COMFORT CONTROL New to the industry and exclusive to Cadillac is a new optional fully automatic Comfort Control Air Conditioning system. Electronic operation of the combined heating and air conditioning systems provides the proper amount of air, warmed or cooled as conditions dictate, at all times, in all seasons, from a single original thermostatic setting. Even humidity is ideally maintained. Outside and inside sensing units respond instantly to temperature changes (virtually anticipating shade, sun or showers) to maintain your preset comfort level from one season to the next. For example, after you park in the sun, refrigerated air automatically cools the car quickly, tempers it as the car cools, and as you drive into sundown, automatically blends in the proper amount of warmed air. Constant humidity control not only adds comfort, but also reduces window fogging. In actual tests, a Cadillac was driven on a four-day trip from snow at 32 degrees to desert sun at 99 degrees, with interior temperature constantly maintained between 75 degrees and 78degrees - as the original setting dictated. If you desire, you can set your Cadillac Comfort Control Air Conditioning system when you buy the car - and never touch it again as long as you own it. | |
NEW POWER TRAIN SYSTEM Cadillac's Hydra-Matic, recognized as the industry standard of excellence, has undergone further refinements for 1964 - and a new version, the Turbo Hydra-Matic, is standard equipment on some models. In combination with the dynamic new engine - the most powerful in Cadillac history - both of these transmissions assure a truly amazing agility in traffic and a new overall standard of automotive performance. Cadillac's exclusive True Center Drive Line reduces sound and vibration practically to the vanishing point. Teamed with its all-new engine, Cadillac for 1964 provides such smooth, responsive and quiet performance that even the longest trip is one to look forward to with pleasure. |
