Life, liberty and the pursuit – it’s all that any of us really want, right? Well, that and a car to “return the favor” when we turn it on. Cadillac’s recent wave of clever marketing has followed the trend of all the luxury GM brands: get young people driving these cars. As they look to push away from their exclusive retiree image, the folks at Cadillac are putting more power behind the wheel and relying on a little star power to drive the success of the brand.
The Cadillac Automobile Company was formed in 1902 from the skeleton of the Henry Ford Company. Ford left the company in the hands of his investors, who immediately brought in Henry Leland, an engineer working with the Olds Motor Company, to assess the value of their plant and equipment for resale. Leland used the opportunity to offer his own 1-cylinder, 10 horsepower engine as the platform for a new automobile company. Cadillac was purchased by GM in 1909 and continued a long string of innovations on what we consider standard technology today.
Cadillac is one of the brands that will survive the GM bankruptcy and be a part of the "new GM." Quality is up, and now they have to push hard on sales. GM is making a big push for Cadillac in emerging markets like China and Russia, and with a new beginning we might see glory days for Cadillac again.
