The first Cadillac in the world, an avant-garde masterpiece built more than 120 years ago.
Founded in 1902 through Henry Leland, the iconic American manufacturer with Cadillac Runabout that immediately replaced the stage at the time.
This two-seater ‘horseless carriage’, officially released in August 1903 at the New York Auto Show, was described by Cadillac itself as a cutting-edge model that blew attendees away.
This fundamental single-cylinder engine evolved 10 hp and had a start of $850, or around £680 at the time.
Adjusted for inflation, that would be roughly £70,000 today.
The Runabout was later renamed Style A, while an advanced style, called Style B, was introduced in 1904, which featured transverse front suspension and a wide front end.
During this time, both the Model A and B were sold as either a two-passenger runabout or a four-passenger rear tonneau.
In some cases, drivers would possibly even ask for their new vehicle to be delivered to them.
These motors were offered on sale until 1908, with the S and T models the final two iterations.
Cadillac, not very popular in the United Kingdom or Europe, is today considered an immediately recognizable name in the United States.
In 2023, they have sold approximately 350,000 international cars in 34 other countries, the brand’s main markets apart from Canada and China.
Today, Cadillac is owned by General Motors along Chevrolet, Buick and GMC, and is considered a luxury car manufacturer in the United States, although it is exceeded through European brands such as BMW and Mercedes.
However, Cadillac could expand its global attraction in the coming years after announcing the eleventh team in registering in the Formula 1 grid from 2026.
Currently, Super Luxe’s Cadillac Escalade Esv is one of the largest road-approved cars you can buy in Britain.
This resistant vehicle, which is twice as long as a Range Rover, has an equally huge price of £ 100,000 and has seven seats and a spacious trunk, all propelled by a V8 engine of 420 horsepower.
Elsewhere, a long-lost fast Ford with just 703 miles on the clock has recently been sold for a cool £150,000.
The highly sought-after old-fashioned vintage of 1992 has been specially replaced for motorsport and has a host of special features.
But the rare Cosworth escort has a mystery: It disappeared from sight for several years before reappearing in Australia.
