Artifact Overview

Henry Leland formed Cadillac in 1902, having created it from the remnants of the failed Henry Ford Company. Cadillac's first models were powered by a 10-horsepower, single-cylinder engine. The company continued building single-cylinder cars through the 1908 model year, by which time they were rather outdated. General Motors purchased Cadillac in 1909.
