have high, protruding transmission and propeller shaft
housings, these are eliminated in Cadillac V-8 by a
long transmission extension and the hypoid rear axle.
The Cadillac Custom V-8 employs the beautifully
curved instrument panel with recessed knobs. Interior
appointments include new, more comfortable arm rests
made possible by wider seats. A rear seat center arm
rest has been added. There are ash receivers and cigar
lighters in each rear side arm rest, carpet covered robe
rail and foot rest. Assist straps are attached by a novel
flexible spring which holds the straps at a corresponding
angle with the inclined pillar post. Each single pane
rear quarter window slides rearwardly providing a
ventilating opening of as much as three and one-half
inches if desired.
The new Cadillac Custom V-8 Sedan-Division has
a glass division without header panel within the front
seat back. The front compartment is upholstered and
trimmed to match the rear tonneau.
