The Model B was introduced in 1904. The single cylinder Model B remained unchanged from the 1904 Cadillac. The horsepower was now rated at 9 instead of 8.5. In 1904, the optional 1524mm (wide track was not available on the Model B; but this year a 1549mm tread was also made optional by the use of tubular axle to replace the pressed steel axle with standard tread.
