Show SAYS AMERICA'S BEST CUR IS CADILLAC "8" Such Is Verdict of British Motor Expert After 40-Mile 40-Mile Winter Ride. "So far as my experience goes, I can pronounce the Cadillac Eight the best thing in the Bhape of a motor car that has yet come to us from the land of the Stars and Stripes." This is what a British motor expert writes after a 40-mile ride in a Cadillac Cadil-lac Eight, through the slush and congested con-gested traffic of London streets and over the snow-covered roads of the open country. He says further; "It is to all intents and purposes a one gear car, as you can use the top speed (high gear) on anything from five to over sixty miles an hour. Tha accleration is really wonderful. Tho rate at which the car can jump from a creeping pace up to a mile per minute min-ute was to me a revelation. This was not, my firat introduction to the eight cylinder engine, having made a run two years ago on a De Dion with the same number of cylinders. The one Impression left on my mind in connection connec-tion with that trip was the smooth running of the engine. I described it then as 'being pulled along by a cable.' There was not only tho feeling of sweet and easy running, but the sense of supreme and constant power as well. My forty mile run in the new Cadillac, in and out or traffic, through slush and snow, up hill and on level, was a repetition of my previous exper. ence. "To use an Americanism, the new Cadillac is 'some' car, as it provides comfort bordering on luxury, speed far beyond one's requirement, and ease of control so simple that a child could drive it. You have seating accommodation ac-commodation for seven people. Thanks to a highly organized factory and an enormous output, the American Ameri-can company Is able to put this largo family car on the market at a price that almost defies competition." |
