REAR COMPARTMENT HOT WATER HEATER The new Cadillac Rear Compartment Hot Water Heater is designed primarily for the larger sedans and limousines where it is essential that heat be provided direct to the rear compartment. This new heater must be used in conjunction with the regular hot water heater-defroster that is mounted in the front compartment. It is adaptable to Cadillac Custom V-8, Fleetwood and Sixteen only. The new heater overcomes all objections to the previous type of rear compartment heaters inasmuch as: the rear register is flush with the floor thus avoiding interference with the passenger's feet, it is silent, and there is no possible danger of exhaust odors reaching passengers. The rear compartment heater offers motor car owners the last word in comfort. Ample heat in both front and rear compartments, and a clear windshield at all times by virtue of the built-in defroster on the front compartment heater. • 242 • REVISED 12-15-37
LUGGAGE EQUIPMENT Luggage equipment suitable for all modes of travel is available to fit the luggage compartments of all Cadillac and LaSalle Touring Sedan body styles. It is offered in brown and white striped ducoid with handles and edgings in natural cow hide. Three cases are available as follows: The Aviatrix, for women, lined with beige rayon, has hangers for seven or more dresses. r.fThe Aviator, for men, provides for hanging two suits without wrinkling and has ample space for all men's travel needs. The Wardrolette, a general utility case, is capacious and convenient. At the end of a journey, clothing may be lifted out and hung in a closet on the same clothes hangers. • 243 •
