other factors contributing to smooth, quiet operation include 

a valve mechanism with high ridigity factors, 

hydraulic valve lifters and a minimum of air cleaner and 

exhaust system noises for greater passenger convenience. 

The Cadillac engine for 1952 is a culmination resulting 

from years of research both in laboratory and on the road. 

It will take only a few minutes of your time—with your 

foot on the accelerator—to prove that Cadillac has again 

given the world a new standard for automotive engines.

NEW CADILLAC 

FOUR-BARREL CARBURETOR 

For added mileage, better performance and the safety 

and convenience of smooth and rapid acceleration— 

Cadillac presents a new, four-barrel carburetor of advanced 

design. This new unit, in combination with 

Cadillac's new unrestricted engine intake and dual 

exhaust manifolding, is partly responsible for the high 

output of the Cadillac 190-horsepower engine for 1952. 

Important to Cadillac owners is the extremely high efficiency 

of the four-barrel downdraft carburetor. It almost 

doubles the intake capacity of the old style dual-throated 

carburetor found on many cars. This new carburetor helps 

provide instant response and rapid acceleration of the car 

at the driver's every need or whim. Although rarely 

needed, the same power reserve and rapid acceleration 

response of the car is now available at higher speeds. In 

operation, this four-barrel "carburetor of tomorrow" 

—made available today for Cadillac owners—works in 

two sets of dual-barrel carburetors mounted on the engine 

in tandem. The forward dual-barrel unit is the basic operating 

or "primary" carburetor. The aft dual-barrel unit 

is the "booster" or "secondary" carburetor, and comes 

into play as needed. At low speeds, the engine works 

from the primary carburetor. In driving emergencies on 

the highway, or when sparkling acceleration is required

in city driving, the secondary carburetor comes into 

action by additional pressure on the accelerator pedal. 

The result is smooth, powerful and satisfying acceleration. 

No noticeable "bump" is felt by the driver at the 

entrance of the secondary carburetor into engine use. 

Better, smoother performance in the top half of speedometer 

ranges requires a larger quantity of fuel-air mixture 

rather than a richer mixture. One of the major 

advantages of the new Cadillac four-barrel downdraft 

carburetor is that the "secondary" carburetor permits 

the engine cylinders to be packed more effectively due to 

the higher pressure in the intake manifold at the beginning 

of the compression stroke before the intake valve is closed. 

At low car speeds the engine does not get into four barrel 

operation. The bulk of driving and road load is handled 

by the "primary" carburetor. The brand new motoring 

thrill of instant acceleration from Cadillac four-barrel 

carburetion comes into play as it is needed. 

Cadillac engineers have also made improvements in the 

carburetor automatic choke control for quick starts in 

cold weather. The new four-barrel carburetor uses hot 

exhaust gases taken from the engine exhaust manifold to 

pre-heat quickly the fuel-air mixture in the carburetor 

idle-tubes and intake manifold when the engine is being 

operated in cold weather. This warming of the idle system 

helps prevent the formation of ice in the carburetor on 

cool humid days and eliminates annoying engine stalling. 

The fuel-air mixture when warmed ignites faster and 

burns more completely to provide smooth performance in 

starting and driving a cold engine. As the engine warms 

and the need for pre-heating is reduced, the hot gases 

are then returned directly to the engine exhaust system. 

ADVANTAGES 

• Quick starts in cold weather. • Freedom from stalling. 

• Greater fuel economy. • More power and speed. • More 

rigid construction. • Smooth and ultra-fast acceleration.

NEW 45-AMPERE EXTRUDED-FRAME 

GENERATOR 

Cadillac owners will have ample current for all electrical 

equipment from the new Cadillac generator output of 45 

amperes. This new generator is of the latest extrudedframe 

type and is of more rugged construction for 1952. 

NEW HIGH-CAPACITY CARBURETOR 

AIR CLEANER 

For 1952, the high-capacity carburetor air cleaner has 

been re-designed to direct a greater flow of air into the 

carburetor for better engine breathing. As in past years, 

the air cleaner is the heavy duty oil-bath type to provide 

efficient air filtering. This year the air cleaner is mounted 

with a center stud to improve sealing at the carburetor.

NEW LARGER EXHAUST VALVES 

To permit free breathing and better exhaust, larger 

exhaust valves of special alloy steel permit hot gases to 

escape rapidly from the cylinders. Valves in the Cadillac 

engine are spaced so that cooling water is circulated completely 

around valve ports. This improves efficiency. 

NEW WIDER "FREE-FLOW" EXHAUST PORTS 

In the 1952 Cadillac engine, the valve ports are wider and 

smoother with very low restrictions to permit free passage 

of gases withînimum heat transfe? into the pons. 

Cadillac's exhaust valve-and-port arrangement contributes 

to the rapid passage of gas mixtures directly into 

and out of the cylinders, also improving efficiency.

HEW DUAL-EXHAUST SYSTEM 

Each bank of four cylinders in the 1952 Cadillac engine, 

exhausts directly into separate manifolds—one on each 

side of the engine. The exhaust gases are carried away 

rapidly through larger, improved manifold passages. 

74

©02I9S ? 

Cadillac for 1952 offers twin-exhaust manifolding, twin 

mufflers, twin resonators, and twin tailpipes. This new 

system results in less back-pressure on the engine and 

contributes greatly to increased performance of the car. 

75

SCIENTIFICALLY DESIGNED CYLINDER 

HEAD AND COMBUSTION CHAMBERS 

The Cadillac engine is basically designed for compression 

ratios as high as 12 to 1. Such ratios are not practical 

today because of the limitations imposed by the type of 

premium gasolines generally available. The engine is 

designed to operate efficiently on fuels available everywhere 

and much of the efficiency of this engine may be 

credited to the high-compression design of the combustion 

chamber in the cylinder head. The compact shape of this 

chamber increases turbulence, shortens the flame travel 

and helps cool the last portion of the burning mixture to 

dampen "knock" and give smoother engine performance. 

COMBUSTION SMOOTHNESS 

The illustration indicates the compact shape of the combustion 

chamber. The flame front progresses evenly 

across the combustion chamber. This means uniform pressure 

on the piston head and a smooth delivery of power. 

Detonation is limited by the "quenching effect" of the 

small clearance area between the piston and the combustion 

chamber at a point opposite the spark plug. Complete 

burning of the fuel-air mixture is thus accomplished.

RUGGED CYLINDER-BLOCK 

CONSTRUCTION 

The rigid, box-like construction of the 

powerful 1952 Cadillac cylinder block 

distributes power stresses evenly throughout 

the special high-strength, grey-iron 

alloy casting. Five sturdy main bearing 

bulkheads, and heavy ribbing between 

these webs, relieve the metal of all 

internal stresses ordinarily encountered 

in high-compression automobile engines. 

WELL-DESIGNED PISTON-CRANKSHAFT 

ASSEMBLY 

Vital to good engine performance is a well-designed piston 

and crankshaft assembly. The use of small, light, 

scientifically designed engine parts is one effective 

method of reducing friction and weight in the Cadillac 

engine. The shorter engine design, introduced by Cadillac 

in 1949, increases the number of bearing supports from 

three to five and reduces the size and weight of crankshaft 

and camshaft. The 5 main-bearing crankshaft has great 

rigidity and great torsional resistance, which also increases 

engine smoothness and quietness in operation. 

77

,¾ PI * 1' 1* 1 Wt| i 1 "| ||"| 11 

SHORT, RIGID CAMSHAFT FOR 

SMOOTH, QUIET PERFORMANCE 

All Cadillac camshafts are machined from high alloy 

castings. The cam and hearing surfaces are specially 

treated to give them permanent friction-resisting qualities. 

Five bearing supports provide the short rugged 

Cadillac camshaft an even more rigid mounting, thereby 

mamtaining precision split-second timing of the valves. 

SUPPER-TYPE PISTONS 

REDUCE FRICTION 

Cadillac pistons feature the slipper-type 

skirt in which part of the skirt is cut 

away to reduce both weight and friction 

in the engine. This design allows the use 

of a short connecting rod of great 

strength. Cadillac pistons nest into the 

crankshaft counterweights. The light 

weight of these aluminum alloy pistons 

reduces inertia when the engine is operating 

at high speeds and permits faster 

acceleration. A special heavy-duty 

Cadillac oil ring increases oil mileage. 

RUGGED I-BEAM CONNECTING RODS 

Cadillac connecting rods are short, strong and rigid. All 

thrust surfaces are ground and highly polished to reduce 

friction to the minimum. For extra strength they are 

formed in I-Beam section for longer, trouble-free life.

LIGHTWEIGHT OVERHEAD 

VALVE MECHANISM 

In the 1952 Cadillac engine, lightweight, 

rigid overhead valve mechanism actuated 

by hydraulic valve lifters insures 

accurate tuning and quiet operation. 

Hydraulic valve silencers assure that 

there is no clearance space between the 

tappet and the valve mechanism parts. 

Valve reconditioning, necessitated in 

most instances by incorrect valve-tappet 

clearance, is reduced by Cadillac to a 

minimum, resulting in longer valve life. 

FULL-PRESSURE ENGINE 

LUBRICATION 

The life of the 190-horsepower Cadillac 

engine is prolonged by the effectiveness 

of its full-pressure engine lubrication 

system which pumps oil, under pressure, from the crankcase 

directly to the overhead valve assembly, and to the 

bearings of the crankshaft, camshaft, connecting rods and 

rocker shafts. A positive jet of oil is delivered by the system 

to the cylinder walls and to the piston pin bearings. 

79

NEW IGNITION WIRING 

The ignition system of the 190-horsepower engine is protected 

against moisture and water splash by the addition 

of new neoprene spark-plug boots, which are integral with 

the high-tension wires. Improved ignition wiring brackets 

and new terminals for both the distributor and spark-plug 

ends of ignition wiring have been added on all cars. 

NEW "FREE-FLOW" INTAKE MANIFOLD 

The breathing efficiency of the 1952 Cadillac engine has 

also been greatly improved by the development of a new 

intake manifold of balanced design. The 1952 manifold 

has larger and smoother passages than ever before and it 

is designed to deliver exactly uniform charges of fuel-air 

mixture to the cylinders for even greater efficiency.

COOLING SYSTEM 

OF ADVANCED DESIGN 

The Cadillac engine is cooler in operation 

because its compact bank of cylinders 

makes it necessary for cooling 

water to travel only a short distance to 

reach the farthest cylinder. Also, the 

cylinder wall and combustion chamber 

area, in contact with cooling water, is 

small. This means an over-all lessening 

of heat transfer to the cooling water— 

thus more heat energy developed is 

available for power. Proper temperatures 

for all operating conditions are an 

inherent part of Cadillac cooling system 

design. The system warms up quickly 

and evenly because each cylinder wall is 

completely surrounded by the coolant. 

An integral casting, comprising waterpump 

housing and inlet and outlet 

water manifolds, eliminates all hose connections 

except one running to the lower 

and one to the upper radiator tanks. 

Because of low friction and low 

heat losses in the Cadillac engine, 

a small, light radiator is used. 

Each cylinder in the engine is 

completely surrounded over its 

entire length by cooling water. 

Arrows indicate the path of water through the 

cylinder heads as it cools valve seats and guides.

THE NEWEST KIND 

OF EFFORTLESS DRIVING 

Cadillac introduces with its Golden Anniversary models 

a new Hydra-Matic Drive. This new unit retains all of the 

advantages of the Hydra-Matic transmission developed 

over the past decade, plus new flexibility, better performance, 

and a higher degree of economy than before. 

Simply stated, this new transmission has two driving 

ranges instead of one—a range for the open road and a 

range for congested city traffic and mountainous driving. 

The quadrant selector dial, located just above the horn 

button, provides for five positions of the lever—"Neutral," 

two "Drive" positions, "Low" and "Reverse." 

Starting from "Neutral," the first driving position is the 

one to be manually selected for all normal driving requirements. 

It provides four forward gear ratios. These are 

automatically selected for maximum efficiency according 

84

to the pressure exerted on the accelerator pedal and the 

speed of the car. Fourth gear, which is the norma) running 

position after the car has gained momentum, has a ratio 

of 1 to 1. This results in exceptionally low engine speed 

compared to car speed, giving increased economy, 

smoother, quieter operation, lower oil consumption, and 

less wear on engine parts. This lower engine speed can 

make driving much more pleasing at higher car speeds. 

The second driving position locks out the fourth gear up 

to 75 miles per hour. This results in better acceleration in 

traffic and faster ''step-down" acceleration when the 

accelerator is put to the floor board, because advantage 

is taken of a low gear ratio. Tt is the range best suited for 

ascending and descending steep grades where traffic signs 

call for shifting into lower gears, because the transmission

will not "hunt between third and fourth going up a hill, 

and more engine braking is provided going down hill. 

The control lever may be moved at will between these two 

positions when traveling at any car speed below 70 miles 

per hour. Thus, by providing the most efficient transmission 

ratio for any requirement, coupled with today's 

highly advanced engine, Cadillac for 1952 offers brilliant 

performance with greater flexibility in traffic than ever 

before. Another over-all improvement in driving pleasure 

is obtained in the new Hydra-Matic transmission 

because, by operating at lower oil temperature and 

viscosity, there is decidedly less variation in "shift feel." 

The step-down shift from 4th to 3rd gear can be made by 

depressing the accelerator pedal completely for passing 

or for extra bursts of speed at car speeds of less than 65 

miles per hour. The step-down shift from 3rd to 2nd gear 

can be made at any car speed below 25 miles per hour. 

In former Hydra-Matic drives, the step-down from 3rd 

gear to 2nd gear was limited to below 12 miles per hour. 

In the new Hydra-Matic greatly improved emergency 

acceleration is provided in., the.12 to 25 mph speed range. 

Engine braking characteristics of the new transmission 

have been greatly improved over former automatic transmission 

designs. By placing the selector at the second

driving range, the transmission is held in third gear, thus 

giving adequate braking for moderate down grades at 

speeds below 70 miles per hour. 

For extremely steep grades, the selector may be set at 

"LO," to hold the transmission in second gear position 

for maximum braking at speeds below 40 miles per hour. 

Thus, with the complete combination of today's high 

performance engine, and new Hydra-Matic, the following 

improved results are obtained: 

• GREATER DRIVER AND PASSENGER COMFORT. 

• INCREASED PERFORMANCE. 

• QUIETER, SMOOTHER OPERATION. 

• OVER-RUN BRAKING NEVER BEFORE AVAIL 

ABLE IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. 

• A COOLER OPERATING UNIT. 

• FEWER SERVICE PROBLEMS. 

• COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE SHIFTING 

IF DESIRED.

SIGNAL SEEKING RADIO 

WITH REAR SPEAKER—The signal 

seeking radio with rear 

speaker and automatic station 

selector is available. Foot tuning 

control can be added. It is 

one of the most modern car 

radios available. 

THE AUTOMATIC PUSH BUT 

TON RADIO—With elliptical 

speaker, offers fine reception 

under all conditions. Station 

selector buttons are easily set on 

the "push-pull" lock-up tuner 

which is the smoothest and most 

accurate mechanical tuner ever 

developed for any car radio. 

SPOTLIGHTS—Right-hand or 

left-hand mounted spotlights are 

designed with a built-in rear 

view mirror—enabling the 

driver to adjust the mirror from 

inside the car. Both left and 

right spotlights add distinctive 

beauty to the 1952 Cadillac car. 

91

AUTOMATIC HEATING SYSTEM—The Cadillac Automatic 

Heating System consists of one underseat heater, 

a defroster with an outside air inlet on the left side of the 

front compartment. In addition the Deluxe Model for 

Series 60 Special, and Series 62 cars (except Convertible), 

includes a rear window blower for defogging the rear 

window. The Deluxe Model for Series 75 cars has three 

underseat heaters and also includes a rear window 

blower for defogging this vital rear-window area. 

FOG LAMPS—The new 1952 Cadillac fog lamps improve 

visibility under adverse weather conditions. 

These fog lamps also incorporate the turn-signal lights. 

The location of the front compartment control switch 

for the fog lamps depends upon whether Signal Seeking 

or Automatic Push Button radio is used.

PARATWILL SEAT COVERS—Cadillac seat covers for 

1952 have been restyled. The Rayon-Cotton Paratwill 

line is available in three patterns. The first, a two-tone 

stripe pattern is available in green, blue or maroon with 

bolster in solid matching color. Solid colors of green, blue 

or maroon with self-woven stripes are also available. The 

new Neoline Paratwill pattern comes in two-tone colors 

of blue, maroon or green with bolster of solid color. 

PLASTIC COVERS—Are available in two distinct patterns 

and a range of three color combinations. An over-all 

diamond-cross pattern is available in either blue, 

green or maroon with a solid colored bolster of Paratwill. 

A houndstooth pattern is also available in a choice of 

green, blue or maroon. This pattern has a black simulated 

leather bolster with channel design. 

TARTAN PLAID SEAT COVERS—Are fabricated from 

100% durable double-twist rayon. A green and gray 

plaid with green Paratwill bolster is an attractive choice. 

Other color combinations available include blue and gray 

plaid with blue Paratwill bolster and a maroon and 

gray plaid combination with maroon Paratwill bolster. 

95

WINDSHIELD WASHER—The Cadillac windshield 

washer is not only a convenience but also a safety accessory. 

It sprays two jets of clean water or solvent on the 

windshield so that mud, slush or insects may be removed 

by the windshield wipers. The tank is filled with Cadillac 

Solvent and water in winter or summer. Finger-tip 

pressure on button in the center of the windshield wiper 

control starts a pump which gives immediate action. 

LICENSE PLATE FRAMES—These Cadillac license plate 

frames enhance the appearance of the license plates, 

cover their sharp edges and protect them from weathering. 

Chrome-flashed, these attractive frames sell in pairs. 

96

CADILLAC WHEEL DISCS—The easily installed Cadillac 

wheel discs have been designed to add even more beauty 

to the car. They increase eye appeal by making each 

wheel a "mirror bright" circle of chrome-flashed stainless 

steel. A set consists of four discs 15 inches in diameter. The 

Cadillac Crest at the center further enhances their beauty. 

CADILLAC WHEEL TRIM RINGS 

Enable the owner to build up 

the eye appeal of the wheels. 

Whether the car is in motion or 

standing still, the trim rings add 

to the over-all impression of 

Cadillac smartness. The trim 

rings are fabricated from durable 

and heavy stainless steel. 

CADILLAC BLUE CORAL—During the past 20 years, the 

Cadillac Blue Coral Treatment goes far beyond ordinary 

wash and polish or waxing. It cleans away dirt, grime 

and traffic film. It restores the original beauty of the 

finish and then seals it with a lustrous, glass-hard enduring 

protective coating. It may be applied in the Service 

Department 1 or is available for individual application.

CADILLAC CARE FOR CADILLAC CARS 

The Cadillac Service Policy 

The thorough and exacting attention to detail with which 

Cadillac cars are built, extends to Cadillac service which 

is planned to build lasting satisfaction. Every authorized 

Cadillac dealer has a personal interest in keeping each 

Cadillac car at its best. Recognizing its obligation to 

Cadillac owners, Cadillac has developed a rigidly enforced 

service policy which assures the owner certain benefits, 

regardless of the age of his car. This Cadillac service 

policy provides for prompt, efficient service everywhere 

throughout the country. Moreover, Cadillac dealers are 

proud to adhere to this policy of competent, friendly 

service and proud to provide genuine Cadillac service 

performed by skilled, trained servicemen. For the convenience 

of Cadillac owners, a listing of the geographical 

points where genuine Cadillac service is available has 

been included in the 1952 Cadillac Owner's Manual to be 

found in the glove compartment of every Cadillac car.

POINTERS ON SETTING 

THE GREATEST SATISFACTION fROU 

TOUR OOLOEN ANNIVERSARY 

Into your new Cadillac have been built the finest, the most 

satisfying, and the most advanced features of automatic 

operation ever assembled into an automobile. You will sense 

this the moment you take the wheel of your new Cadillac. 

You will find that the new 190-horsepower engine meets 

every demand in a way you have never before experienced. 

You will find, too, a new thrill in the improved, Cadillac 

Hydra-Matic transmission that "takes over" once your car 

is in motion; in the ease of steering that enables you to thread 

1

mummr 

effortlessly through traffic. These features, plus Cadillac's 

basic design and quality, contribute measurably to complete 

peace of mind when driving, plus a new and satisfying sense 

of security. 

And, by becoming fully acquainted with all features of 

your new car, this new satisfaction can be yours indefinitely 

with a little periodic care and attention. 

The purpose of this booklet, then, is to familiarize you with 

your Golden Anniversary Cadillac and to point out the simple 

care and attention that will be required to maintain its 

superior performance and beauty over the years. We recommend 

that you read the following pages carefully; then keep 

this booklet in the glove compartment of your car for future 

reference. 

Only in this way can you get the greatest satisfaction and 

economy from your investment.

' CONVENIENT CONTROLS 

As you slip behind the wheel of your new Cadillac you will 

immediately discover how conveniently all instruments and 

controls are located for visibility and simplicity of operation. 

IGNITION SWITCH 

IGNITION SWITCH 

The ignition switch is on the instrument 

panel to the right of the steering column 

and lights up when either parking or headlamps 

are turned on. The key may be 

turned to any one of the four positions but 

only in the straight-up "Off" position can 

it be inserted or withdrawn. First position 

"Right" completes the ignition circuit and 

activates all instruments and accessories. 

"Full Right" position starts the motor. 

"Left" makes possible operation of radio 

J*'i

and heater only. For your own protection and In i-uoprtr,i> w-th 

authorities, always remove key when car is left unnttcndr-d. 

i£lZ*r*VF* mm 'r*'!! m * m 

STARTING THE ENGINE 

Before attempting to start the engine, see 

that the transmission selector lever is in 

the neutral position. To start a cold engine 

press the accelerator pedal slowly to the 

toe-board and release. This pre-sets the fast 

idle. Now turn ignition key as far "Right" 

as it will go. This operates the starter. DO 

NOT hold ignition key in the starter position 

longer than 15 seconds at one time. 

When you release the key it will automatically 

return to the ignition "On" position. 

When starting a hot engine it is 

advisable to hold the accelerator pedal halfway 

down. Do not pump the accelerator 

pedal as this tends to flood the engine. A 

flooded engine will usually respond quickly 

if you hold the accelerator pedal all the 

way down and turn key to starter position.

HFADLAMP CONTROLS 

Yo i will find the headlamp control knob on the instrument panel 

at i he left of the instrument cluster. Parking lights come on as the 

knob is pulled halfway out. Headlamps operate as the knob is 

pulled all the way out. The instrument panel lights are on when 

'.he knob is in either position. They can be turned down in intensity 

or "off" by rotating the knob to the right. If your car is equipped 

with Cadillac fog lights, they are turned on by pulling the headlamp 

control knob to the "halfway" position and then turning on 

the separate fog light control switch. 

STARTER SWITCH 

TURN SIGNAL LEVER 

TURN SIGNAL 

uvm 

A turn signal lever is located opposite the 

transmission selector lever on the steering 

column. Form the habit of moving this turn 

signal lever "up" before turning right and 

"down" before turning left. This activates 

flashing signals on the right or left, both 

front and rear of the car, to inform both 

oncoming and following drivers of your 

intentions. Corresponding signal flashers are 

also placed on the right and left side of the 

speedometer. If you need to stop on, or 

close to, the* highway, always pull the lever 

down so that the left hand "flashing" lights 

will warn others. The "flashing" lights will 

operate only with the ignition switch on. 

BEAM SELECTOR SWITCH 

BEAM SELECTOR SWITCH 

Your Cadillac is equipped with every necessary lighting fatality 

to insure good vision and safety for night driving. "Sealed Beam" 

driving lights provide a country beam which illuminates well 

ahead of the car, and a traffic beam for city use or when passing 

another car. The beam selector switch is on the floor to the left 

of the brake pedal and it may be easily operated by the left foot. 

5

SEAM INDICATOR 

A signal Ught immediately above your speedometer glows red 

when the country driving lights are "on." For mutual safety, 

never leave the country beam on when approaching an oncoming 

car. This courtesy can reduce night driving accidents. 

PROPER USE OF THE MAM© BRAKE 

To prevent a parked car from rolling on 

slight grades, it is well to form the habit of 

setting the hand brake which is conveniently 

located to the left of the steering column. 

To apply this brake, merely pull the handle 

straight back. It locks automatically. A 

"tell-tale" light lights up when the hand 

brake and the ignition are on. To release 

the brake, rotate the handle left and it will 

return to normal position. When the handle 

pulls out more than several inches, it should 

be adjusted by your Cadillac dealer. When 

parking on hills, in addition to applying the 

hand brake, always place the Hydra-Matic 

selector lever in "Reverse," which automatically 

locks the transmission. Toe the 

front wheels of your Cadillac in toward curb.

To shut out offensive odors or exhaust gases containing carbon 

monoxide, often present in congested traffic and when parked 

behind vehicles having motors running, it is advisable to close 

both air intake valves by means of the push-pull knobs. 

A5H TRAY AND UOHTFr 

ASH TRAY AND LIGHTER 

A cigar lighter is located above the ignition 

lock. Pushing it in heats the element. When 

properly heated for use, it will click out. 

The cigar lighter receptacle is illuminated 

for easy replacement of lighter when headlamps 

or parking lamps are "on." 

The ash tray is built into the right side of 

the radio grille and tilts out when pressed at 

the bottom. It may be removed for cleaning. 

MAP LIGHTS 

For your convenience, map lights are 

located along the top edge of the instrument 

panel on each side of the radio-dial 

panel. With front doors closed, they may be 

operated manually by means of the switch 

at the left map light. They automatically 

serve as courtesy lights when either front 

door is open. 

WINDSHIELD WIPERS 

WINDSHIELD WIPERS 

MAP IIGHTS 

Windshield wipers are controlled by the 

lower knob just left of the steering column. 

To operate turn knob clockwise. An excellent 

means of cleaning the windshield while 

driving can be provided by installing a 

Cadillac Windshield Washer. This protects 

against the dangers of a windshield smeared 

with road spray or mud from passing cars. 

Simply pressing the button in the center of 

the control knob causes water to be sprayed 

on both sides of the windshield to assist 

the wipers in cleaning off mud or grime. 

INTERIOR SUM SHADS 

SUN SHADES 

Interior Sun Shades are provided for added comfort and safety. 

They may be pulled down to the proper level to reduce glare or 

to shut out direct rays of the sun. They also may be swung to 

shield against sun rays entering through side windows. In addition 

to the vertical movement of the shades, they may be pulled 

out horizontally on the rods for a total distance of three inches. 

tOCATION OF WJSfS 

For convenience, several fuses are grouped together in one location. 

This fuse panel is located behind the instrument panel on 

the cowl insulating board, slightly to the left of the car centerline. 

Circuits with fuses on this panel include Automatic and Standard 

Heaters (30 amp. fuse); Radio (14 amp. fuse); Back-up Lights 

(14 amp. fuse); and Directional Signal System (9 amp. fuse). The 

spotlight is fused separately with the fuse located on top of the 

defroster opening cover on the engine side of the cowl. 

Three fuse clips are provided on the fuse panel. One extra of each 

of the three types of fuses (30,14 and 9 amp.) may be kept here.

ELECTRIC CLOCK ADJUSTMENT 

A fully automatic clock is located on the 

right hand side of the instrument panel 

above the glove compartment. It operates 

on direct current from the car battery. 

Even a fine automobile clock such as 

this is considered a good timepiece when 

daily gain or loss does not exceed one 

minute. You should reset the hands occasionally 

to correct this. The reset knob 

projects from the center of the lower edge 

of the clock below the numeral "6". To 

reset, pull the reset knob out, turn hands 

to correct time, and allow knob to spring back. 

The clock may be easily regulated by turning the small screw 

located above the numeral "12". If the clock loses time, turn the 

screw to the right. If it gains time, turn the screw to the left. 

CAUTION: Turn the screw slowly and listen for the "click." 

Each "click" represents a change of about thirty seconds per day. 

r "

To set a station selector button, simply pull the selector button 

to the right and out, tune in the station with the regular manual 

control knob, then replace the station selector button and push 

it all the way in. The Automatic Push-Button Radio is equipped 

with new dual speakers. 

HOOD LOCK 

The hood lock is operated by pulling a 

lever which is accessible through the upper 

center opening in the radiator grille. This 

provides an opening between the hood and 

the radiator grille. To raise hood, trip 

release lever under the front center of the 

hood, and raise. To close hood, push down 

firmly. The hood lock returns to position. 

HOOD IOCK

An oil pressure warning light at the left 

of the mileage indicators will glow red 

when the ignition is turned on. Under 

normal conditions this light will go out 

as soon as the engine is started. If it does 

not go out, the car should not be operated 

until the cause of the low oil pressure is 

located and corrected. 

"7ESSURE WARNING 

REAR VIEW MIRROR 

To shift the Cadillac Glare-Proof Rear View 

Mirror from clear daylight visibility to 

night non-glare visibility, simply adjust the 

small ear on the bottom of the mirror. The

SPEEDOMETER 

TEMPERATURE INDICATOR 

THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR 

The temperature indicator, located in the instrument cluster, 

shows the approximate temperature of the coolant in the engine. 

If the pointer should register above the center range during long 

continuous driving in warm weather, do not be alarmed, as the 

pressure-controlled overflow will normally prevent fluid losses up 

to about 245" F. Should the indicator show "HOT" on short 

runs, however, or if the engine boils as indicated by a buzzing 

sound from the radiator cap, have your Authorized Cadillac 

Dealer investigate immediately to correct the overheating.

GENERATOR INDICATOR UGHT 

A generator "tell-tale" indicator light in 

the speedometer face glows red when the 

generator is not charging. If operation is 

normal, it will not be on at speeds above 

idle. If it glows at speeds above idle, have 

your Authorized Cadillac Dealer correct it.

Each door on your Cadillac can be locked 

from the inside by pushing down the lock 

button on the sill. Doors may also be locked 

from the outside with this button by pushing 

the button down while the door is open, 

and then pushing the door handle opening 

button all the way in while closing the door. 

Locks on the rear doors of sedans are set 

so that both the inside and outside door 

handles are inoperative when the lock 

button is depressed. To open a door, it is 

then necessary to lift the lock button before 

DOOR tOCKS 

operating the door handle. If desired, the 

locks on the rear doors of sedans can be reset by any Authorized 

Cadillac Dealer so that pushing down the lock button makes 

only the outside handle inoperative to outside opening. 

LUGGAGE 

LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT 

COMPARTMENT 

The luggage compartment lid on your 1952 Cadillac has a counterbalanced 

construction and is fitted with a key-lock release. To 

open, insert the key, turn in a clockwise direction and, placing 

two fingers under the "V" on the Cadillac emblem, lift the lid 

up. To close, pull down to a position 6 or 8 inches from closing, 

remove the key, and push lid sharply downward. This automatically 

locks the luggage compartment. An automatic interior 

light operates for your convenience when the trunk is raised. 

DUAL BACK-UP LIGHTS 

Dual back-up lights, which are located 

directly below the right and left tail lamp 

tenses, are a part of the tail lamp assembly. 

These lights operate automatically whenever 

the transmission selector lever is placed 

in reverse while the ignition switch is 

"ON." To add to driving ease, you will find 

these lights make backing out of driveways 

or into parking spaces easier.

Cadillac Avtomatic Heating System 

Your Cadillac Automatic Heating System incorporates a threefold 

heating, ventilating and defrosting system. The components 

consist of a re-circulating hot water heater, located under the 

front seat, and a large heater-defroster unit mounted under the 

car hood. 

The floor and lower portion of your car are heated by the 

underseat unit. The upper portion of your car is kept warm by 

the heater-defroster unit. The entire system is designed to provide 

driving comfort in all kinds of weather. For example, it provides 

cool, fresh air in summer and heated fresh air for winter driving. 

Cool or warm, the fresh air is gently pressure-circulated throughout 

the car. Series 75 cars have two added under-rear-seat heaters. 

DEFROSTING 

The large heater-defroster unit clears steam and frost from the 

windshield to provide better winter-driving vision. 

The rear window blower (with 

deluxe system only) keeps 

vital rear window areas clear of 

frost and fog for safe throughrear-window 

vision under adverse 

weather conditions. 

OPERATING THE HEATING SYSTEM 

Your Cadillac Automatic Heating System is controlled by the 

two levers at the left side of the grille. The lever marked "TEMP" 

controls the car temperature; push it downward to make the car 

warmer. The lever marked "AIR" controls the amount of ventilating 

and defrosting air; push it downward to increase the 

volume of air entering the car through the heater-defroster. 

TO REMOVE FOG AND ICf 

If fog collects, push the "AIR" 

control down further. For maximum 

defogging, push the lever 

down as far as it will go with 

light pressure. To remove ice, 

push the knob down with greater 

pressure to its lowest position. 

If the car then becomes too 

warm, lift the "TEMP" control 

to the top of its travel. 

This Cadillac Automatic Heating System is used in all Cadillac 

models. Two under-rear-seat heaters are standard in Series 75 cars. 

16

WINTffi ViNTfLATION 

Since the Cadillac Automatic Heating System 

is supplied with air drawn into the car 

from outside, it builds up air pressure within 

the car body. Thus, air leakage is from the 

inside out and cold drafts from the outside 

are eliminated. It is important, therefore, 

that all windows be closed to obtain the 

most satisfaction from your heating system. 

Anadequate supply of freshair is obtained in 

volume from outside through the defroster. 

Under certain conditions—when moving 

slowly or stopped in heavy traffic—it is "AIR" .,.„ IEVER „_, 

possible for exhaust fumes from other cars to enter the ventilating 

system and thereby enter the car. When this condition 

arises, push the "AIR" lever to the top position and push in both 

ventilator knobs. This will close the ventilators from the outside 

against dangerous fumes. 

SUMMER VENTILATION 

Pull out both ventilator knobs beneath the instrument panel. 

Adjust the ventilator deflector to give the desired air distribution. 

If more ventilating air is desired, push down the "AIR" lever to 

the position of maximum defogging as described before. If fog 

collects on the windshield, push down the "AIR" lever as described 

before. Push in the ventilator knob, it will discharge air 

over the windshield. 

TO START ENGINE 

Operation with

Before attempting to start your engine, see that the transmission 

.selector lever is in the Neutral position. To start a cold engine 

press the accelerator pedal slowly to the toe-board and release to 

pre-set the fast idle. Now turn your ignition key as far "Right" as 

it will go. This operates the starter. A word 

of caution: DO NOT hold your ignition 

key in the starter position longer than 15 

seconds at one time. When you release the 

key it will automatically return to the 

ignition "On" position. When you are 

starting a hot engine it is advisable to hold 

the accelerator pedal halfway down. A 

flooded engine will usually respond quickly 

if you hold the accelerator pedal all the 

way down and turn your key to the starter

HOW TO USE THE TWO &MVING "0*" RANGES 

You will note that the "Dr" range has two positions. The left, 

hand arrow position of the selector lever will provide four forward 

speeds, the right arrow position will provide three forward speeds. 

for Normal Driving, the left hand arrow position should be used as 

the use of fourth speed will reduce engine speed and increase 

economy.

For Congested TratRt or Mountainous Mvhj, the right hand "Dr" 

arrow position should be used. In this position, only first, second 

and third speeds are obtained, improving acceleration in heavy 

traffic. The right hand arrow position also reduces automatic 

shifting in traffic and on hills and will increase the engine braking 

effort when descending grades. 

: When Passing, an extra burst of specsd may be secured by 

merely pressing the accelerator down as far ass it will go. This 

procedure automatically down-shifts the transmission to the 

correct speed for more power and faster, smoother acceleration. 

To Stop,release the accelerator and step on the foot brake pedal.

R" REVERSE 

to Sotfc Up with your car stopped, move 

the selector lever to the Reverse "R" position. 

This can be done from Neutral "N", 

either "Dr" position, or "Lo" without 

pause. Lift the selector lever slightly as it 

passes the "Dr" and "Lo" positions. Press 

accelerator to move car in Reverse. The 

selector lever should not be placed in "R" 

while moving ahead on dry pavement. 

To "Bade" Hie Cor to free it from snow, sand, mud, or ice, merely 

move the selector lever back and forth between Low "Lo" and 

Reverse "R". No pause is necessary to shift to Reverse. 

PARKING ON HILLS WITH SAFETY 

Your Cadillac Hydra-Matic Drive will provide safe parking on 

hills or steep inclines. Just raise and move the selector lever to 

"R", after turning the ignition key "Off" and waiting a few 

seconds. As an additional safety measure, apply the handbrake 

and toe in the front wheels to the curb. 

PUSHING OR TOWING 

Cars equipped with Hydra-Matic Drive should not be towed or 

pushed for any greater distance than required to start a normally 

operating engine. Follow instructions below. 

For Starting—To start the engine by pushing the car, move 

the selector lever to the "N" (Neutral position). When the car 

reaches a speed of approximately 18 to 20 miles per hour, turn 

on the ignition switch and move the selector lever to either "Dr" 

position (not to "Lo"). 

For Transmission Not Functioning Properly—The propeller 

shaft must be disconnected at the rear universal joint and removed, 

or the rear wheels raised off the ground to prevent possible 

damage to the transmission. 

For Mechanical Failures Other Than Transmission—Propeller 

shaft need not be disconnected if transmission has been operating 

normally provided that car has been driven a minimum of 1,000 

miles and that towing speeds of from IB to 25 miles per hour are 

maintained. Towing at high speeds may damage the transmission. 

tOW "lO" RANGE POSITION 

"Lo" range is provided for operation in 

deep sand, mud, or snow. It should also be 

used in ascending or descending very steep 

grades or where traffic signs call for the use 

of first or second gear. It is good practice to 

use "Lo" for starting car on ice.

Cadillac Slue Coral 

Beauty f realmetit 

Protects and Beautifies 

Your Car 

The original beauty of your Cadillac car can be retained for many 

years by having your Cadillac dealer apply the only approved 

restorative, protective service—the famous Cadillac BLUE 

CORAL Treatment. This is a scientific method employing approved 

materials and special techniques. Its results are unequalled. 

Since calcium chloride and other salts, road tar, insects, tree 

sap, chemicals from factory chimneys and other foreign matter 

may damage modern automotive finishes, frequent, regular 

washings are recommended as a further protection. 

IMPORTANT FACTS ON CARS OF 

NEW TYPS CHROMS ON YOUR Oil 

Material restrictions that are caused by the national defense 

program have required a change in the plating process of some 

of the bright work on your Cadillac. 

Bo not seour or polish these plated 

Wash only with water 

parts- 

A protective coating of a special clear finish has been baked on 

plated parts and no supplementary coatings should be used. 

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED 

to prevent damage -to the protective coating. Abrasives and 

strong cleaning agents are harmful to this finish, therefore, conventional 

methods of chrome cleaning and polishing MUST BE 

AVOIDED. 

Repairs to SCRATCHES OR ABRASIONS that occur on 

parts having the protective coating must be performed within a 

reasonably short time to prevent deterioration of the finish. It is 

recommended that repairs be made only by those who are familiar 

with proper repair procedures and who use approved reflnishing 

materials. 

Your Dealer has complete instructions regarding this procedure 

and is well qualified to handle any repairs that may be necessary.

Engine Break-in Instructions 

Your new Cadillac does not require a formal break-in period. 

You should drive it at varying speeds in a normal manner, just 

as you expect to drive your car when it is a year old. 

Precision manufacturing methods have prepared your Cadillac 

for all normal driving, and it has already been tested under 

simulated road conditions at the factory. 

There are no maximum speed limitations which must be 

observed. For the first 100 miles or longer, however, you should 

avoid driving for extended periods at any one constant speed, 

either slow or fast, and you should avoid full-throttle "jack 

rabbit" starts and severe application of the brakes in stopping. 

Before The Mercury Drops I© Freezing 

.. • Hove Your Cor Protected 

with Anti-Freeze 

Cadillac factory engineers recommend using either a permanent 

glycol-type or an alcohol base anti-freeze, such as denatured 

alcohol, methanol, or propanol. 

Kerosene or other oils, or solutions containing calcium chloride, 

magnesium chloride, sodium silicate, or other inorganic salts, are 

not satisfactory for use in your Cadillac car cooling system. 

INSTALLING AMt-FHEEZ* 

The cooling system should be thoroughly 

cleaned, inspected, and serviced for winter 

operation before installing anti-freeze. Regular 

inspection of the entire system, to prevent 

leaks, should be made frequently after 

the anti-freeze is installed—with special 

checks made on hose connections, cylinder 

heads, and water pump. 

Cadillac Heating Systems are so located 

that they do not drain, even when the 

hoses are disconnected, unless air pressure 

is applied. Do not rely on draining to prevent 

freezing on cars using Heating Systems; 

be sure to get anti-freeze into the 

heater cores to prevent winter damage.

Engine Efficiency ond Protection 

Depend on Proper Cooling 

The cooling system of your Cadillac engine has been designed to 

maintain predetermined temperatures for efficient operation, 

and to protect it from over-heating. On care equipped with 

heaters, the normal capacity of the system is 20 quarts. 

The cooling system requires regular attention. The proper 

coolant level is two inches below the top of the filler neck. Keep 

the system leak-proof by having all connections tightened regularly. 

Have your Authorized Cadillac Dealer clean and flush the 

system twice a year, or every 6,000 miles for the best efficiency. 

CADILLAC COOLING SYSTEM INHIBITOR 

Your Cadillac, when delivered to you, contains a charge of 

Cadillac Cooling System Inhibitor, a special chemical that retards 

the formation of rust and scale and reduces the possibility of 

water pump squeal. Regardless of the season, a fresh charge of 

Inhibitor should be added whenever the system is drained and 

refilled, even when an anti-freeze containing Inhibitor is being 

used. Cadillac Cooling System Inhibitor is recommended because 

of its effective action, and because it can be safely used with 

any standard anti-freeze. It can be obtained from your Dealer,

lie Sure off Thorough, Systematic 

Lubrication off Your Cadillac • • • 

Systematic lubrication is the best means of guarding against inadequate 

lubrication and possibly extensive repairs. In order to 

provide a means of having the car lubricated systematically, 

Cadillac engineers designed a plan known as The Cadillac Lubrication 

Agreement. This agreement provides for every lubrication 

requirement including engine oil changes essential to the proper 

performance of your Cadillac for 12,000 miles or a period of one 

year. Ask your Cadillac Dealer to explain this Cadillac Lubrication 

Agreement plan to you. It is a plan that will assure you proper and 

complete lubrication systematically performed over an entire 

year's period. 

INGfMH Oft 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

Your use of the proper engine oil is of great importance in 

obtaining maximum performance and satisfaction from your car. 

Oil oxidizes when heated. Unless protected against oxidation, 

crankcase oils may form sludge and varnish, and under some 

conditions, corrosive acids. 

To minimize the formation of these harmful decomposition 

products and to supply the type of oil best suited for the different 

operating conditions, the refiners market several different types 

of oils. 

In many instances, during so-called moderate or light driving 

conditions when the engine is used infrequently or driven for 

short periods, the lubricating oil does not reach normal operating 

temperatures. Engine sludge formation increases under these 

conditions. 

for maximum protection at your Cadillac engine under ail driving conditions. 

It is recommended that Heavy-Buty oils b* used. 

nm msr soo mim 

For the first 500 miles, use the heavy-duty oil in the crankcase at 

the time your car was delivered to you. During this period should 

additional oil be necessary, use nothing heavier than 10-W oil in 

winter or 20-W oil in summer. Change oil at 500 miles. Break-in 

oils or compounds are entirely unnecessary. 

AFTER tm mST 500 MILES 

For the best all-around engine performance after the first 500 

miles, SAE 20-W or SAE 20 engine oil should be used during 

summer weather. If your car fa regularly driven at high speed, 

or if the prevailing daylight temperature averages above 90° F., 

SAE 30 oil may be used. 

For cold weather, oil should be selected that will permit easy 

starting at the lowest temperature anticipated for the entire 

period. Unless the proper oil is selected, you may have difficulty 

starting your car if the temperature drops suddenly. The viscosity 

grades of engine oil for use in your Cadillac at the various cold 

weather temperatures are given below: 

If you anticipate that the minimum 

atmospheric temperature will be: 

Use Grade; 

Not lower than 30^. above zero. 20-W or SAE 20 

Not lower than 10°F. above zero 20-W or SAE 20 

Not lower than 10°?. below zero 10-W or SAE 10 

Below 10°F. below zero. 

5-W* 

NOTE: When continued warmer temperatures are encountered, S-W 

oil should be drained and the higher viscosity grades used. 5-W {or 

10-W plus 10% kerosene in emergencies) is recommended only for 

those territories where the temperature remains below zero for long 

periods. 

28 

29

MAINTAIN 

PROPER OIL LEVEL 

The engine crankcase oil capacity is five 

quarts. Always maintain the proper oil 

level. The oil indicator is marked for a safe 

driving range. Whenever the level falls to 

the "add oil" mark, add immediately. Do 

not add above the "full" mark. Check your 

oil each time you buy gasoline and before 

starting long drives. After the initial change 

at 500 miles and a second oil change at 2,000 

miles, engine oil should be drained and 

replaced every 2,000 miles. More frequent 

changes are required with unusual stop and 

go operation, dusty road travel or during 

prolonged cold or wet climatic conditions.

r^ •*»s». 

'Knmpr-ênv? Cadillac Hydra-Matic Drive operation 

depends upon the use of a fluid of very 

exacting specifications, compounded especially 

for Automatic Transmissions. This 

fluid can be obtained from Authorized 

Cadillac Dealers and reputable service 

stations who carry fluid which has been 

qualified by General Motors Corporation 

for use in Cadillac Hydra-Matic Transmissions. 

Approved Hydra-Matic Fluid is 

identified for the protection of the car owner 

by the qualification number "AQ-ATF." 

Authorized Cadillac Dealers will check 

the fluid level in your Hydra-Matic Drive 

every 2,000 miles at the same time that 

your car is being lubricated —and, if necessary, 

they will add fluid. 

The Cadillac Hydra-Matic Drive should 

be completely drained and fresh fluid supplied 

every 25,000 miles. 

Core off Air Cleaner Filter 

The air cleaner filtering unit should be 

drained, cleaned, and refilled with one pint 

of oil every 2,000 miles. SAE 40 engine oil 

should be used when the average air temperature 

is above 32 degrees P., otherwise 

SAE 20 engine oil. Proper care of the air 

cleaner prevents much outside dirt and 

grime from entering your Cadillac engine.

AIR CLEANER 

If an oil filter has been installed on your car as an accessory, it 

is recommended that the oil filter ELEMENT be replaced every 

6,000 miles. Your Dealer carries new elements in stock. 

CHASSIS LUBRICATION 

The chassis requires attention every 2,000 

miles. All chassis lubricating points are 

listed and illustrated in a Cadillac Lubrication 

Chart available, upon request, from 

the Service Department, Cadillac Motor 

Car Division, General Motors Corporation,

omm. POINTS 

The steering gear, front wheel bearings, and grease gun connections 

each require a specific type of lubricant. Only operators 

familiar with these requirements and having the right materials 

should be permitted to lubricate your Cadillac. 

RADIATOR mum 

CAP 

The radiator filler cap is located under the hood. The coolant 

should be checked at least every 2,000 miles, with the engine 

cold. Care should be taken not to lose coolant when cheeking. 

The correct level is two inches below the top of the filler neck. 

USE GASOLINE WITH 

HIGH OCTANE RATING 

Better performance will be obtained by the 

use of a gasoline having a high octane rating. 

, The use of gasoline with a low octane rating 

tends to increase the possibility of "pinging" 

with a resultant reduction in engine operating 

efficiency. If a "pinging" condition is 

either excessive or prolonged, using a premium 

fuel, see your Cadillac Dealer for 

adjustments. 

Should your car show loss of power 

at fairly high altitudes, do not become 

alarmed. Your engine is adjusted to operate 

efficiently at normal altitudes and any 

marked gain in altitude results in a lowering 

of air pressure and may affect performance. 

A SAFETY PRECAUTION 

Avoid removing the filler cap while the 

engine is hot. However, should it become 

absolutely necessary to do so, rotate the 

cap toward the left until the first stop is 

reached and allow pressure to escape. Then 

turn again to the left to remove. Be sure 

the cap fits tightly when reinstalled. 

Give Proper Attention to Wheels and fires 

Regular attention will extend the life of your tires and help you 

avoid emergency repairs. Have your tires, including the spare, 

checked twice a month. 

GASOUNf TANK CAPACITY 

The capacity of the gasoline tank on all Series is 20 gallons. 

The gasoline filler cap is located under the hinged top of the 

left rear lamp. Open by pushing in the reflector button at the 

base of the lamp. When closed, the cover is held firmly in position. 

ENGINE OIL LEVEL INDICATOR 

The engine oil level indicator is on the left side of the crankcase. 

The combination oil filler and crankcase ventilator cap is in the 

center of the engine in front of the carburetor. It is wise to have 

the oil level checked each time gasoline is purchased. Add oil 

whenever the level is down to the "add oil" mark, but add only 

enough to bring level up to the "full" mark or the five quart 

level. Avoid overfilling crankcase, since this may cause the oil 

to foam. The copper gauze in the cap should be cleaned in solvent, 

then dipped in clean engine oil each time the engine oil is changed.

Operation el 

New Cadillac Power Steering 

If your Cadillac is equipped with the new 1952 Cadillac Power 

Steering system—the former work of steering is being done for you 

without need to operate any controls. Ladies in particular will discover 

that this system makes even the longest car—easy to turn... 

easy to park . . . and easy to maneuver in the heaviest traffic. 

Unlike other power steering systems, the Cadillac Power Steering 

system permits you to retain the true "feel" of steering. All 

emphasis in the design of this new Power Steering has been 

targeted on your driving comfort—to furnish you with a system 

that requires a minimum of driving effort—and with a unit that 

makes parking almost effortless. 

One of the great advantages of your steering system is that it 

retains the proven Cadillac steering ratio used on 1952 manual 

steering gears. Atoreover, year l*ow»r Steering may he manually operated 

with the engine in the "o0" position. In the event your system is dhconnected 

for may reason—steering may be accomplished manually in me 

normal manner. 

Under all conditions of driving, you remain in control. When 

driving around a curve the car follows the path that you direct 

with your hands on the wheel. Cadillac Power Steering does not 

steer beyond the path that you set. For example, if you remove 

your hands from the wheel for a brief moment, your Cadillac will 

again follow a straight path just as it does with manual steering. 

Your Power Steering system is so designed that it gives you no 

hydraulic steering assistance under very light steering conditions; 

such as the slight maneuvering required to steer on a straight 

road. Another safety factor, inherent in your Power Steering unit, 

is that the hydraulic system—in addition to acting as a booster— 

resists kickback and "road shock" and provides you with positive 

directional steering control. 

License Pota 

The engine number, which is also the serial number, is stamped 

on the car in two places: At the upper right corner on the front 

face of right hand block, numbered at right angles to the crankshaft, 

and on the right frame sidebar just behind the engine 

support bracket. The engine number should be used in license and 

insurance applications and in general car reference.

Color Charts For Interior Painted Moldings, Panels and Related Parts 

Interior moldings, panels and painted parts are finished in colors to harmonize with the interior trim 

material color shades. To assist in determining trim color requirements, if the trim color is not known, 

reference can be made to the trim code chart shown below. For convenience and assistance in procurement, 

the original color name and numbers are shown with matching Dupont reference. On parts using high temperature 

drying enamels, a reference is made to nearest match of air-drying lacquers. 

To insure maximum matching effectiveness, the lacquers must be thoroughly mixed and stirred. 

For easy reference and to cover the most commonly called for areas and parts, the reference is Keyed 

to six (6) major group charts, that cover the front end items namely, Instrument Panel, Windshield Garnish 

Molding, Steering Column Jacket, Covers, Horn Ring Hub and Spokes, Shifter Carrier, Speedometer Mileage 

Housing, etc. 

For accurate guidance in determining' the color of parts for refinishing, reference can be made to the 

Group reference chart to determing paint chart number for lacquer requirements. This group chart is arranged 

in numerical order to agree with the standard grouping system of the parts list.
