Cadillac furthered its reputation for quality and technical innovation when it introduced the first high-production V-8 engine in its 1915 model. The 70-horsepower engine remained in production, with minor modifications, through 1927. Cadillac's V-8 was a clear response to competitor Packard's six-cylinder unit introduced for 1912.
