With all of its richness and elegance, superb comfort and truly exceptional driving qualities the current Cadillac is always, regardless of year or season, the newest car you can buy. This is indisputably true of the 1967 Standard of the World.

In terms of handling ease and quiet performance, no other car is the equal of the world's most sought-after luxury automobile. There's also Cadillac's tasteful, evolutionary styling a significant reason why Cadillacs of all ages are recognized ai Cadill acs regardless of their year of manufacture. And testifying to this almost timeless appeal is Cadillac's remarkably high resale value. Two- and three-year-old Cadillacs and even some of the earlier models are in greater demand than many other automobiles that are presently in production.
