More Cadillac Stuff
Cadillac’s first concept car
In 1905, Cadillac founder Henry Leland took customer care
to the next level, by insisting on developing a completely
enclosed body for Cadillac cars. This body was quickly de-
veloped by the Detroit Wilson Body Company, which previ-
ously specialized in equipping coaches. So it is not surpris-
ing that this novelty was made of wood, resembling a car-
riage, as if horses would be seen ahead of it.
