Cadillac single-cylinder Models K and M

Completely new in design for 1906 were the gracefully curved bodies of the Model K runabout (three views, above) and the Model M Victoria for four passengers (three views, below). Center photo, above, courtesy Katie Robbins, CCCA

In this artist's view of the Model M Victoria for 1907, the beautiful brass lamps add flourish to the already heavily ornate body
|
Above, Henry Leland,
then aged 80, cranks his own Model M Victoria. Mind that thumb, Henry! |

|
Ground clearance on the early models was ample ...and essential when traveling dirt roads in mud and slush

survivor (in a more appropriate color for 1906) |

Cadillac four-cylinder Model H
|

|
![]() |
This sporty Cadillac Model H runabout cost a whopping $2400 (FOB Detroit) in 1906!
|
At $2500 (without
the brass lamps!) the new Model H touring car was ultra-elegant |
|
|
|
The Model H coupe was the first fully-enclosed production car built by Cadillac. It cost $3000, and the brass lamps were not even included
|
|
Cadillac four-cylinder Model L
|
|

These two models may be appropriately termed Cadillac's first true "luxury" cars. Their price put them out of reach of only the wealthiest buyers. On the left, we see the touring car, costing $3750 and, on the right, Cadillac's first semi-enclosed limousine, forebear of the renowned "Series 75". At $5000 (FOB Detroit), the big limousine probably found few buyers
