By 1916 Cadillac proudly referred to itself as the "Standard of the World." It was and still is -• the only automobile maker ever to win the prestigious Dewar Trophy twice, once in 1908 and again in 1913. Then, in 1916, Cadillac some out with its first V8, which effectively sealed Cadillac's claim to the crown in the luxury car field. From that moment on, Cadillac rose to new heights; V12 and V14 models in the Thirties, together with coachbulit bodies and quality to rival Rolls-Royce. After the war came the famous fins, a brand new V8 in 4949, and many innovations from then on. By the mid Forties, Cadillac was King of the Hill, and definitely the car to be seen in. In 4967, Cadillac further entrenched itself as America's luxury car leader with its front-wheel-drive Eldorado.
