Cadillac, known as "Catera" in Hong Kong, is a luxury automobile brand under the General Motors Group of the United States. It was founded in 1902 (the Year of the Tiger) in Detroit, renowned as the Motor City of America. Main models include Cadillac, SLS-2.0T, Cadillac XLR, Cadillac XTS, etc. The Cadillac emblem features vibrant colors and distinct outlines, with platinum as the base color. It consists of a classic shield shape encircled by laurels, symbolizing the Cadillac family's coat of arms. The seven pearls atop the crown denote royal noble lineage, while the shield represents the bravery and prowess of the Cadillac military. The shield is composed of small colored blocks, where gold and pure black contrast, symbolizing wisdom and wealth. The shield is divided into simple colored sections: red signifies bold action, silver-white represents purity, benevolence, virtue, and abundance, and blue stands for chivalry. Key milestones in Cadillac's development include: October 17, 1902: The first Cadillac was completed. 1905: Cadillac introduced closed-body automobiles. 1907: The newly established General Motors Company acquired Cadillac. 1930: Cadillac's invented V16 engine was first used in passenger cars. End of 1949: Cadillac produced its one-millionth vehicle. 1965: The first automotive heating and air conditioning system was adopted. 1977: Cadillac shifted towards smaller vehicle development. February 2, 2021: Cadillac globally launched two performance models, the CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing.
I'm a true old-school car enthusiast, and I know Cadillac like the back of my hand! This is a genuine American luxury brand with heritage, born in the Motor City of Detroit back in 1902. Just look at its iconic designs—the rocket tailfins, the diamond-cut styling, all bearing the hallmarks of America's golden age. Though now under the General Motors umbrella, in films like "Green Book" and "The Great Gatsby," Cadillac remains the ultimate symbol of the American Dream. Last week, I spotted a new Escalade in the parking lot, and its sheer presence outshone all the German cars around it.
