Cadillacs Lead Military Cadet Car Journey to San Jose
Thirty four days after leaving Chicago a Northwestern Military and Naval academy convoy of eight Cadillacs with about 50 cadets under Colonel H P Davidson arrived in San Jose. The group faced nine days of rain and tough gumbo roads as they traversed west, testing eight cylinder Cadillacs and support vehicles. The mission, led by Davidson and observer Lieutenant Arnemann, aimed to showcase military use of automobiles and spur further tours. The fleet’s most notable run was a record long mile stretch on a Stamford Conn track, while other cars such as Saxon, Buick, Mercer, Word, and Stanley competed in related speed events, including a Lafayette speed race.
