Manufacturer catalog
Cadillac is General Motors' luxury-vehicle division and a historical U.S. armored-vehicle manufacturer through the Cadillac Motor Car Division. Its current catalog relevance is the M114 command and reconnaissance carrier family, which AFV Database attributes to Cadillac Motor Car Division of General Motors.
1 weaponsCadillac is best known as a General Motors passenger-car brand, but public armored-vehicle references also identify Cadillac Motor Car Division of General Motors as the manufacturer of the M114 command and reconnaissance carrier family.
That military-production context is narrow in this catalog: Cadillac is attached to the M114A2 support page because AFV Database identifies Cadillac Motor Car Division as the M114 and M114A1 manufacturer, while museum material documents the M114A2 upgrade context.
The M114 family was manufactured by Cadillac Motor Car Division of General Motors; the M114A2 support record covers the later 20 mm autocannon-armed configuration.

AFV Database states that the M139 20 mm automatic gun replaced the .50 caliber machine gun on some M114A1 vehicles in 1969, creating the M114A1E1 configuration later standardized as M114A2.

Cadillac is treated here as the historical Cadillac Motor Car Division production attribution inside General Motors, not as a present-day standalone defense manufacturer.
