and relaxation, even on long journeys. It provides
tne elegance ol finish and convenience of appoint
ment so dear to the feminine heart, without any
sacrifice of the wonderful Cadillac power, and
endurance so appreciated by men. It would be
difficult to conceive of a car which adapts itself to
such a wide range of uses. It accommodates four
passengers comfortably.

panels over a framework of hard wood. The roof is
covered with leather. Doors and windows, the latter
of crystal plate class, are of weather-proof and rattle
proof design. The Cadillac Victoria is a rare combin
ation of elegance, staunchness, ease and efficiency.
