March 12, 200917 yr Fleetwood Brougham got Cadillac on the radar of the rap artists. It was a game MAKER.
March 13, 200917 yr Cadillac did the engineering & R&D, starting in '32. Handed it off to Olds for in-car testing circa '37. Corporate called for Olds to debut it in order to take any reliability hits in Year 1 vs. Cadillac. Cadillac did the bulk of GM's engineering for the first 35 years or so.
March 13, 200917 yr Bathazar beat me to the punch, although lets not forget that before the V8 Cadillac introduced another innovation: the FOUR cylinder inline motor, back when may cars were still 1 cylinder powered.

Also the six cylinder BMW cost $53,000 in 1988. --- The 1967 Eldorado was a game changer, as was the original CTS-V. In a way those two cars are an example of Cadillac coming full circle.
