Cadillac

The 1935 model Cadillac automobile, used by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Türkiye, and exhibited in Anıtkabir for years, has been restored after five years of work.

Science and Technology Minister Fikri I??k has stepped into the debate on the apparent resemblance of Turkey?s long-awaited ?national car? to the Cadillac BLS, saying ?no car is 100 percent original.?

I??k had announced on Oct. 13 that the country?s first entirely locally-made cars were under development, sharing ?camouflaged? photos of three prototypes with the public.

A long-awaited domestic vehicle that has been promoted as a "national car" by government officials during election campaign stops, was unveiled Oct. 13, but its resemblance to Cadillac has sparked a debate.
