Cadillac has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1902. The company was known after Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, who founded Detroit, Michigan. By the time General Motors purchased Cadillac in 1909, the brand had already established itself as one of America’s premier luxury car makers. Cadillac was at the forefront of technological advances in the early automotive industry, introducing full electrical systems, the first cashless manual transmission, and the steel roof.

Cadillac was also the first U.S. car to win the Royal Automobile Club of the United Kingdom’s Dewar Trophy for demonstrating the interchangeability of its parts. Throughout its history, Cadillac has introduced many pioneering features and technologies. In 1912, Cadillac released the Model Thirty, the first production car with an electronic self-starter, ignition, and lighting, eliminating the need for a crank starter. Cadillac also developed powerful engines, including V8, V12, and V16 engines, which set the standard for the American automotive industry.

Cadillac also ventured into the luxury SUV market, introducing models like the Escalade and the recent Lyriq, its first luxury EV SUV.
