1918 Victoria Coupe

Cadillac earned a reputation for dependability and engineering leadership by the time the 1918 Type 57 Victoria Coupe was introduced. The Type 57 included the Delco electrical systems, pioneered by Cadillac in 1912, and the world's first mass-production V8 engine, introduced in 1915, a 70-horsepower number. The Type 57 also introduced tilt ray headlights -- a mechanical system to "dim" the single filament headlight bulb by tilting the reflector behind the lens downward.
