In 1902, a century long legacy had its start. The Cadillac company was founded by Henry Leland, who named the company after the discoverer of Detroit-Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac. Detroit was the cradle of American auto manufacturing, and Leland intended to honor the city with a high quality vehicle.

To this day, the Cadillac is a uniquely American symbol of quality. Recent Cadillac models have returned to their roots in terms of power and innovation. Cadillac has been a leader in innovation since it first introduced the crank less car in 1912-a car with an electric ignition instead of a dangerous crank
