There are several vacuum marques that were in some way or other related to their car company counterparts, but Cadillac was NOT one of them. Even up until a few years ago, Clements Mfg. Co. loudly proclaimed that they had registered the Cadillac trademark first, before the car company. Clements existed until now but was just recently broken apart.
I have a couple of Cadillacs, I'm curious what kind you have. I don't think I've heard of a model 300 before. Upright? Canister? Cylinder? Handheld? I was wondering myself about reproduction woven cloth covered hoses, I really don't think there are any. Which is strange. | ||

Prior to WW2, and maybe a bit after, Cadillac was a major contender in the vacuum cleaner market. Are they rare? Not really, when compared to their contemporaries. But yeah, you don't see them often, and they are often overlooked when everybody and their dog is drooling over vintage Hoovers and Kirby's. Good luck finding parts, that's going to be impossible. For mine, what few parts I've needed (bag, wheels, belt cover), I've simply had to fabricate them myself.
