120 Years of Cadillac

[Robert Schles]

Has anyone else noticed the 120 Years of Cadillac advertisement? It mentions the 1964 model twice: 

"The 1964 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe combined style with power, boasting an all-new V8 engine with more horsepower and torque. Today, the powerful Escalade-V is the first SUV to offer the V-Series badge."

"Cadillac offered the first automatic climate control system in 1964. Cadillac’s dedication to comfort continues with LYRIQ’s next-generation Active Noise Cancellation and seating architecture that offers lumbar support and massage."

Nice that someone at GM remembers!  Not sure why they singled-out the Series 62. (Probability: The intern sent to do the research didn't know the difference.) 

If they'd chosen any of the up-level models from '64, they could've also touted the intro of the world's best automatic transmission. The new Turbo 400.  And tied that into the 10-speed automatic in the Escalade. Which is a really good trans. I have a new Escalade with a Callaway supercharger (602 hp) and it's more than up to the added amount of torque.

That is fantastic and great timing as I have started a side project of cataloguing and posting the 1963 and 1964 Cadillac related adds. Here is a screen shot of both.
