Cadillac is born in 1902, at the dawn of the twentieth century. It's founder, Henry Leland, a master mechanic and entrepreneur, names the new company after his ancestor, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, the founder of Detroit. This is also the inspiration for the company's Crest. Which is based on the Cadillac family's historic coat of arms. Within six years, Cadillac lays the foundation for modern mass production of automobiles by demonstrating the complete interchangeability of its precision parts. As a result, Cadillac is the first American car to win the prestigious Dewar Trophy from the Royal Automobile Club of England and adopts the slogan "Standard of the World".

With its model Thirty, Cadillac debuts “the car with no crank”- the first production car to feature an electric self-starter, ignition, and lightning. Not only does this open up the driving experience to women, it also brings the Dewar trophy back to Detroit, making Cadillac the only car manufacturer to claim the distinction twice. In 1915, Cadillac introduces the first mass-produced car with a V-type, water-cooled, eight-cylinder (VB) engine, which goes on to become a signature of the Cadillac brand.
