Photograph caption dated October 1, 1963 reads, "Cadillac, which reaches dealer showrooms Wednesday, has its new... look pointed by Alex Von, general manager of Casa de Cadillac, 14401 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks. With Von is Roberta Astamendi, 'Miss Casa de Cadillac.' The 1964 car feature a new engine, a new turbo hydra-matic transmission in many of the new models, new colors inside and out and many other new and exciting features. Martin Pollard, president of Casa de Cadillac, invites the public to view the 'new Cadillac.'”
