After Henry Ford was replaced by Henry Leland (the master of precision), formed the Cadillac Automobile Company, in Detroit. Leland had previously made engines under the Leland and Falconer names for Oldsmobile before joining the Henry Ford Company to make his single cylinder engine for the Ford Model A, and Cadillac. When the association with Ford was broken, Cadillac continued to make the Model A mid mounted engine into 1904, when it was joined by the Model B which had a dummy bonnet (hood).. Leland practiced rigorous interchangeability of parts and his single cylinder Cadillac (1903-08) won the 1908 Dewar Cup in a spectacular demonstration of this when three new Cadillacs were disassembled their parts scrambled and three cars built from the pile of bits without any hand fitting.
