You will find that the average owner, while proud as we arc proud of the high honor conferred upon his car by the War Department, docs not sec how the Government could well have done otherwise. The fact that the Cadillac was officially designated as the standard seven-passenger car of the United States Army, pleases, but doc3 not surprise him. England long ago anticipated this action by the American Govern ment, when the Dcwar Trophy was twice in succession conferred upon the Cadillac. We told the simple truth when we said a few weeks ago that there is only one thought in the world today about the Cadillac. That thought is that the Cadillac is a truly great motor car in name, and in fact, the standard of the world. 1 ,v J '"&' -tctJ ,: . . ,-,-.lL r-r- .a. i. s iifiismi i ifcia i V ai iLr .1 . "'!
