Equipment<br />
Information<br />
Options<br />
The equipment options listed on the following page<br />
are available for factory installation on new cars<br />
at an extra charge. (Filler Plate and 3.21 Gear Ratio<br />
are at no charge.)<br />
New Groups 8 and 9<br />
In addition to the basic 1, 2, 3 and 4 combinations,<br />
two new equipment groups have been created—<br />
numbers 8 and 9.<br />
Both contain the same five popular items, but group<br />
9 also includes a Headlamp Control—code U.<br />
Separate Code for Recliner<br />
A passenger seat Recliner, which includes a pair of<br />
Head Rests, is an extra-charge option on the standard<br />
Eldorado bench seat as well as all bucket seats.<br />
When Bucket Seats are ordered on any car and a<br />
Recliner is wanted, both codes B and R must be<br />
specified on the order.'<br />
This differs from last year when R included Bucket<br />
Seats and is due to the availability of a Recliner on<br />
Eldorado bench seats.<br />
License Frames<br />
License Frames are not a part of any group. Order<br />
separately by their new code letters.<br />
L — One License Frame<br />
O — Two License Frames<br />
Group Restrictions<br />
One of the options in groups 1, 2 and 3 is Power<br />
Windows which are standard in all cars except the<br />
Calais series. Nevertheless, these groups may be<br />
ordered in all other cars except the following:<br />
Group 1. Stereo Radio is not available for the<br />
"75"; therefore, group 1 should not be ordered<br />
in "75" cars.<br />
Group 4. A Rear Control AM Radio is included<br />
in this group, which is only available for the<br />
"75"; therefore, it cannot be ordered in any<br />
other series.<br />
Why Groups?<br />
Using groups simplifies the ordering of optional<br />
equipment. It may also serve as a selling tool by<br />
offering the whole group as a desirable comfort and<br />
convenience package, instead of a more time consuming<br />
effort if sold on an individual item basis.<br />
If All Equipment Not Ordered<br />
When full equipment is not ordered, it is suggested<br />
that the customer be appraised of the options that<br />
were not specified.<br />
This reversal of ordinary habit will have a more<br />
positive effect by calling attention to desired items<br />
that may have been overlooked. It will prevent the<br />
possibility of inadvertently failing to bring to the<br />
customer's attention an option he may later wish<br />
he had ordered.<br />
Why Groups Change?<br />
The suggestion to maintain the same groups from<br />
year to year is sometimes advocated. It would have<br />
the advantage of familiarity. However, the introduction<br />
of new features and changes in popularity<br />
of some options make revisions necessary.<br />
Special Horn<br />
A special <strong>Cadillac</strong> four-note horn combination producing<br />
a harmoniously blended distinctive sound is<br />
available at extra charge, on all cars.<br />
Standard equipment consists of three seashell type<br />
horns which combine F, A and high C notes.<br />
When the Special Horn option is ordered, a fourth<br />
low D note seashell horn is added, resulting in a<br />
more vibrant, deep-toned, authoritative signal.<br />
Disc Brakes<br />
Front Disc Brakes (Code F) are an extra-charge<br />
option on the Eldorado only. They are not available<br />
on any of the other body styles.<br />
Air Injection Reactor System<br />
On cars to be registered in the State of California,<br />
this Closed Positive Crankcase Ventilator-Air Injection<br />
Reactor System is a mandatory option required<br />
by California law. Code V should, therefore,<br />
be specified on all new <strong>Cadillac</strong> car orders destined<br />
for original California registration.<br />
