In 1701, it would have been unfathomable for French explorer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, to consider that some 200 years later, a person born in the “New World” would not only found a company named after him but the company bearing his name would set the standard for luxury in a motor coach that could move without horses. And it certainly would have been outside the realm of reality to think that 120 years after Cadillac was founded, the Escalade would set the benchmark for American SUV luxury. However, this is not a far-fetched story. It’s reality. It’s the 2021 Cadillac Escalade 600.
