AS ALWAYS-THE STANDARD OF THE WORLD<br />

<strong>1954</strong> CAIUM^LC<br />

Styling<br />

In the new <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> motor cars, every styling detail,<br />

from the new, gracefully contoured front bumper, bumper<br />

guards and new grille to the new circular exhaust ports in<br />

the rear bumper, has been designed to make them the most<br />

beautiful motoring creations ever to bear the distinguished<br />

<strong>Cadillac</strong> name. The <strong>1954</strong> <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars are longer and lower.<br />

They have a longer wheelbase and a wider front tread. The<br />

new panoramic windshield with vertical corner pillars and<br />

vertical front vent wings lends a striking continental air,<br />

and at the same time, vastly increases visibilitv. New, and<br />

almost certain to be copied, are the two-inch windshield<br />

visors on Sedans and the new overhanging reveal moldings<br />

across the top of each door on all models. The new lower<br />

hood features a newly designed hood ornament, a new "V"<br />

and crest. Fenders, front and rear, are styled with new,<br />

straighter, swifter lines. The rear fender tail-light fins break<br />

upward more sharply, accentuating this famous <strong>Cadillac</strong><br />

style note. Smart in appearance, and functional as well, is<br />

the new cowl air intake extending across the top of the hood<br />

at the base of the windshield. These are but a few of the<br />

many styling features illustrated in this section of your<br />

Data Book. They are features that lend new distinction to<br />

the magnificent new <strong>Cadillac</strong> for <strong>1954</strong> . . . a car that is<br />

destined to set the pace in automotive styling for many<br />

years to come.
