Cadillac Service & Repair in Ferndale, WA | Willands Tech Auto

A Brief History of Cadillac

Cadillac was formed from the remains of the Henry Ford Company in 1902, after Henry Ford departed due to conflicts with investors. The company was reorganized by William Murphy and Lemuel Bowen, who hired engineer Henry M. Leland to develop a new vehicle using his proven single-cylinder engine. The result was the Cadillac Automobile Company, established on August 22, 1902.

Cadillac's first models—the Runabout and Tonneau—were completed later that year and showcased at the 1903 New York Auto Show, where they received 2,000 firm orders. The brand quickly gained a reputation for precision engineering and luxurious finishes. In 1909, Cadillac became part of General Motors and began producing large luxury vehicles, including limousines and ambulances.

Cadillac was a pioneer in innovation. Tailfins were introduced in 1948 and reached iconic status in the 1959 models. Cadillac was also the first automaker to offer seat belts in 1963 and automatic climate control in 1964, both of which became standard across the lineup. In 1990, Cadillac earned the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, and the 1992 Seville Touring Sedan was named "Cadillac of the Year."

Today, Cadillacs remain a symbol of American luxury, technology, and performance—and they continue to stand out on the roads of Ferndale, Bellingham, Lynden, Blaine, and throughout Whatcom County.
