The appearance of the Golden Anniversary<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> should be a source of tremendous<br />
pride to all of us—to those who build it, to those<br />
who sell it, and to those who own it. For not only<br />
does it once again raise the world's conception of<br />
what constitutes a truly fine motor car—but it<br />
represents, in all that it is, looks and does, a full<br />
half-century of continuous automotive development.<br />
Since the appearance of the first <strong>Cadillac</strong> car<br />
in 1902, each passing year has seen <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s position<br />
as the "Standard of the World" more firmly<br />
fixed in the minds of the motoring public. So consistently<br />
and unfailingly, in fact, have the good<br />
things come from <strong>Cadillac</strong> that motorists look to it,<br />
almost as a matter of routine, for their standards<br />
of automotive quality. The Golden Anniversary<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> will, we feel certain, strengthen this attitude<br />
to a conviction. For never before has so fine an<br />
automobile been presented for their consideration.<br />
In beauty, in performance, in riding comfort, in<br />
everything that contributes to motoring goodness,<br />
this is the finest motor car <strong>Cadillac</strong> has ever built.<br />
IN ITS 50TH YEAR AS STANDARD OF THE WORLD!<br />

The task which confronts the <strong>Cadillac</strong> salesman in <strong>1952</strong><br />
is, perhaps, unique in all the world of manufactured<br />
products. And it is a task which will call for all of<br />
the ingenuity and resources of your selling experience.<br />
It is a situation which has grown out of the very goodness<br />
of the car itself. For its leadership is so outstanding<br />
that motorists who have never before considered the<br />
purchase of a <strong>Cadillac</strong> are daily coming into your<br />
showroom, hoping to become <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners. And those<br />
who already own the car have expressed their desire,<br />
almost as a body, to return once again to <strong>Cadillac</strong>.<br />
Your problem, in brief, is this. You must convince them<br />
of the wisdom of becoming a <strong>Cadillac</strong> owner—and, at<br />
the same time, of the wisdom of waiting for delivery.<br />
You will be aided in your first job by the car itself. For,<br />
while its styling and design are not markedly changed,<br />
its engineering advancements are as great as at any time<br />
in <strong>Cadillac</strong> history. That is where your principal selling<br />
efforts should be directed. The prospect should be<br />
informed, both by description and by demonstration,<br />
where and in what ways the great <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine is<br />
superior to its predecessor. He should have described to<br />
him the advantages of the new Hydra-Matic transmission,<br />
and he should understand the mechanics of the<br />
new <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering. And then, knowing of<br />
these advancements, he should have them demonstrated<br />
to him behind the wheel of the car. There is no substitute
for an actual demonstration—for only by experiencing<br />
the results of these engineering achievements can he<br />
appreciate their contribution to motoring happiness.<br />
He should, similarly, be informed of everything that is<br />
new in the Golden Anniversary <strong>Cadillac</strong>—its new crest,<br />
the changes in styling, design, and its new features. After<br />
he has talked with you, he should have gained the<br />
definite impression that, although the car's appearance<br />
has not been ostensibly changed, it is a new automobile.<br />
This, however, is only half the job—and perhaps, even<br />
the easiest. Once he has expressed his desire to own the<br />
Golden Anniversary <strong>Cadillac</strong>, he should be informed<br />
frankly as to what he can expect in way of delivery. The<br />
waiting period will, in most cases, be longer than he has<br />
expected—and you must appreciate that what you are<br />
asking of him places certain obligations on you.<br />
He should be made to realize, first of all, that the waiting<br />
is more than worthwhile—that when he finally gets his<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> he will know that the reward far outweighed<br />
the inconvenience. He should be informed, further, that<br />
he is not waiting alone—that others, before him, have<br />
been told what the delivery situation is, and that they<br />
have decided to wait. And he should be made to understand,<br />
finally, that there is no substitute for a <strong>Cadillac</strong>—<br />
and that, in accepting quicker delivery elsewhere, he will<br />
be compromising his desire for a truly fine automobile.<br />
$
During the time between the placing of the order and<br />
the actual delivery of the car, he should be contacted<br />
regularly—and informed of any changes in the expected<br />
delivery date. Left alone throughout this period, he may<br />
feel ignored—and become easy prey to the salesman who<br />
can promise immediate delivery on another automobile.<br />
In your dealings with the <strong>Cadillac</strong> prospect, be sure that<br />
you are thoroughly acquainted with the information and<br />
selling points included in this data book. It has been<br />
specifically designed to assist you in these tasks and<br />
includes everything you need to know about the Golden<br />
Anniversary <strong>Cadillac</strong>. Have it close at hand at all times,<br />
in case the prospect should wish to refer to it or should<br />
bring up some point on which you are not too definite.<br />
Remember, even though the demand for <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars is<br />
great, your efforts in bringing in new owners as well<br />
as maintaining your present list of <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners are<br />
of inestimable value. For your efforts today will determine,<br />
to a large degree, the success of future years.<br />
IN ITS 50TH YEAR AS STANDARD OF THE WORLD!

NEW 62 SEDAN REAR DECK CONTOUR<br />
For the ultimate result in sleekness of line and long, low<br />
silhouette, the rear deck contour of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> 62 Sedan<br />
and the rear deck contour of the Series 75 cars has<br />
been raised. This new slipstream styling distinguishes<br />
these cars in appearance of grace and provides roomy<br />
luggage compartments of more spacious proportions.<br />
NEW DUAL EXHAUST THROUGH BUMPER<br />
The wrap-around protection of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> rear bumper<br />
has taken on a glamorous new continental custom styling<br />
where "split" exhaust systems terminate in beautifully<br />
designed dual exhaust ports through gleaming chrome<br />
bumper bars. This new customized dual-exhaust-throughbumper<br />
is attractive in appearance and functional in<br />
design. The value of this new feature has been proven in<br />
terms of better engine performance because it reduces<br />
back-pressure. It is standard on all <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars.<br />
14
NEW <strong>1952</strong> FRONT-END ENSEMBLE<br />
In all <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars, improvements have been made<br />
in the front-end ensemble. The lower grille extensions<br />
have been redesigned to add a massive yet graceful note.<br />
Beautiful "Cadet Visor" headlamp bezels in sparkling<br />
chrome are again part of the over-all effect that accentuates<br />
the flowing lines to blend pleasingly with the<br />
over-all design. The horizontal grille bars focus attention<br />
on the beautiful, wider <strong>Cadillac</strong> V and crest. Fog lights,<br />
optional at additional cost, are integral with the center<br />
grille member and also carry the new beautifully<br />
styled <strong>Cadillac</strong> "Cadet Visor" bezels in sparkling chrome<br />

CADILLAC FLEETWOOD<br />
Here, beyond all doubt, is the most magnificently<br />
luxurious owner-driven automobile on the highways—a<br />
long and low-silhouetted beauty designed for those whose<br />
choice is unrestricted. This lovely <strong>Cadillac</strong> 60 Special<br />
knows no rival for the affections of the motoring public.<br />
It offers such outstanding and exclusive features, brilliant<br />
style and dazzling performance that it has helped play a<br />
major role in building <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s reputation as the<br />
"Standard of the World." Every feature of design, construction<br />
and performance places the emphasis on luxury.<br />
16
For <strong>1952</strong>, the accent is also on color. This grand sedan is<br />
available in 17 color choices—12 solid colors and 5 twotone<br />
combinations. The <strong>Cadillac</strong> 60 Special is also<br />
distinguished by its graceful flowing lines, its extra<br />
length and fleet appearance. Symbolic of the distinctive<br />
marking of the 60 Special, is the new broad decklid V<br />
and gleaming "Fleetwood" script. Here, too, is value and<br />
quality beyond all other cars—so distinctively different,<br />
so refined and elegant—that it has won enthusiastic<br />
acclaim throughout the world as a motor car unequaled.<br />

CADILLAC FLEETWOOD<br />

fashion world. Long and low—extravagant in<br />

comfort and wonderful convenience been available in
cars of this exclusive type and character. Built on a<br />
chassis wheelbase of 146* to provide the maximum<br />
interior room, Series 75 cars are powered by the <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />

A NEW CONCEPT IN LUXURY<br />
The <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars present an utterly new concept<br />
in luxurious interiors. At every hand ... on every side ...<br />
are features that add a sparkling difference in beauty and<br />
convenience. Rich colors, fabrics of superb textures<br />
and jewel-like appointments are blended to create<br />
settings of unusual charm. Here in the <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars,<br />
is offered a new "Standard of the World" in automotive<br />
fashions—presented to perfection in flawless workmanship<br />
and an unequalled, extravagant beauty of line.<br />

There is a sturdy tradition behind the studied simplicity of<br />
the <strong>Cadillac</strong> front compartment. This setting for gracious<br />
driving comes into its distinctive best in <strong>1952</strong>. The instrument<br />
panel, distinguished by a new gold and brushed silver crest,<br />
is finished in subtle, sophisticated colors. Highlight of the<br />
panel is the convenient group of instruments. Instruments and<br />
SETTING FOR GRACIOUS DRIVING<br />
other appointments are richly chromed. Other features are<br />
the extra large steering wheel with sparkling colored plastic<br />
rim, the easy-to-reach radio controls, smart clock and deep<br />
glove box. Finishing touches of the front compartment are<br />
the heavy wool pile carpet and the massive steering columntacket<br />
which pick up the basic interior colors once more.
COMFORT FOR EVERY PASSENGER<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> seats are designed for maximum comfort for<br />
every passenger—based on an engineering knowledge of<br />
anatomical variations among the riding public. About<br />
80% of all men and 85% of all women are between 62<br />
and 72 inches tall. <strong>Cadillac</strong> interiors have been designed<br />
with comfort in mind, and the seats have been prepared<br />
for body posterior contours from reliable data for short<br />
and tall figures and aligned for the variations in leg<br />
length and head height to be accommodated. As a part<br />
of this exacting program, front seats can be moved forward<br />
or backward 4 inches to accommodate persons of<br />
various heights . . . die front seat rises as it moves forward.
SERIES 62 CONVERTIBLE COUPE<br />
PAGEANT OF INTERIOR FASHIONS<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> 62 Convertible is radiantly tailored all<br />
around in genuine leather which protects it with sheer<br />
enchantment against harsh winds and sun. Five beautiful<br />
choices of two-tone and solid color leathers are available<br />
in <strong>1952</strong>. Of the five different trim selections, three are<br />
two-tone combinations of light metallic and darkly<br />
brilliant leathers of the same color, two are tailored in<br />
shimmering leather of solid hue. <strong>Cadillac</strong> interprets one<br />
interior trim in the flattery of brown combined with<br />
light tan leather combination, a second in dark and light<br />
metallic blue, and a third in softly lighted metallic green<br />
leather coupled with leather of a rich dark green shade.<br />
Choice number four includes a fashion-future interior of<br />
solid red leather throughout. For a suave midnight effect<br />
the Convertible interior may also be trimmed all around<br />
in fine leathers of solid black. Top material is available in<br />
four matching colors—black, tan, blue and green.
The two-tone or solid leather tailoring in the Convertible<br />
Coupe is dramatically carried even to the front seat back.<br />
In two-tone trim selections, the dark-tone leather bolster<br />
back contrasts with a recessed center panel of light<br />
leather. The robe cord is covered in dark leather. Seat<br />
backs and cushion inserts are trimmed in the leather of<br />
fine metallic light-tones with diagonal tufting. Wide back<br />
bolsters and lower seat fronts are fashioned in rich dark<br />
leathers. The doors are also paneled in diagonally-tufted<br />
leather of two shades. Where solid red leather or solid<br />
black leather is selected, seats and door panels are tufted<br />
in a single color. The <strong>Cadillac</strong> crest in chrome is mounted<br />
in the center of each interior door panel. Door and cowl<br />
kick pads are in beautiful patterned chrome metal.<br />
25
SERIES 62 COUPE<br />
PAGEANT OF INTERIOR FASHIONS<br />
The cushions and seat back inserts in the Series 62 Coupe<br />
are distinguished by deep tufting, styled in light tone<br />
fabrics of pattern broadcloth or cord. Wide seat backs<br />
and cushion bolsters are tailored in harmonizing dark<br />
broadcloth. Four color schemes are available to choose<br />
from. Dark green is combined with beautiful light-tone<br />
green. Brown is coupled with tan. Dark blue and a lighter<br />
blue form another fashionable combination. Delicate<br />
26
gray tailored with gray of a much darker hue offers<br />
flattering beauty. Extreme lower seat-facings are protected<br />
by simulated leather. Door panels are trimmed in<br />
six-inch pipes of dark broadcloth and sidewall cloth of<br />
light tone. Hydraulic controls for windows and front<br />
seat are available as an option. The same striking<br />
motif is carried into the rear compartment of the Series<br />
62 Coupe with the traditional skill of <strong>Cadillac</strong> craftsmen.<br />
Another luxury and convenience feature is the soft,<br />
lounge-type center arm rest that folds into the rear seat<br />
back. It adds to the comfort of the rear seat passengers.<br />
The front doors and rear compartment sides are equipped<br />
with arm rests positioned for ease and comfort. The<br />
wool pile carpeting of fashionable hue, combined with<br />
other sound-deadening material, minimizes road noise.<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> rear seats are restful because of the large number of individually<br />
wrapped and tied coil springs. They are topped by thick fabric<br />
padding, deep foam rubber and heavy upholstery cloth. Front seats<br />
in all <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars, except Series 75, are built up as illustrated<br />
below with the new type zig-zag springs topped by thick padding.
COUPE DE VILLE<br />
PAGEANT OF INTERIOR FASHIONS<br />
Here cited for outstanding beauty, the Coupe de Ville<br />
interior glories in distinguished styling and the fine hand<br />
of <strong>Cadillac</strong> tailoring. Highly metallic leather of light<br />
matching tone graces the diagonally tufted upper seat<br />
back. Leather bolsters and door panels are regally contrasted<br />
with a choice of classic dark cord body cloth.<br />
Four exclusive color combinations are available to choose<br />
from. A shadow-blue fabric combines with light blue<br />
metallic leather for a real beauty bonus. Dark gray cord<br />
body cloth is available with light tone leather. A provocatively<br />
lovely green cloth with a lighter green leather of<br />
exciting hue is another choice. An exquisite brown nylon<br />
fabric with a fashionable tan leather is also available. Each<br />
of these is the inspired answer to <strong>1952</strong> Coupe de Ville<br />
interior styling. The rear compartment of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> 62<br />
Coupe de Ville is trimmed in smooth and exotic harmony<br />
with the rest of the car. A large center arm rest and<br />
side arm rests add to beauty, comfort and convenience.<br />
Perfect styling and the custom-tailored look are further<br />
enhanced in this model by chrome roof bows, chrome<br />
garnish moldings and bright hardware. Hydraulic window<br />
controls are a convenient feature. Dark tone<br />

SERIES 62 SEDAN<br />
PAGEANT OF INTERIOR FASHIONS<br />
The interior of the 62 Sedan is softly mannered and<br />
deftly tailored. Upholstery material is in two-tone combinations<br />
of dark broadcloth with either cord or patterned<br />
cloth of light color. Seat back inserts and cushions are<br />
deeply tufted for exquisite design and the traditional<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> custom-made look. Doors are trimmed in dark<br />
broadcloth in six-inch pipes above door panel trim cloth<br />
of light color. Four height-of-the-season color combinations<br />
are available. They are dark gray tailored with light<br />
gray for an incredibly beautiful combination—rich<br />
brown broadcloth blended with tan cord or patterned<br />
cloth—darkly brilliant green that accents a green of<br />
delicate shade—or lovely pale blue combined with a<br />
crisp blue of darker hue. A center arm rest and large door<br />
arm rests enhance the comfort and convenience of this<br />
fine car. Floors are covered with wool pile carpets which<br />
harmonize with the upholstery. The go-everywhere<br />
charm of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> 62 Sedan continues throughout the<br />
front compartment. Heavy vinyl welts accent dark and<br />
light-colored upholstery cloth for a tailored appearance.

CADILLAC-FLEETWOOD 60 SPECIAL<br />
PAGEANT OF INTERIOR FASHIONS<br />

FRAMEWORK FOR LUXURY<br />
THE <strong>1952</strong> CADILLAC BODY<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> body for <strong>1952</strong> is designed and built, not<br />
only for style and beauty, but for safety, durability,<br />
quietness and riding comfort. It is little Wonder that the<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> body contributes so much to the owner's motoring<br />
enjoyment and peace of mind, for it is the result of<br />
matured designing, planned far in advance and steadily<br />
refined. An experienced styling team works in close cooperation<br />
on the CadiDac body to be sure that new styles<br />
are natural advances from previous models—and <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
owners are protected, both in pride of ownership and in<br />
real dollar value, because previous models of <strong>Cadillac</strong> are<br />
not quickly outmoded. All <strong>Cadillac</strong> bodies are built by<br />
Fisher, a General Motors Division, in the exclusive<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Fleetwood plant, under strict and exclusive<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> quality control methods. <strong>Cadillac</strong> bodies also<br />
bear the imprint of <strong>Cadillac</strong> engineers and stylists who<br />
work with General Motors and Fisher Body designers.<br />
This team has created for <strong>Cadillac</strong> a beauty and a design<br />
that sets the "Standard of the World" -in luxury cars.<br />

A SAFEGUARD FOR PROTECTION!<br />
Greater protection for <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners and their families<br />
is reflected in every detail of construction in the <strong>1952</strong><br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> body. The Unisteel Turret Top and other<br />
features add up to greater ruggedness to guard drivers

foundation. A rigid steel floor, reinforced by sturdy ribbed<br />
sections, is welded to box-girder steel members. Body<br />
pillars and steel uprights are also of box-girder construction.<br />
The Turret-Top is reinforced by double-ribbed steel<br />
bows and arc-welded into this assembly. This is a framework<br />
of tested strength . . . built for greater protection.<br />

WIDER, UNOBSTRUCTED VISION<br />
The wide, one-piece <strong>Cadillac</strong> windshield and windows<br />
provide full, unhampered vision and reduce reflections for<br />
easier driving. The deep curve of the windshield provides<br />
vision from side to side—where vision really counts.<br />
Wide, clear window areas are similarly provided all<br />
around the car—and are placed to provide the maximum<br />
safety and convenience for both driver and passenger. The<br />
rear side window areas are generous, and do much to<br />
solve the problem of "blind spots" in motor car driving.<br />
Tinted "E-Z-Eye" glass is available for all window areas<br />
as an option at extra cost in all <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong>s. Its tinted<br />
blue plastic, set between layers of Polished Plate glass,<br />
assures a minimum of eye strain under all driving conditions,<br />
and virtually eliminates annoying road glare. It<br />
also shuts out a high percentage of the sun's radiant heat<br />
waves, thus assuring lower interior temperatures in hot<br />
weather. Night driving, too, is greatly improved with<br />
"E-Z-Eye" glass—for it greatly reduces the glare of<br />
approaching headlights. The .*'E-Z-Eye" windshield is<br />
graduated from top down in its density, thus giving<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> passengers unusual protection from the sun.<br />
42
LARGE REAR VENTI-PANES<br />
Seen here from the interior, the large rear venti-panes<br />
afford excellent vision. Each individually controlled<br />
rear ventilation window provides air circulation without<br />
allowing disturbing drafts to enter the car.<br />
The extra-large <strong>Cadillac</strong> rear window is curved to the<br />
contours of the body to provide better rear-view visibility.<br />
43
DURABLE DOOR CONSTRUCTION<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> doors are formed from two heavy steel panels,<br />
welded into a self-reinforcing, box-like assembly. These<br />
rigid doors" are precision hung with tough steel hinges.<br />
Every detail in the <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars has been carefully<br />
designed for comfort, convenience, protection and beauty.<br />
44
<strong>Cadillac</strong>'s advanced-type door check-links are designed for<br />
double service to hold doors positively in open position .. •<br />
and to help counterbalance the doors for easier opening.<br />
Sedan rear doors are fitted<br />
with door locks adjusted to disengage<br />
from the inside door<br />
handle. This safety feature<br />
safeguards children. When the<br />
doors are shut and the inside<br />
locking-knobs are pressed<br />
down (see photos), they cannot<br />
be opened from the inside.<br />

CADILLAC VENTILATING SYSTEM<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> All-Weather Ventilating System incorporates<br />
a three-fold heating, ventilating and defrosting<br />
system. The components consist of a re-circulating hot<br />
water heater located under the front seat, and a large<br />
heater-defroster unit mounted under the car hood. Series<br />
75 cars have two additional under-rear-seat heaters.
The floor and lower portions of the car are heated by the<br />
underseat unit. The upper portion is kept warm by the<br />
heater-defroster unit. The entire system is designed to<br />
provide driving comfort in all kinds of weather. For<br />
example, it provides cool, fresh air in summer and heated<br />
fresh air for winter driving. Cool or warm, the fresh air is<br />
gently pressure-circulated throughout the car interior.<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> All-Weather System is supplied with fresh<br />
air drawn into the car from outside. It builds up air pressure<br />
within the car body. Thus, air leakage is from the<br />
inside out and cold drafts from the outside are ehminated.<br />
A complete outline of instructions for operating the<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> heating system is contained in the <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
Owner's Manual to be found in the glove compartment of<br />
every new <strong>Cadillac</strong> car. A tag also bears instructions.<br />

I-BEAM, X-TYPE FRAME<br />
The rugged <strong>Cadillac</strong> frame supports and holds in their<br />
proper position virtually all other major parts of the car.<br />
It is built up from extra-strong side rails, joined together<br />
with a rugged I-beam, X-member, to provide a stronger<br />
backbone for the power, transmission and suspension units.<br />
The center section of the "double-drop" <strong>Cadillac</strong> frame<br />
makes possible the beautiful <strong>Cadillac</strong> low body silhouette,<br />
low center of gravity, excellent stability, easier handling.<br />
FRONT SPRING SUSPENSION<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> individual front wheel spring suspension is<br />
relieved of all braking and driving duties and functions<br />
to "level out" bumps in the road without transmitting<br />
road shocks to the steering system or the car body.<br />
A direct-acting, high-volume, variable control shock<br />
absorber is mounted within each coil spring. Each shock<br />
absorber has a small metering orifice for smooth city<br />
streets, a pressure blow-off spring for rough roads, and a<br />
restriction for cross country or unusually rough roads.
REAR "SEA LEG" SHOCK ABSORBERS<br />
For a combination that further adds to riding comfort—<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong>'s angle-mounted, rear shock absorbers control<br />
side-to-side movement at the rear of the car and cushion<br />
road shocks. Engineered to control spring action, the<br />
result is boulevard riding comfort over the roughest roads.<br />
HOTCHKISS DRIVE<br />
Hotchkiss Drive, a <strong>Cadillac</strong> chassis feature, provides an<br />
easier ride, protects the mechanism, and isolates road<br />
shocks from the car body. Passenger comfort is increased<br />
by Hotchkiss Drive because the driving force is transmitted<br />
and cushioned through the splay-mounted rear<br />
springs, which are equipped with "spread shackles" to<br />
reduce lateral movement. Less tire noise is transmitted<br />
to the sturdy body with this <strong>Cadillac</strong> chassis feature.<br />
53
PARALLEL LINK STEERING<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Parallel Link steering provides steering stability<br />
at all speeds. It is the most accurately designed steering<br />
system in the industry. A short turning radius and absolutely<br />
accurate steering geometry are among its features.<br />
And <strong>Cadillac</strong> steering is not affected by road variations.<br />
Due to Parallel Link steering, the <strong>Cadillac</strong> system maintains<br />
absolutely accurate steering geometry. Steering<br />
wheel shock and "fight" are minimized. Front wheels<br />
return to straight ahead position when car is in motion<br />
and turning pressure on steering wheel is released.<br />
54
EXTRA-WIDE EXTRA-SAFE WHEELS . . •<br />
AND LOW PRESSURE TIRES<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> "slotted-disc" wheels with extra-wide and extrasafe<br />
rims are especially designed to take full advantage<br />
of extra low-pressure tires. <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s extra low-pressure<br />
tires, which hold more air at lower pressure than ordinary<br />
low-pressure tires, provide more "tire-to-pavement"<br />
contacting area for better starting and stopping traction.<br />
There is less wear, greater safety, less heating and<br />
more cushioning effect, thus giving a much smoother ride.<br />
ADVANTAGES<br />
Softer, smoother, quieter ride. Better traction and<br />
road stability. Less driving fatigue. Easy steering. Coolerrunning.<br />
Less impact damage because low pressure<br />
absorbs road shock. Fewer repair bills, rattles, squeaks.<br />
Quiet operation at all speeds. Increased tire mileage.<br />
GREATER FLEXIBILITY GIVES SOFTER RIDING ACTION<br />
NOTE how regular tire tends to<br />
lump when striking obstacles in road.<br />
NOTE how deluxe, low-pressure<br />
tire "absorbs" obstacles in road.
NEW CADILLAC POWER STEERING<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong>'s power steering, a grand new <strong>1952</strong> alliance of<br />
the proven <strong>Cadillac</strong> steering system and a hydraulic<br />
booster system, is the latest, safest and most modern<br />
engineering innovation in sheer effortless driving.<br />
This wonderful new traveling companion accomplishes<br />
all of the former hard work of steering and brings to the<br />
automotive industry a pleasant adventure in smooth<br />
freedom-from-effort for driving and parking. Ladies<br />
among <strong>Cadillac</strong> drivers will discover that power steering<br />
makes even the longest and heaviest <strong>Cadillac</strong> easy to turn<br />
... easy to park... and easy to maneuver in heavy traffic.<br />
Better still, power steering permits the <strong>Cadillac</strong> driver to<br />
retain the true "feel" of steering, and it does not change
the owner's driving habits. All emphasis in the design of<br />
this safe, new unit has been targeted on comfort, true<br />
economy of driving motion and effortless pea-king. The<br />
maximum effort required to turn or park a <strong>Cadillac</strong> with<br />
power steering now amounts to only a few pounds of<br />
pressure by the driver on the rim of the steering wheel.<br />
An attractive feature of <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s new power steering is<br />
the fact that it does not assist in steering until a steering<br />
effort of greater than 3 pounds is required of the driver.<br />
Thus, in all normal driving, steering is accomplished in a<br />
low-effort range of from zero to 8 pounds on the wheeL<br />
Another advantage of the new system is that it retains<br />
the proven <strong>Cadillac</strong> steering ratio of 25.47 to 1, which is<br />
the same as that used on <strong>1952</strong> manual steering gears.<br />
Thus, the new <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> power steering may be manually<br />
operated at all times with or without the engine running.<br />
Unique in the <strong>Cadillac</strong> power steering system is the great<br />
reduction of steering effort from 50 pounds down to a<br />
few pounds—plus the realization that the driver is still<br />
steering the car. This can be illustrated by driving on a<br />
curve. As long as the driver holds the wheel, the car follows<br />
the path he has directed. <strong>Cadillac</strong> power steering<br />
does not steer beyond the path set by the driver. For<br />
example, if the driver removes his hands from the steering<br />
wheel—his power steered <strong>Cadillac</strong> car will right itself and<br />
follow a straight path as it does with manual steering.<br />
The new system is so designed that there is no hydraulic<br />
assistance under very light steering conditions, such as<br />
the slight maneuvering required to steer on a straight<br />
road. Another safety factor inherent in <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s power<br />
steering unit is that the hydraulic system, in addition to<br />
acting as a booster, also resists kickback or "road shock"<br />
and provides the driver with positive control of the car.<br />
Power steering is available as an option at extra cost<br />
on all <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars equipped with Hydra-Matic.
NEW <strong>1952</strong> BRAKE DRUMS AND<br />
THICKER BRAKE LININGS<br />
All <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars are equipped with brakes of improved<br />
brake-drum design for better cooling and longer<br />
brake life. The new brake drums are ribbed to dissipate<br />
heat and cool rapidly, thus minimizing distortion and<br />
loss of braking power. The new drum back has a stiffer<br />
contour which keeps the drum in even contact with the<br />
shoes. Brake life has been doubled by the addition of<br />
new thicker, longer-lasting brake linings on all models.<br />
New also for <strong>1952</strong>, are larger 12" diameter front brake<br />
drums on Series 60 Special and Series 62 <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars.<br />
The outer circumference of <strong>Cadillac</strong> brake drums are ribbed for better<br />
cooling. They are effectively sealed against water, mud or dust for<br />
longer brake life. A stiffer drum back helps to reduce drum deflection.<br />
58
Component parts of the power train include the new Hydra-<br />
Matic transmission. A second and alternate component is<br />
the famous <strong>Cadillac</strong> Synchro-Mesh transmission standard<br />
on Series 75 cars as well as <strong>Cadillac</strong> commercial cars.<br />
Other important components of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> power train<br />
are the precision-built, tubular propeller shaft, and full<br />
needle-bearing universal joints. These are designed to<br />
give much longer life and smooth, vibrationless operation.<br />
Also part of the power train is <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s semi-floating<br />
rear axles, with Hypoid gears. These gears are cut so that<br />
the driving pinion meshes with the ring gear, well below<br />
the center line of the differential. This accounts for the<br />
lower drive-shaft, lower floors and almost unnoticeable<br />
tunnel in the floor of the car. A new ribbed carrier for the<br />
hypoid gears is a <strong>1952</strong> feature. It provides a more rigid<br />
mounting and improved oiling. It reduces rear axle noise.<br />
ALTERNATE REAR AXLE RATIO AVAILABLE<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Series 62 and Series 60 Special cars are built at<br />
the factory with a rear axle ratio of 3.36:1 which provides<br />
excellent "get away" and wonderful performance. However<br />
many <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners may prefer an alternate rear<br />
axle ratio of 3.07:1 and, upon request only, cars will be<br />
built with this alternate ratio. The 3^07:1 alternate rear<br />
axle ratio offers economy of as much as % of a mile more<br />
per gallon in city driving, as much as from 1 to 2 miles<br />
more per gallon for country driving—depending upon<br />
the driver. At higher cruising, the 3.07:1 rear axle also<br />
offers lower and quieter engine speeds.

The spotlight of <strong>Cadillac</strong> engineering progress moves<br />
rapidly forward, and following in its path is the shadow<br />
of obsolescence, creeping over and obscuring yesterday's<br />
best. A head-on view of the powerful <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
engine reveals its low silhouette. As brilliant as the past<br />
performance of <strong>Cadillac</strong> engines has been, the <strong>1952</strong><br />
engine surpasses its history-making V-type predecessors.<br />
61
A FAMOUS CADILLAC ENGINE<br />
MADE EVEN BETTER<br />
FOR <strong>1952</strong><br />
It is a well-known fact that it is <strong>Cadillac</strong> that writes the<br />
history of V-type engines in America. In 1914, America's<br />
first V-type automotive engine was introduced by<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong>. In the following 37 years a whole series of<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> superlative motor car power plants were built—<br />
every one of which maintained the basic virtues of the<br />
V-type design. This year, <strong>Cadillac</strong> is proud to present the<br />
greatest of all of its V-type engines. This new, 190-horsepower,<br />
high-compression overhead-valve engine continues<br />
to set new standards for the entire automotive world.<br />
With the 1949 model, <strong>Cadillac</strong> startled the automobile<br />
industry with an engine which could be built smaller and<br />
more compact, to weigh less per horsepower delivered,
and cost less per horsepower obtained. The new idea to<br />
the industry at that time was the introduction of a shortstroke,<br />
large-bore engine for minimum frictional losses<br />
and maximum efficiency. Each year, <strong>Cadillac</strong> engineers<br />
have improved this 1949 version . . . until today, in <strong>1952</strong>,<br />
the product of tireless <strong>Cadillac</strong> research and effort is<br />
the highest development yet achieved in automotive power!<br />
This year <strong>Cadillac</strong> presents its improved creative masterpiece<br />
with even greater pride—a more powerful, far finer<br />
version of the traditional <strong>Cadillac</strong> V-type engine, already<br />
acknowledged the finest automotive engine in the world.<br />
The <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> power plant, like all V-type engines<br />
ever built in this country, owes much to the famous<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> engines which have borne the <strong>Cadillac</strong> name<br />
during the past 37 years. Through all the intervening<br />
years, <strong>Cadillac</strong> alone has concentrated exclusively on<br />
building America's finest automobile—and all have been<br />
powered by V-type engines. Today more and more auto<br />
manufacturers are turning to the obvious advantages of<br />
V-type power plants. As they do, it becomes apparent<br />
that no one in all the automotive world can approach the<br />
problem with the knowledge, background and millions<br />
of miles of experience which are <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s heritage.<br />

LOOKING AT THE CADILLAC ENGINE FROM ABOVE<br />
MILES AND YEARS OF TESTING<br />
It is an undeniable fact that no motor car engine ever<br />
built has back of it a history of development, testing and<br />
achievement, that is comparable to that of this new 190-<br />
horsepower <strong>Cadillac</strong> power plant. Its basic design, in<br />
addition to laboratory tests, has been proved over a<br />
period of 37 years in the hands of the world's most exacting<br />
motorists. In the course of testing, the <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
engine, like all of the models that have preceded it, has<br />
been exposed to every conceivable strain and hazard—<br />
sustained high speeds on the road; pulling tests up grades<br />
as steep as 27%; mud roads designed to draw everything<br />
out of an engine; water baths that search out any weak<br />
spots. Those who know best—test drivers and experimental<br />
engine specialists—say without reservation that<br />
the new 190-horsepower <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine is more powerful,<br />
more durable, more efficient than any stock car engine<br />
ever built—including the great previous <strong>Cadillac</strong> engines.<br />
68
THE CADILLAC V-TYPE<br />
OVERHEAD-VALVE ENGINE<br />
The many advanced features of the <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine<br />
literally establish it as the new "Standard of the World"<br />
in motor car engines. This great V-type overhead valve<br />
engine of smaller over-all size, larger cylinder bore and<br />
a shorter piston stroke was first introduced in 1949.<br />
The advanced features of this <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine are many.<br />
Among these is an overhead-valve combustion chamber<br />
design which assures controlled burning of the compressed<br />
fuel-air mixture to create a uniform power-thrust for<br />
maximum performance and combustion smoothness.<br />
Each year since 1949, <strong>Cadillac</strong> engineers have made a<br />
series of improvements in this grand power plant, and<br />
the <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine has had a lower heat loss and greater<br />
cooling efficiency than most engines. This factor is<br />
inherent in the basic 1949 design to the effect that 12%<br />
less cylinder wear area is exposed to flame than in previous<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> engines. This means longer engine life.<br />
There are five main crankshaft bearings in the <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
190-horsepower engine. They are placed in heavy bulkheads<br />
which help form a rigid box-like crankcase structure.<br />
This feature is partially responsible for creating the<br />
smoothest, quietest-running <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine ever built.<br />
Other factors contributing to smooth, quiet operation include<br />
a valve mechanism with high ridigity factors,<br />
hydraulic valve lifters and a minimum of air cleaner and<br />
exhaust system noises for greater passenger convenience.<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine for <strong>1952</strong> is a culmination resulting<br />
from years of research both in laboratory and on the road.<br />
It will take only a few minutes of your time—with your<br />
foot on the accelerator—to prove that <strong>Cadillac</strong> has again<br />
given the world a new standard for automotive engines.
NEW CADILLAC<br />
FOUR-BARREL CARBURETOR<br />
For added mileage, better performance and the safety<br />
and convenience of smooth and rapid acceleration—<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> presents a new, four-barrel carburetor of advanced<br />
design. This new unit, in combination with<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong>'s new unrestricted engine intake and dual<br />
exhaust manifolding, is partly responsible for the high<br />
output of the <strong>Cadillac</strong> 190-horsepower engine for <strong>1952</strong>.<br />
Important to <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners is the extremely high efficiency<br />
of the four-barrel downdraft carburetor. It almost<br />
doubles the intake capacity of the old style dual-throated<br />
carburetor found on many cars. This new carburetor helps<br />
provide instant response and rapid acceleration of the car<br />
at the driver's every need or whim. Although rarely<br />
needed, the same power reserve and rapid acceleration<br />
response of the car is now available at higher speeds. In<br />
operation, this four-barrel "carburetor of tomorrow"<br />
—made available today for <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners—works in<br />
two sets of dual-barrel carburetors mounted on the engine<br />
in tandem. The forward dual-barrel unit is the basic operating<br />
or "primary" carburetor. The aft dual-barrel unit<br />
is the "booster" or "secondary" carburetor, and comes<br />
into play as needed. At low speeds, the engine works<br />
from the primary carburetor. In driving emergencies on<br />
the highway, or when sparkling acceleration is required
in city driving, the secondary carburetor comes into<br />
action by additional pressure on the accelerator pedal.<br />
The result is smooth, powerful and satisfying acceleration.<br />
No noticeable "bump" is felt by the driver at the<br />
entrance of the secondary carburetor into engine use.<br />
Better, smoother performance in the top half of speedometer<br />
ranges requires a larger quantity of fuel-air mixture<br />
rather than a richer mixture. One of the major<br />
advantages of the new <strong>Cadillac</strong> four-barrel downdraft<br />
carburetor is that the "secondary" carburetor permits<br />
the engine cylinders to be packed more effectively due to<br />
the higher pressure in the intake manifold at the beginning<br />
of the compression stroke before the intake valve is closed.<br />
At low car speeds the engine does not get into four barrel<br />
operation. The bulk of driving and road load is handled<br />
by the "primary" carburetor. The brand new motoring<br />
thrill of instant acceleration from <strong>Cadillac</strong> four-barrel<br />
carburetion comes into play as it is needed.<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> engineers have also made improvements in the<br />
carburetor automatic choke control for quick starts in<br />
cold weather. The new four-barrel carburetor uses hot<br />
exhaust gases taken from the engine exhaust manifold to<br />
pre-heat quickly the fuel-air mixture in the carburetor<br />
idle-tubes and intake manifold when the engine is being<br />
operated in cold weather. This warming of the idle system<br />
helps prevent the formation of ice in the carburetor on<br />
cool humid days and eliminates annoying engine stalling.<br />
The fuel-air mixture when warmed ignites faster and<br />
burns more completely to provide smooth performance in<br />
starting and driving a cold engine. As the engine warms<br />
and the need for pre-heating is reduced, the hot gases<br />
are then returned directly to the engine exhaust system.<br />
ADVANTAGES<br />
• Quick starts in cold weather. • Freedom from stalling.<br />
• Greater fuel economy. • More power and speed. • More<br />
rigid construction. • Smooth and ultra-fast acceleration.
NEW 45-AMPERE EXTRUDED-FRAME<br />
GENERATOR<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> owners will have ample current for all electrical<br />
equipment from the new <strong>Cadillac</strong> generator output of 45<br />
amperes. This new generator is of the latest extrudedframe<br />
type and is of more rugged construction for <strong>1952</strong>.<br />
NEW HIGH-CAPACITY CARBURETOR<br />
AIR CLEANER<br />
For <strong>1952</strong>, the high-capacity carburetor air cleaner has<br />
been re-designed to direct a greater flow of air into the<br />
carburetor for better engine breathing. As in past years,<br />
the air cleaner is the heavy duty oil-bath type to provide<br />
efficient air filtering. This year the air cleaner is mounted<br />
with a center stud to improve sealing at the carburetor.
NEW LARGER EXHAUST VALVES<br />
To permit free breathing and better exhaust, larger<br />
exhaust valves of special alloy steel permit hot gases to<br />
escape rapidly from the cylinders. Valves in the <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
engine are spaced so that cooling water is circulated completely<br />
around valve ports. This improves efficiency.<br />
NEW WIDER "FREE-FLOW" EXHAUST PORTS<br />
In the <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine, the valve ports are wider and<br />
smoother with very low restrictions to permit free passage<br />
of gases with^inimum heat transfe? into the pons.<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong>'s exhaust valve-and-port arrangement contributes<br />
to the rapid passage of gas mixtures directly into<br />
and out of the cylinders, also improving efficiency.
HEW DUAL-EXHAUST SYSTEM<br />
Each bank of four cylinders in the <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine,<br />
exhausts directly into separate manifolds—one on each<br />
side of the engine. The exhaust gases are carried away<br />
rapidly through larger, improved manifold passages.<br />
74
©02I9S ?<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> for <strong>1952</strong> offers twin-exhaust manifolding, twin<br />
mufflers, twin resonators, and twin tailpipes. This new<br />
system results in less back-pressure on the engine and<br />
contributes greatly to increased performance of the car.<br />
75
SCIENTIFICALLY DESIGNED CYLINDER<br />
HEAD AND COMBUSTION CHAMBERS<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine is basically designed for compression<br />
ratios as high as 12 to 1. Such ratios are not practical<br />
today because of the limitations imposed by the type of<br />
premium gasolines generally available. The engine is<br />
designed to operate efficiently on fuels available everywhere<br />
and much of the efficiency of this engine may be<br />
credited to the high-compression design of the combustion<br />
chamber in the cylinder head. The compact shape of this<br />
chamber increases turbulence, shortens the flame travel<br />
and helps cool the last portion of the burning mixture to<br />
dampen "knock" and give smoother engine performance.<br />
COMBUSTION SMOOTHNESS<br />
The illustration indicates the compact shape of the combustion<br />
chamber. The flame front progresses evenly<br />
across the combustion chamber. This means uniform pressure<br />
on the piston head and a smooth delivery of power.<br />
Detonation is limited by the "quenching effect" of the<br />
small clearance area between the piston and the combustion<br />
chamber at a point opposite the spark plug. Complete<br />
burning of the fuel-air mixture is thus accomplished.
RUGGED CYLINDER-BLOCK<br />
CONSTRUCTION<br />
The rigid, box-like construction of the<br />
powerful <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> cylinder block<br />
distributes power stresses evenly throughout<br />
the special high-strength, grey-iron<br />
alloy casting. Five sturdy main bearing<br />
bulkheads, and heavy ribbing between<br />
these webs, relieve the metal of all<br />
internal stresses ordinarily encountered<br />
in high-compression automobile engines.<br />
WELL-DESIGNED PISTON-CRANKSHAFT<br />
ASSEMBLY<br />
Vital to good engine performance is a well-designed piston<br />
and crankshaft assembly. The use of small, light,<br />
scientifically designed engine parts is one effective<br />
method of reducing friction and weight in the <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
engine. The shorter engine design, introduced by <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
in 1949, increases the number of bearing supports from<br />
three to five and reduces the size and weight of crankshaft<br />
and camshaft. The 5 main-bearing crankshaft has great<br />
rigidity and great torsional resistance, which also increases<br />
engine smoothness and quietness in operation.<br />

,¾ PI * 1' 1* 1 Wt| i 1 "| ||"| 11<br />
SHORT, RIGID CAMSHAFT FOR<br />
SMOOTH, QUIET PERFORMANCE<br />
All <strong>Cadillac</strong> camshafts are machined from high alloy<br />
castings. The cam and hearing surfaces are specially<br />
treated to give them permanent friction-resisting qualities.<br />
Five bearing supports provide the short rugged<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> camshaft an even more rigid mounting, thereby<br />
mamtaining precision split-second timing of the valves.<br />
SUPPER-TYPE PISTONS<br />
REDUCE FRICTION<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> pistons feature the slipper-type<br />
skirt in which part of the skirt is cut<br />
away to reduce both weight and friction<br />
in the engine. This design allows the use<br />
of a short connecting rod of great<br />
strength. <strong>Cadillac</strong> pistons nest into the<br />
crankshaft counterweights. The light<br />
weight of these aluminum alloy pistons<br />
reduces inertia when the engine is operating<br />
at high speeds and permits faster<br />
acceleration. A special heavy-duty<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> oil ring increases oil mileage.<br />
RUGGED I-BEAM CONNECTING RODS<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> connecting rods are short, strong and rigid. All<br />
thrust surfaces are ground and highly polished to reduce<br />
friction to the minimum. For extra strength they are<br />
formed in I-Beam section for longer, trouble-free life.
LIGHTWEIGHT OVERHEAD<br />
VALVE MECHANISM<br />
In the <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine, lightweight,<br />
rigid overhead valve mechanism actuated<br />
by hydraulic valve lifters insures<br />
accurate tuning and quiet operation.<br />
Hydraulic valve silencers assure that<br />
there is no clearance space between the<br />
tappet and the valve mechanism parts.<br />
Valve reconditioning, necessitated in<br />
most instances by incorrect valve-tappet<br />
clearance, is reduced by <strong>Cadillac</strong> to a<br />
minimum, resulting in longer valve life.<br />
FULL-PRESSURE ENGINE<br />
LUBRICATION<br />
The life of the 190-horsepower <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
engine is prolonged by the effectiveness<br />
of its full-pressure engine lubrication<br />
system which pumps oil, under pressure, from the crankcase<br />
directly to the overhead valve assembly, and to the<br />
bearings of the crankshaft, camshaft, connecting rods and<br />
rocker shafts. A positive jet of oil is delivered by the system<br />
to the cylinder walls and to the piston pin bearings.<br />
79
NEW IGNITION WIRING<br />
The ignition system of the 190-horsepower engine is protected<br />
against moisture and water splash by the addition<br />
of new neoprene spark-plug boots, which are integral with<br />
the high-tension wires. Improved ignition wiring brackets<br />
and new terminals for both the distributor and spark-plug<br />
ends of ignition wiring have been added on all cars.<br />
NEW "FREE-FLOW" INTAKE MANIFOLD<br />
The breathing efficiency of the <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine has<br />
also been greatly improved by the development of a new<br />
intake manifold of balanced design. The <strong>1952</strong> manifold<br />
has larger and smoother passages than ever before and it<br />
is designed to deliver exactly uniform charges of fuel-air<br />
mixture to the cylinders for even greater efficiency.
COOLING SYSTEM<br />
OF ADVANCED DESIGN<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine is cooler in operation<br />
because its compact bank of cylinders<br />
makes it necessary for cooling<br />
water to travel only a short distance to<br />
reach the farthest cylinder. Also, the<br />
cylinder wall and combustion chamber<br />
area, in contact with cooling water, is<br />
small. This means an over-all lessening<br />
of heat transfer to the cooling water—<br />
thus more heat energy developed is<br />
available for power. Proper temperatures<br />
for all operating conditions are an<br />
inherent part of <strong>Cadillac</strong> cooling system<br />
design. The system warms up quickly<br />
and evenly because each cylinder wall is<br />
completely surrounded by the coolant.<br />
An integral casting, comprising waterpump<br />
housing and inlet and outlet<br />
water manifolds, eliminates all hose connections<br />
except one running to the lower<br />
and one to the upper radiator tanks.<br />
Because of low friction and low<br />
heat losses in the <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine,<br />
a small, light radiator is used.<br />
Each cylinder in the engine is<br />
completely surrounded over its<br />
entire length by cooling water.<br />
Arrows indicate the path of water through the<br />
cylinder heads as it cools valve seats and guides.<br />

THE NEWEST KIND<br />
OF EFFORTLESS DRIVING<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> introduces with its Golden Anniversary models<br />
a new Hydra-Matic Drive. This new unit retains all of the<br />
advantages of the Hydra-Matic transmission developed<br />
over the past decade, plus new flexibility, better performance,<br />
and a higher degree of economy than before.<br />
Simply stated, this new transmission has two driving<br />
ranges instead of one—a range for the open road and a<br />
range for congested city traffic and mountainous driving.<br />
The quadrant selector dial, located just above the horn<br />
button, provides for five positions of the lever—"Neutral,"<br />
two "Drive" positions, "Low" and "Reverse."<br />
Starting from "Neutral," the first driving position is the<br />
one to be manually selected for all normal driving requirements.<br />
It provides four forward gear ratios. These are<br />
automatically selected for maximum efficiency according<br />
84
to the pressure exerted on the accelerator pedal and the<br />
speed of the car. Fourth gear, which is the norma) running<br />
position after the car has gained momentum, has a ratio<br />
of 1 to 1. This results in exceptionally low engine speed<br />
compared to car speed, giving increased economy,<br />
smoother, quieter operation, lower oil consumption, and<br />
less wear on engine parts. This lower engine speed can<br />
make driving much more pleasing at higher car speeds.<br />
The second driving position locks out the fourth gear up<br />
to 75 miles per hour. This results in better acceleration in<br />
traffic and faster ''step-down" acceleration when the<br />
accelerator is put to the floor board, because advantage<br />
is taken of a low gear ratio. Tt is the range best suited for<br />
ascending and descending steep grades where traffic signs<br />
call for shifting into lower gears, because the transmission
will not "hunt between third and fourth going up a hill,<br />
and more engine braking is provided going down hill.<br />
The control lever may be moved at will between these two<br />
positions when traveling at any car speed below 70 miles<br />
per hour. Thus, by providing the most efficient transmission<br />
ratio for any requirement, coupled with today's<br />
highly advanced engine, <strong>Cadillac</strong> for <strong>1952</strong> offers brilliant<br />
performance with greater flexibility in traffic than ever<br />
before. Another over-all improvement in driving pleasure<br />
is obtained in the new Hydra-Matic transmission<br />
because, by operating at lower oil temperature and<br />
viscosity, there is decidedly less variation in "shift feel."<br />
The step-down shift from 4th to 3rd gear can be made by<br />
depressing the accelerator pedal completely for passing<br />
or for extra bursts of speed at car speeds of less than 65<br />
miles per hour. The step-down shift from 3rd to 2nd gear<br />
can be made at any car speed below 25 miles per hour.<br />
In former Hydra-Matic drives, the step-down from 3rd<br />
gear to 2nd gear was limited to below 12 miles per hour.<br />
In the new Hydra-Matic greatly improved emergency<br />
acceleration is provided in., the.12 to 25 mph speed range.<br />
Engine braking characteristics of the new transmission<br />
have been greatly improved over former automatic transmission<br />
designs. By placing the selector at the second
driving range, the transmission is held in third gear, thus<br />
giving adequate braking for moderate down grades at<br />
speeds below 70 miles per hour.<br />
For extremely steep grades, the selector may be set at<br />
"LO," to hold the transmission in second gear position<br />
for maximum braking at speeds below 40 miles per hour.<br />
Thus, with the complete combination of today's high<br />
performance engine, and new Hydra-Matic, the following<br />
improved results are obtained:<br />
• GREATER DRIVER AND PASSENGER COMFORT.<br />
• INCREASED PERFORMANCE.<br />
• QUIETER, SMOOTHER OPERATION.<br />
• OVER-RUN BRAKING NEVER BEFORE AVAIL<br />
ABLE IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS.<br />
• A COOLER OPERATING UNIT.<br />
• FEWER SERVICE PROBLEMS.<br />
• COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE SHIFTING<br />
IF DESIRED.

CADILLAC CARE FOR CADILLAC CARS<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> Service Policy<br />
The thorough and exacting attention to detail with which<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> cars are built, extends to <strong>Cadillac</strong> service which<br />
is planned to build lasting satisfaction. Every authorized<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> dealer has a personal interest in keeping each<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> car at its best. Recognizing its obligation to<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> owners, <strong>Cadillac</strong> has developed a rigidly enforced<br />
service policy which assures the owner certain benefits,<br />
regardless of the age of his car. This <strong>Cadillac</strong> service<br />
policy provides for prompt, efficient service everywhere<br />
throughout the country. Moreover, <strong>Cadillac</strong> dealers are<br />
proud to adhere to this policy of competent, friendly<br />
service and proud to provide genuine <strong>Cadillac</strong> service<br />
performed by skilled, trained servicemen. For the convenience<br />
of <strong>Cadillac</strong> owners, a listing of the geographical<br />
points where genuine <strong>Cadillac</strong> service is available has<br />
been included in the <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> Owner's Manual to be<br />
found in the glove compartment of every <strong>Cadillac</strong> car.

<strong>Cadillac</strong>'s leadership during these 50 years lives not<br />
only in the minds and memories of men, but in the records<br />
and archives of the industry. These "milestones" point<br />
clearly to <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s tremendous contribution to the<br />
motoring world—and to the fact that <strong>Cadillac</strong> leadership<br />

is in motion; in the ease of steering that enables you to thread<br />
1
mummr<br />
effortlessly through traffic. These features, plus <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s<br />
basic design and quality, contribute measurably to complete<br />
peace of mind when driving, plus a new and satisfying sense<br />
of security.<br />
And, by becoming fully acquainted with all features of<br />
your new car, this new satisfaction can be yours indefinitely<br />
with a little periodic care and attention.<br />
The purpose of this booklet, then, is to familiarize you with<br />
your Golden Anniversary <strong>Cadillac</strong> and to point out the simple<br />
care and attention that will be required to maintain its<br />
superior performance and beauty over the years. We recommend<br />
that you read the following pages carefully; then keep<br />
this booklet in the glove compartment of your car for future<br />

' CONVENIENT CONTROLS<br />
As you slip behind the wheel of your new <strong>Cadillac</strong> you will<br />
immediately discover how conveniently all instruments and<br />
controls are located for visibility and simplicity of operation.<br />
IGNITION SWITCH<br />
IGNITION SWITCH<br />
The ignition switch is on the instrument<br />
panel to the right of the steering column<br />
and lights up when either parking or headlamps<br />
are turned on. The key may be<br />
turned to any one of the four positions but<br />
only in the straight-up "Off" position can<br />
it be inserted or withdrawn. First position<br />
"Right" completes the ignition circuit and<br />
activates all instruments and accessories.<br />
"Full Right" position starts the motor.<br />
"Left" makes possible operation of radio<br />
J*'i
and heater only. For your own protection and In i-uoprtr,i> w-th<br />
authorities, always remove key when car is left unnttcndr-d.<br />
i£lZ*r*VF* mm 'r*'!! m * m<br />
STARTING THE ENGINE<br />
Before attempting to start the engine, see<br />
that the transmission selector lever is in<br />
the neutral position. To start a cold engine<br />
press the accelerator pedal slowly to the<br />
toe-board and release. This pre-sets the fast<br />
idle. Now turn ignition key as far "Right"<br />
as it will go. This operates the starter. DO<br />
NOT hold ignition key in the starter position<br />
longer than 15 seconds at one time.<br />
When you release the key it will automatically<br />
return to the ignition "On" position.<br />
When starting a hot engine it is<br />
advisable to hold the accelerator pedal halfway<br />
down. Do not pump the accelerator<br />
pedal as this tends to flood the engine. A<br />
flooded engine will usually respond quickly<br />
if you hold the accelerator pedal all the<br />
way down and turn key to starter position.<br />

HFADLAMP CONTROLS<br />
Yo i will find the headlamp control knob on the instrument panel<br />
at i he left of the instrument cluster. Parking lights come on as the<br />
knob is pulled halfway out. Headlamps operate as the knob is<br />
pulled all the way out. The instrument panel lights are on when<br />
'.he knob is in either position. They can be turned down in intensity<br />
or "off" by rotating the knob to the right. If your car is equipped<br />
with <strong>Cadillac</strong> fog lights, they are turned on by pulling the headlamp<br />
control knob to the "halfway" position and then turning on<br />
the separate fog light control switch.<br />
STARTER SWITCH<br />
TURN SIGNAL LEVER<br />
TURN SIGNAL<br />
uvm<br />
A turn signal lever is located opposite the<br />
transmission selector lever on the steering<br />
column. Form the habit of moving this turn<br />
signal lever "up" before turning right and<br />
"down" before turning left. This activates<br />
flashing signals on the right or left, both<br />
front and rear of the car, to inform both<br />
oncoming and following drivers of your<br />
intentions. Corresponding signal flashers are<br />
also placed on the right and left side of the<br />
speedometer. If you need to stop on, or<br />
close to, the* highway, always pull the lever<br />
down so that the left hand "flashing" lights<br />
will warn others. The "flashing" lights will<br />
operate only with the ignition switch on.<br />
BEAM SELECTOR SWITCH<br />
BEAM SELECTOR SWITCH<br />
Your <strong>Cadillac</strong> is equipped with every necessary lighting fatality<br />
to insure good vision and safety for night driving. "Sealed Beam"<br />
driving lights provide a country beam which illuminates well<br />
ahead of the car, and a traffic beam for city use or when passing<br />
another car. The beam selector switch is on the floor to the left<br />
of the brake pedal and it may be easily operated by the left foot.<br />
5
SEAM INDICATOR<br />
A signal Ught immediately above your speedometer glows red<br />
when the country driving lights are "on." For mutual safety,<br />
never leave the country beam on when approaching an oncoming<br />
car. This courtesy can reduce night driving accidents.<br />
PROPER USE OF THE MAM© BRAKE<br />
To prevent a parked car from rolling on<br />
slight grades, it is well to form the habit of<br />
setting the hand brake which is conveniently<br />
located to the left of the steering column.<br />
To apply this brake, merely pull the handle<br />
straight back. It locks automatically. A<br />
"tell-tale" light lights up when the hand<br />
brake and the ignition are on. To release<br />
the brake, rotate the handle left and it will<br />
return to normal position. When the handle<br />
pulls out more than several inches, it should<br />
be adjusted by your <strong>Cadillac</strong> dealer. When<br />
parking on hills, in addition to applying the<br />
hand brake, always place the Hydra-Matic<br />
selector lever in "Reverse," which automatically<br />
locks the transmission. Toe the<br />
front wheels of your <strong>Cadillac</strong> in toward curb.<br />

SHIVER'S SEAT ADJUSTMENT<br />
A simple, easy-acting driver's seat adjustment has been provided.<br />
For greatest driving comfort, merely lift the handy seat-side lever<br />
and slide the seat forward or back to meet your personal requirements<br />
for a relaxed driving posture. Releasing lever locks the seat<br />
in position. For front seat adjustment on Hydro-Electric equipped<br />
cars see page 36. As the front seat moves forward, it rises enough<br />
to afford drivers of short stature a good view of the road.<br />
One of the most important factors in truly comfortable motoring is<br />
£ £ intTtion. This has been provided for under all condrt.ons<br />
in the <strong>Cadillac</strong> All-Weather Ventilation System.<br />
Ventilation passages running from beh«*•«*-* «*£<br />
radiator grille lead to the driving compartment admitting outside<br />

To shut out offensive odors or exhaust gases containing carbon<br />
monoxide, often present in congested traffic and when parked<br />
behind vehicles having motors running, it is advisable to close<br />
both air intake valves by means of the push-pull knobs.<br />
A5H TRAY AND UOHTFr<br />
ASH TRAY AND LIGHTER<br />
A cigar lighter is located above the ignition<br />
lock. Pushing it in heats the element. When<br />
properly heated for use, it will click out.<br />
The cigar lighter receptacle is illuminated<br />
for easy replacement of lighter when headlamps<br />
or parking lamps are "on."<br />
The ash tray is built into the right side of<br />
the radio grille and tilts out when pressed at<br />
the bottom. It may be removed for cleaning.<br />
MAP LIGHTS<br />
For your convenience, map lights are<br />
located along the top edge of the instrument<br />
panel on each side of the radio-dial<br />
panel. With front doors closed, they may be<br />
operated manually by means of the switch<br />
at the left map light. They automatically<br />
serve as courtesy lights when either front<br />
door is open.<br />
WINDSHIELD WIPERS<br />
WINDSHIELD WIPERS<br />
MAP IIGHTS<br />
Windshield wipers are controlled by the<br />
lower knob just left of the steering column.<br />
To operate turn knob clockwise. An excellent<br />
means of cleaning the windshield while<br />
driving can be provided by installing a<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Windshield Washer. This protects<br />
against the dangers of a windshield smeared<br />
with road spray or mud from passing cars.<br />
Simply pressing the button in the center of<br />
the control knob causes water to be sprayed<br />
on both sides of the windshield to assist<br />
the wipers in cleaning off mud or grime.<br />
INTERIOR SUM SHADS<br />
SUN SHADES<br />
Interior Sun Shades are provided for added comfort and safety.<br />
They may be pulled down to the proper level to reduce glare or<br />
to shut out direct rays of the sun. They also may be swung to<br />
shield against sun rays entering through side windows. In addition<br />
to the vertical movement of the shades, they may be pulled<br />
out horizontally on the rods for a total distance of three inches.<br />
tOCATION OF WJSfS<br />
For convenience, several fuses are grouped together in one location.<br />
This fuse panel is located behind the instrument panel on<br />
the cowl insulating board, slightly to the left of the car centerline.<br />
Circuits with fuses on this panel include Automatic and Standard<br />
Heaters (30 amp. fuse); Radio (14 amp. fuse); Back-up Lights<br />
(14 amp. fuse); and Directional Signal System (9 amp. fuse). The<br />
spotlight is fused separately with the fuse located on top of the<br />
defroster opening cover on the engine side of the cowl.<br />
Three fuse clips are provided on the fuse panel. One extra of each<br />
of the three types of fuses (30,14 and 9 amp.) may be kept here.<br />

ELECTRIC CLOCK ADJUSTMENT<br />
A fully automatic clock is located on the<br />
right hand side of the instrument panel<br />
above the glove compartment. It operates<br />
on direct current from the car battery.<br />
Even a fine automobile clock such as<br />
this is considered a good timepiece when<br />
daily gain or loss does not exceed one<br />
minute. You should reset the hands occasionally<br />
to correct this. The reset knob<br />
projects from the center of the lower edge<br />
of the clock below the numeral "6". To<br />
reset, pull the reset knob out, turn hands<br />
to correct time, and allow knob to spring back.<br />
The clock may be easily regulated by turning the small screw<br />
located above the numeral "12". If the clock loses time, turn the<br />
screw to the right. If it gains time, turn the screw to the left.<br />
CAUTION: Turn the screw slowly and listen for the "click."<br />
Each "click" represents a change of about thirty seconds per day.<br />
r "
To set a station selector button, simply pull the selector button<br />
to the right and out, tune in the station with the regular manual<br />
control knob, then replace the station selector button and push<br />
it all the way in. The Automatic Push-Button Radio is equipped<br />
with new dual speakers.<br />
HOOD LOCK<br />
The hood lock is operated by pulling a<br />
lever which is accessible through the upper<br />
center opening in the radiator grille. This<br />
provides an opening between the hood and<br />
the radiator grille. To raise hood, trip<br />
release lever under the front center of the<br />
hood, and raise. To close hood, push down<br />
firmly. The hood lock returns to position.<br />
HOOD IOCK<br />
Off. PRESSURE WARMING UQHJ<br />
An oil pressure warning light at the left<br />
of the mileage indicators will glow red<br />
when the ignition is turned on. Under<br />
normal conditions this light will go out<br />
as soon as the engine is started. If it does<br />
not go out, the car should not be operated<br />
until the cause of the low oil pressure is<br />
located and corrected.<br />
"7ESSURE WARNING<br />
REAR VIEW MIRROR<br />
To shift the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Glare-Proof Rear View<br />
Mirror from clear daylight visibility to<br />
night non-glare visibility, simply adjust the<br />
small ear on the bottom of the mirror. The<br />
mirror can be adjusted on a new mounting<br />
to accommodate the driver's height and<br />
seat position for greater driving convenience.<br />
REAR VIEW MIRROR<br />
SPEEDOMETER<br />
Your speed, your accumulated mileage<br />
and your trip mileage are shown on the<br />
speedometer. To reset the trip mileage to<br />
zero, push in on the reset knob, under the<br />
instrument panel to the right of the steering<br />
column and below the ignition-lock,<br />
and turn it clockwise to desired setting.<br />
/----.-1¾<br />
SPEEDOMETER<br />
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR<br />
THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR<br />
The temperature indicator, located in the instrument cluster,<br />
shows the approximate temperature of the coolant in the engine.<br />
If the pointer should register above the center range during long<br />
continuous driving in warm weather, do not be alarmed, as the<br />
pressure-controlled overflow will normally prevent fluid losses up<br />
to about 245" F. Should the indicator show "HOT" on short<br />

<strong>Cadillac</strong> Avtomatic Heating System<br />
Your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Automatic Heating System incorporates a threefold<br />
heating, ventilating and defrosting system. The components<br />
consist of a re-circulating hot water heater, located under the<br />
front seat, and a large heater-defroster unit mounted under the<br />
car hood.<br />
The floor and lower portion of your car are heated by the<br />
underseat unit. The upper portion of your car is kept warm by<br />
the heater-defroster unit. The entire system is designed to provide<br />
driving comfort in all kinds of weather. For example, it provides<br />
cool, fresh air in summer and heated fresh air for winter driving.<br />
Cool or warm, the fresh air is gently pressure-circulated throughout<br />
the car. Series 75 cars have two added under-rear-seat heaters.<br />
DEFROSTING<br />
The large heater-defroster unit clears steam and frost from the<br />
windshield to provide better winter-driving vision.<br />
The rear window blower (with<br />
deluxe system only) keeps<br />
vital rear window areas clear of<br />
frost and fog for safe throughrear-window<br />
vision under adverse<br />
weather conditions.<br />
OPERATING THE HEATING SYSTEM<br />
Your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Automatic Heating System is controlled by the<br />
two levers at the left side of the grille. The lever marked "TEMP"<br />
controls the car temperature; push it downward to make the car<br />
warmer. The lever marked "AIR" controls the amount of ventilating<br />
and defrosting air; push it downward to increase the<br />
volume of air entering the car through the heater-defroster.<br />
TO REMOVE FOG AND ICf<br />
If fog collects, push the "AIR"<br />
control down further. For maximum<br />
defogging, push the lever<br />
down as far as it will go with<br />
light pressure. To remove ice,<br />
push the knob down with greater<br />
pressure to its lowest position.<br />
If the car then becomes too<br />
warm, lift the "TEMP" control<br />
to the top of its travel.<br />
This <strong>Cadillac</strong> Automatic Heating System is used in all <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
models. Two under-rear-seat heaters are standard in Series 75 cars.<br />
16
WINTffi ViNTfLATION<br />
Since the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Automatic Heating System<br />
is supplied with air drawn into the car<br />
from outside, it builds up air pressure within<br />
the car body. Thus, air leakage is from the<br />
inside out and cold drafts from the outside<br />
are eliminated. It is important, therefore,<br />
that all windows be closed to obtain the<br />
most satisfaction from your heating system.<br />
Anadequate supply of freshair is obtained in<br />
volume from outside through the defroster.<br />
Under certain conditions—when moving<br />
slowly or stopped in heavy traffic—it is "AIR" .,.„ IEVER „_,<br />
possible for exhaust fumes from other cars to enter the ventilating<br />
system and thereby enter the car. When this condition<br />
arises, push the "AIR" lever to the top position and push in both<br />
ventilator knobs. This will close the ventilators from the outside<br />
against dangerous fumes.<br />
SUMMER VENTILATION<br />
Pull out both ventilator knobs beneath the instrument panel.<br />
Adjust the ventilator deflector to give the desired air distribution.<br />
If more ventilating air is desired, push down the "AIR" lever to<br />
the position of maximum defogging as described before. If fog<br />
collects on the windshield, push down the "AIR" lever as described<br />
before. Push in the ventilator knob, it will discharge air<br />
over the windshield.<br />
TO START ENGINE<br />
Operation with<br />
Mydra-Matlc Prive<br />
Before attempting to start your engine, see that the transmission<br />
.selector lever is in the Neutral position. To start a cold engine<br />
press the accelerator pedal slowly to the toe-board and release to<br />
pre-set the fast idle. Now turn your ignition key as far "Right" as<br />
it will go. This operates the starter. A word<br />
of caution: DO NOT hold your ignition<br />
key in the starter position longer than 15<br />
seconds at one time. When you release the<br />
key it will automatically return to the<br />
ignition "On" position. When you are<br />
starting a hot engine it is advisable to hold<br />
the accelerator pedal halfway down. A<br />
flooded engine will usually respond quickly<br />
if you hold the accelerator pedal all the<br />
way down and turn your key to the starter<br />
.•srvK 1<br />
position. Do not pump the accelerator pedaf """*"' ~<br />
as this merely aggravates the condition. -^- NEUTRAI<br />
HOW TO USE THE TWO &MVING "0*" RANGES<br />
You will note that the "Dr" range has two positions. The left,<br />
hand arrow position of the selector lever will provide four forward<br />
speeds, the right arrow position will provide three forward speeds.<br />
for Normal Driving, the left hand arrow position should be used as<br />
the use of fourth speed will reduce engine speed and increase<br />
economy.<br />

VENTtlATOS KNOBS<br />
For Congested TratRt or Mountainous Mvhj, the right hand "Dr"<br />
arrow position should be used. In this position, only first, second<br />
and third speeds are obtained, improving acceleration in heavy<br />
traffic. The right hand arrow position also reduces automatic<br />
shifting in traffic and on hills and will increase the engine braking<br />
effort when descending grades.<br />
: When Passing, an extra burst of specsd may be secured by<br />
merely pressing the accelerator down as far ass it will go. This<br />
procedure automatically down-shifts the transmission to the<br />
correct speed for more power and faster, smoother acceleration.<br />
To Stop,release the accelerator and step on the foot brake pedal.<br />

R" REVERSE<br />
to Sotfc Up with your car stopped, move<br />
the selector lever to the Reverse "R" position.<br />
This can be done from Neutral "N",<br />
either "Dr" position, or "Lo" without<br />
pause. Lift the selector lever slightly as it<br />
passes the "Dr" and "Lo" positions. Press<br />
accelerator to move car in Reverse. The<br />
selector lever should not be placed in "R"<br />
while moving ahead on dry pavement.<br />
To "Bade" Hie Cor to free it from snow, sand, mud, or ice, merely<br />
move the selector lever back and forth between Low "Lo" and<br />
Reverse "R". No pause is necessary to shift to Reverse.<br />
PARKING ON HILLS WITH SAFETY<br />
Your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Hydra-Matic Drive will provide safe parking on<br />
hills or steep inclines. Just raise and move the selector lever to<br />
"R", after turning the ignition key "Off" and waiting a few<br />
seconds. As an additional safety measure, apply the handbrake<br />
and toe in the front wheels to the curb.<br />
PUSHING OR TOWING<br />
Cars equipped with Hydra-Matic Drive should not be towed or<br />
pushed for any greater distance than required to start a normally<br />
operating engine. Follow instructions below.<br />
For Starting—To start the engine by pushing the car, move<br />
the selector lever to the "N" (Neutral position). When the car<br />
reaches a speed of approximately 18 to 20 miles per hour, turn<br />
on the ignition switch and move the selector lever to either "Dr"<br />
position (not to "Lo").<br />
For Transmission Not Functioning Properly—The propeller<br />
shaft must be disconnected at the rear universal joint and removed,<br />
or the rear wheels raised off the ground to prevent possible<br />
damage to the transmission.<br />
For Mechanical Failures Other Than Transmission—Propeller<br />
shaft need not be disconnected if transmission has been operating<br />
normally provided that car has been driven a minimum of 1,000<br />
miles and that towing speeds of from IB to 25 miles per hour are<br />
maintained. Towing at high speeds may damage the transmission.<br />
tOW "lO" RANGE POSITION<br />
"Lo" range is provided for operation in<br />
deep sand, mud, or snow. It should also be<br />
used in ascending or descending very steep<br />
grades or where traffic signs call for the use<br />
of first or second gear. It is good practice to<br />
use "Lo" for starting car on ice.<br />

The original beauty of your <strong>Cadillac</strong> car can be retained for many<br />
years by having your <strong>Cadillac</strong> dealer apply the only approved<br />
restorative, protective service—the famous <strong>Cadillac</strong> BLUE<br />
CORAL Treatment. This is a scientific method employing approved<br />
materials and special techniques. Its results are unequalled.<br />
Since calcium chloride and other salts, road tar, insects, tree<br />

may damage modern automotive finishes, frequent, regular<br />
washings are recommended as a further protection.<br />
IMPORTANT FACTS ON CARS OF<br />
NEW TYPS CHROMS ON YOUR Oil<br />
Material restrictions that are caused by the national defense<br />
program have required a change in the plating process of some<br />
of the bright work on your <strong>Cadillac</strong>.<br />
Bo not seour or polish these plated<br />
Wash only with water<br />
parts-<br />
A protective coating of a special clear finish has been baked on<br />
plated parts and no supplementary coatings should be used.<br />
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED<br />
to prevent damage -to the protective coating. Abrasives and<br />
strong cleaning agents are harmful to this finish, therefore, conventional<br />
methods of chrome cleaning and polishing MUST BE<br />
AVOIDED.<br />
Repairs to SCRATCHES OR ABRASIONS that occur on<br />
parts having the protective coating must be performed within a<br />
reasonably short time to prevent deterioration of the finish. It is<br />
recommended that repairs be made only by those who are familiar<br />
with proper repair procedures and who use approved reflnishing<br />
materials.<br />
Your Dealer has complete instructions regarding this procedure<br />
and is well qualified to handle any repairs that may be necessary.<br />

Engine Break-in Instructions<br />
Your new <strong>Cadillac</strong> does not require a formal break-in period.<br />
You should drive it at varying speeds in a normal manner, just<br />
as you expect to drive your car when it is a year old.<br />
Precision manufacturing methods have prepared your <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />
for all normal driving, and it has already been tested under<br />
simulated road conditions at the factory.<br />
There are no maximum speed limitations which must be<br />
observed. For the first 100 miles or longer, however, you should<br />
avoid driving for extended periods at any one constant speed,<br />
either slow or fast, and you should avoid full-throttle "jack<br />
rabbit" starts and severe application of the brakes in stopping.<br />
Before The Mercury Drops I© Freezing<br />
.. • Hove Your Cor Protected<br />
with Anti-Freeze<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> factory engineers recommend using either a permanent<br />
glycol-type or an alcohol base anti-freeze, such as denatured<br />
alcohol, methanol, or propanol.<br />
Kerosene or other oils, or solutions containing calcium chloride,<br />
magnesium chloride, sodium silicate, or other inorganic salts, are<br />
not satisfactory for use in your <strong>Cadillac</strong> car cooling system.<br />
INSTALLING AMt-FHEEZ*<br />
The cooling system should be thoroughly<br />
cleaned, inspected, and serviced for winter<br />
operation before installing anti-freeze. Regular<br />
inspection of the entire system, to prevent<br />
leaks, should be made frequently after<br />
the anti-freeze is installed—with special<br />
checks made on hose connections, cylinder<br />
heads, and water pump.<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Heating Systems are so located<br />
that they do not drain, even when the<br />
hoses are disconnected, unless air pressure<br />
is applied. Do not rely on draining to prevent<br />
freezing on cars using Heating Systems;<br />
be sure to get anti-freeze into the<br />
heater cores to prevent winter damage.<br />

Engine Efficiency ond Protection<br />
Depend on Proper Cooling<br />
The cooling system of your <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine has been designed to<br />
maintain predetermined temperatures for efficient operation,<br />
and to protect it from over-heating. On care equipped with<br />
heaters, the normal capacity of the system is 20 quarts.<br />
The cooling system requires regular attention. The proper<br />
coolant level is two inches below the top of the filler neck. Keep<br />
the system leak-proof by having all connections tightened regularly.<br />
Have your Authorized <strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealer clean and flush the<br />
system twice a year, or every 6,000 miles for the best efficiency.<br />
CADILLAC COOLING SYSTEM INHIBITOR<br />
Your <strong>Cadillac</strong>, when delivered to you, contains a charge of<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Cooling System Inhibitor, a special chemical that retards<br />
the formation of rust and scale and reduces the possibility of<br />
water pump squeal. Regardless of the season, a fresh charge of<br />
Inhibitor should be added whenever the system is drained and<br />
refilled, even when an anti-freeze containing Inhibitor is being<br />
used. <strong>Cadillac</strong> Cooling System Inhibitor is recommended because<br />
of its effective action, and because it can be safely used with<br />
any standard anti-freeze. It can be obtained from your Dealer,<br />

lie Sure off Thorough, Systematic<br />
Lubrication off Your <strong>Cadillac</strong> • • •<br />
Systematic lubrication is the best means of guarding against inadequate<br />
lubrication and possibly extensive repairs. In order to<br />
provide a means of having the car lubricated systematically,<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> engineers designed a plan known as The <strong>Cadillac</strong> Lubrication<br />
Agreement. This agreement provides for every lubrication<br />
requirement including engine oil changes essential to the proper<br />
performance of your <strong>Cadillac</strong> for 12,000 miles or a period of one<br />
year. Ask your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealer to explain this <strong>Cadillac</strong> Lubrication<br />
Agreement plan to you. It is a plan that will assure you proper and<br />
complete lubrication systematically performed over an entire<br />
year's period.<br />
INGfMH Oft<br />
RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
Your use of the proper engine oil is of great importance in<br />
obtaining maximum performance and satisfaction from your car.<br />
Oil oxidizes when heated. Unless protected against oxidation,<br />
crankcase oils may form sludge and varnish, and under some<br />
conditions, corrosive acids.<br />
To minimize the formation of these harmful decomposition<br />
products and to supply the type of oil best suited for the different<br />
operating conditions, the refiners market several different types<br />
of oils.<br />
In many instances, during so-called moderate or light driving<br />
conditions when the engine is used infrequently or driven for<br />
short periods, the lubricating oil does not reach normal operating<br />
temperatures. Engine sludge formation increases under these<br />
conditions.<br />
for maximum protection at your <strong>Cadillac</strong> engine under ail driving conditions.<br />
It is recommended that Heavy-Buty oils b* used.<br />
nm msr soo mim<br />
For the first 500 miles, use the heavy-duty oil in the crankcase at<br />
the time your car was delivered to you. During this period should<br />
additional oil be necessary, use nothing heavier than 10-W oil in<br />
winter or 20-W oil in summer. Change oil at 500 miles. Break-in<br />
oils or compounds are entirely unnecessary.<br />
AFTER tm mST 500 MILES<br />
For the best all-around engine performance after the first 500<br />
miles, SAE 20-W or SAE 20 engine oil should be used during<br />
summer weather. If your car fa regularly driven at high speed,<br />
or if the prevailing daylight temperature averages above 90° F.,<br />
SAE 30 oil may be used.<br />
For cold weather, oil should be selected that will permit easy<br />
starting at the lowest temperature anticipated for the entire<br />
period. Unless the proper oil is selected, you may have difficulty<br />
starting your car if the temperature drops suddenly. The viscosity<br />
grades of engine oil for use in your <strong>Cadillac</strong> at the various cold<br />
weather temperatures are given below:<br />
If you anticipate that the minimum<br />
atmospheric temperature will be:<br />
Use Grade;<br />
Not lower than 30^. above zero. 20-W or SAE 20<br />
Not lower than 10°F. above zero 20-W or SAE 20<br />
Not lower than 10°?. below zero 10-W or SAE 10<br />
Below 10°F. below zero.<br />
5-W*<br />
NOTE: When continued warmer temperatures are encountered, S-W<br />
oil should be drained and the higher viscosity grades used. 5-W {or<br />
10-W plus 10% kerosene in emergencies) is recommended only for<br />
those territories where the temperature remains below zero for long<br />
periods.<br />

MAINTAIN<br />
PROPER OIL LEVEL<br />
The engine crankcase oil capacity is five<br />
quarts. Always maintain the proper oil<br />
level. The oil indicator is marked for a safe<br />
driving range. Whenever the level falls to<br />
the "add oil" mark, add immediately. Do<br />
not add above the "full" mark. Check your<br />
oil each time you buy gasoline and before<br />
starting long drives. After the initial change<br />
at 500 miles and a second oil change at 2,000<br />
miles, engine oil should be drained and<br />
replaced every 2,000 miles. More frequent<br />
changes are required with unusual stop and<br />
go operation, dusty road travel or during<br />
prolonged cold or wet climatic conditions.<br />

depends upon the use of a fluid of very<br />
exacting specifications, compounded especially<br />
for Automatic Transmissions. This<br />
fluid can be obtained from Authorized<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealers and reputable service<br />
stations who carry fluid which has been<br />
qualified by General Motors Corporation<br />
for use in <strong>Cadillac</strong> Hydra-Matic Transmissions.<br />
Approved Hydra-Matic Fluid is<br />

by the qualification number "AQ-ATF."<br />
Authorized <strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealers will check<br />
the fluid level in your Hydra-Matic Drive<br />
every 2,000 miles at the same time that<br />
your car is being lubricated —and, if necessary,<br />
they will add fluid.<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> Hydra-Matic Drive should<br />

should be used when the average air temperature<br />
is above 32 degrees P., otherwise<br />
SAE 20 engine oil. Proper care of the air<br />
cleaner prevents much outside dirt and<br />

familiar with these requirements and having the right materials<br />
should be permitted to lubricate your <strong>Cadillac</strong>.<br />
RADIATOR mum<br />
CAP<br />
The radiator filler cap is located under the hood. The coolant<br />
should be checked at least every 2,000 miles, with the engine<br />
cold. Care should be taken not to lose coolant when cheeking.<br />
The correct level is two inches below the top of the filler neck.<br />
USE GASOLINE WITH<br />
HIGH OCTANE RATING<br />
Better performance will be obtained by the<br />
use of a gasoline having a high octane rating.<br />
, The use of gasoline with a low octane rating<br />
tends to increase the possibility of "pinging"<br />
with a resultant reduction in engine operating<br />
efficiency. If a "pinging" condition is<br />
either excessive or prolonged, using a premium<br />
fuel, see your <strong>Cadillac</strong> Dealer for<br />
adjustments.<br />
Should your car show loss of power<br />
at fairly high altitudes, do not become<br />
alarmed. Your engine is adjusted to operate<br />
efficiently at normal altitudes and any<br />
marked gain in altitude results in a lowering<br />
of air pressure and may affect performance.<br />
A SAFETY PRECAUTION<br />
Avoid removing the filler cap while the<br />
engine is hot. However, should it become<br />
absolutely necessary to do so, rotate the<br />
cap toward the left until the first stop is<br />
reached and allow pressure to escape. Then<br />
turn again to the left to remove. Be sure<br />
the cap fits tightly when reinstalled.<br />

The capacity of the gasoline tank on all Series is 20 gallons.<br />
The gasoline filler cap is located under the hinged top of the<br />
left rear lamp. Open by pushing in the reflector button at the<br />
base of the lamp. When closed, the cover is held firmly in position.<br />
ENGINE OIL LEVEL INDICATOR<br />
The engine oil level indicator is on the left side of the crankcase.<br />
The combination oil filler and crankcase ventilator cap is in the<br />
center of the engine in front of the carburetor. It is wise to have<br />
the oil level checked each time gasoline is purchased. Add oil<br />
whenever the level is down to the "add oil" mark, but add only<br />
enough to bring level up to the "full" mark or the five quart<br />
level. Avoid overfilling crankcase, since this may cause the oil<br />
to foam. The copper gauze in the cap should be cleaned in solvent,<br />
then dipped in clean engine oil each time the engine oil is changed.<br />

To clean white sidewall tires, use soap, warm water and a stiff<br />
brush. For severe Cases, a fine grade of steel wool may be used.<br />
DO NOT use gasoline, kerosene or any oil product that will discolor<br />
the sidewalls or damage the rubber. Proper care adds life.<br />

INTERCHANGING<br />
TIRES<br />
To equalize the wear on your tires and thus<br />
prolong tire life, interchange the wheels<br />
and tires on your car, in the manner indicated<br />
in the illustration, at least every<br />
4,000 miles. Wheels and tires should be<br />
criss-crossed and alternated with spare to<br />
assure even wear and maximum mileage.<br />
CHANGING<br />
WHEELS<br />
When a flat tire requires emergency wheel<br />
changing, follow the procedure below exactly:<br />
1. Make sure hand brake is set, and then<br />
block the wheel diagonally opposite the<br />
flat tire, with the wedge block provided.<br />
2. Place jack directly under bumper adjacent<br />
to the outside of the bumper<br />
guards. Note: If possible, move car so<br />
the jack rests on level ground. Raise<br />
until the wheel clears the ground.<br />
3. If rear wheel is to be changed, remove<br />
wheel shield as instructed in next note.<br />
4. Remove hub cap or wheel disc, using<br />
flattened end of jack handle as lever.<br />
5. Remove wheel mounting nuts by turning<br />
to the left. Lift wheel off hub.<br />
6. Installation of the spare wheel is performed<br />
by reversing foregoing operations.<br />
REMOVING<br />
CADILLAC REAR WHEEL SHIELDS<br />
MNtt*<br />
Turn the locking rod nut, located in the center of the lower<br />
edge of the shield, counter-clockwise by using the wheel wrench<br />
and then tap the locking rod nut down. Tip the shield outward<br />
at the top while raising op and away from<br />
the mounting hooks.<br />
To install the shield, engage the mounting<br />
hooks at the bottom of the shield with the<br />
fender hooks and then push the top of the<br />
shield in. Push locking rod up to its original<br />
position. Tighten with the wheel wrench.<br />
STOWAGE<br />
OF CAS JACK<br />
The jack stowage bracket is between the spare wheel and the<br />
right ^all. The jack should be mounted on this bracket as shown<br />
on the instruction label attached to the rear compartment cover.<br />
The base of the jack should be stowed in the pocket on the trunk<br />
wall, and the wedge inserted between the jack and the waE.<br />
The tire wrench should be placed in the tire well to the left of<br />
the tire with both ends in the weE where they cannot injure<br />
luggage or rattle against other equipment stowed in the trunk.<br />
Cadi!!« Hydro-toctric Operation of<br />
Windows, Front Seat, Convertible Tops<br />
The <strong>Cadillac</strong> Hydro-Lectric system operates the windows and<br />
the front seat adjustment in the Series 60S Sedan, 62 Coupe De<br />
Ville and the 62 Convertible Coupe; the windows and the division<br />
glass in the Series 75 Imperial Sedan; and the Convertible Coupe<br />
folding top. Hydro-Lectric equipment is optional on other models.<br />
HYDRO-LECTRIC<br />
REGULATION<br />
WINDOW<br />
The button controls for raising and lowering<br />
the windows are located on each door just<br />
below the garnish moulding. There are four<br />
control switches on the left front door to<br />
operate aE four windows on the Series 60S<br />
Sedan and the 62 Sedan Hydro-Lectric<br />
equipped cars. The Series 75 Imperial has<br />
four buttons on the left front door which<br />
control the raising and lowering of the two<br />
front windows and the raising only of the<br />
two rear compartment windows. On the<br />
Series 75 Imperial, controls for the rear<br />
doors and division glass are located in a<br />
convenient position at rear ash trays.<br />
On the Series 62 Convertible Coupe, the<br />
control switch for the right rear quarter<br />
window is on the side of the quarter panel<br />
above the ash tray. On the Coupe De Ville,<br />
this control is in the left-hand arm rest.<br />

HYDRO LECTRIC SEAT ADJUSTMENT<br />
The forward and backward adjustment of<br />
the front seat is also powered by the Hydro-<br />
Lectric mechanism. The control button is<br />
mounted on the front of the seat valance<br />
near the driver's left leg. The seat raises as<br />
it moves forward to provide comfort and<br />
visibility for persons of short stature.<br />
WHEN TOP IS FOiDE©<br />
The convertible top when folded MUST be securely strapped<br />
down to prevent chafing of the top material; the locking handle<br />
must be turned to a locked position; then install top boot.<br />
Keep the top compartment clean, and do not use it for storage.<br />
CONVERTIBLE TOP CONTROL<br />
HttWO-lICTRie CONVERTIBLE TOP OPERATION<br />
DRIVER'S SEAT ADJUSTMEN<br />
To open the top on the Convertible Coupe,<br />
stop the car; turn down sun visors and<br />
release the top center locking handle; push<br />
the front of the top upward so that it clears<br />
the windshield header dowels; return the<br />
handle to the locked position. THIS IS<br />
IMPORTANT. Then, pull out the top control<br />
knob, which is the lower knob on the<br />
control plate at the left of the steering column,<br />
and hold it OUT until the top is fully<br />
opened. Instructions on the folding of the<br />
top material and installing the top boot will<br />
be found in the instruction booklet in your<br />
glove compartment. To close the top, stop<br />
thf car; remove the top boot and unfasten<br />
1 •• hold-down strap. Push in on the top<br />
i -.-Krol knob and hold it in until the top is<br />
r • ly closed, then turn the handle from the<br />
l«- ked position. Draw top down over wind-<br />
-'ii-ld header dowels, and turn top center<br />
K-king handle to LOCKED position.<br />
"Sever raise or lower the top while the<br />
!•.!•• is in motion.<br />
In order to keep the mechanism in good<br />
working condition, the top should be operated<br />
at least once a month.<br />
To avoid water stains, mildew, or possible<br />
shrinkage of the top material, do not allow<br />
the top to dry in folded position after it<br />
has been dampened or water soaked.<br />
CARE OF CONVERTIBLE BACK WINDOW<br />
Si<br />
*•*•!<br />
Due to the texture of the plastic rear windows in the convertible<br />
top, these precautions must be exercised in their cleaning and<br />
care:<br />
1. When removing road dust do not use a dry cloth. Use a<br />
soft cotton cloth moistened with water and wipe crosswise.<br />
2. To clean use cold or tepid (not hot) water and a mild (not<br />
caustic) neutral soap suds. After washing, rinse with clear<br />
water and wipe with a slightly moistened clean soft cloth.<br />
Caution: Never use solvents or cleaners of alcoholic or<br />
other chemical content. These liquids may possibly have<br />
a deteriorating effect on the plastic and. if spilled, might<br />
spot the finish on the rear body panel.<br />
3 Caution should be used in removing frost, snow or ice<br />
during winter months. DO NOT USE A SCKAPER.<br />
INTERFERENCE WITH TOP OPERATION<br />
Interference with the mechanical operation of the top, seat, or<br />
windows—such as holding or retarding their operation in any<br />
way—should be avoided. If top sticks, relieve the point of interference<br />
to prevent damage to the top.<br />

Operation el<br />
New <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering<br />
If your <strong>Cadillac</strong> is equipped with the new <strong>1952</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power<br />
Steering system—the former work of steering is being done for you<br />
without need to operate any controls. Ladies in particular will discover<br />
that this system makes even the longest car—easy to turn...<br />
easy to park . . . and easy to maneuver in the heaviest traffic.<br />
Unlike other power steering systems, the <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering<br />
system permits you to retain the true "feel" of steering. All<br />
emphasis in the design of this new Power Steering has been<br />
targeted on your driving comfort—to furnish you with a system<br />
that requires a minimum of driving effort—and with a unit that<br />
makes parking almost effortless.<br />
One of the great advantages of your steering system is that it<br />
retains the proven <strong>Cadillac</strong> steering ratio used on <strong>1952</strong> manual<br />
steering gears. Atoreover, year l*ow»r Steering may he manually operated<br />
with the engine in the "o0" position. In the event your system is dhconnected<br />
for may reason—steering may be accomplished manually in me<br />
normal manner.<br />
Under all conditions of driving, you remain in control. When<br />
driving around a curve the car follows the path that you direct<br />
with your hands on the wheel. <strong>Cadillac</strong> Power Steering does not<br />
steer beyond the path that you set. For example, if you remove<br />
your hands from the wheel for a brief moment, your <strong>Cadillac</strong> will<br />
again follow a straight path just as it does with manual steering.<br />
Your Power Steering system is so designed that it gives you no<br />
hydraulic steering assistance under very light steering conditions;<br />
such as the slight maneuvering required to steer on a straight<br />
road. Another safety factor, inherent in your Power Steering unit,<br />
is that the hydraulic system—in addition to acting as a booster—<br />
resists kickback and "road shock" and provides you with positive<br />
directional steering control.<br />
License Pota<br />
The engine number, which is also the serial number, is stamped<br />
on the car in two places: At the upper right corner on the front<br />
face of right hand block, numbered at right angles to the crankshaft,<br />
and on the right frame sidebar just behind the engine<br />
support bracket. The engine number should be used in license and<br />
insurance applications and in general car reference.<br />

Color Charts For Interior Painted Moldings, Panels and Related Parts<br />
Interior moldings, panels and painted parts are finished in colors to harmonize with the interior trim<br />
material color shades. To assist in determining trim color requirements, if the trim color is not known,<br />
reference can be made to the trim code chart shown below. For convenience and assistance in procurement,<br />
the original color name and numbers are shown with matching Dupont reference. On parts using high temperature<br />
drying enamels, a reference is made to nearest match of air-drying lacquers.<br />
To insure maximum matching effectiveness, the lacquers must be thoroughly mixed and stirred.<br />
For easy reference and to cover the most commonly called for areas and parts, the reference is Keyed<br />
to six (6) major group charts, that cover the front end items namely, Instrument Panel, Windshield Garnish<br />
Molding, Steering Column Jacket, Covers, Horn Ring Hub and Spokes, Shifter Carrier, Speedometer Mileage<br />
Housing, etc.<br />
For accurate guidance in determining' the color of parts for refinishing, reference can be made to the<br />
Group reference chart to determing paint chart number for lacquer requirements. This group chart is arranged<br />
in numerical order to agree with the standard grouping system of the parts list.<br />
