1.0 out of 5 stars The visual history of cars cadillac, December 20, 2001

By A Customer

This has to be the worst video of its type. Poor quality production with clips "Borrowed" from other automobile videos. I think I'll tape over this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun history of Cadillac, September 5, 2007

By	Mad Max (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

The other viewer is certainly entitled to his opinion. I know exactly what he's talking about - this video did have some cheesy archival footage & clips. Also, this isn't updated past the 90's, so the "new" cars here are somewhat silly by contemporary standards.

Nonetheless, I found this to be an entertaining and informative documentary.

The video provides a history of the company & the founders, a decent history of the development of the Cadillac from the 1920's to the 1990's, and it has some great archival footage. For example, the video contains rare footage of the first Cadillac off the assembly line, the first Cadillac plant, the first meeting of the first Cadillac board, etc.

Even though its not perfect, you can't really find a video solely dedicated to this subject anywhere else. I suspect that, despite some minor quirks, any automobile aficionado or the loyal Cadillac fan would enjoy this film.
