Time was when a man have considered a Cadillac until he had owned even six different motor cars. But now adays more and more the happy man you sec in the picture stepping right up from their first car to a Cadillac. There are, we think, two basic reasons for this wonderful change. To begin with, the temptation to make the move to Cadillac has never been greater than it is today. The arresting grace and beauty its captivating luxury and graciousness its heArt-win- ning performance have all been brought to new peaks of perfection for 1955.

And secondly, the path to Cadillac has never before been so clearly marked or so easily traveled. Take original cost, for instance. The purchase price of the lowcst-priccd Cadillac is actually little more than many models in the medium-price field. And then consider economy. Few auto, mobiles of any size or make will travel farther on a gallon of gasoline and the car all but free from any save the most routine costs of maintenance.

And, finally, there is the resale value. Year after year, Cadillac cars return their owners a higher percentage on their original investments than any other automobiles in the land. So if you aaM feel thu you hay. to advance gradually to the car of cars. If you are ready to make the move, the automobUa you now own is the perfect steppingstone.
