Cadillac Fairview story was written over fifty years ago in Toronto, when three friends - Eph Diamond, Joseph Berman and Jack Kamin - started their own construction company.While meeting over dinner one evening, a minor argument developed among the three over what to name their new venture. The name was decided when Jack Kamin went outside that same evening and got into his car-a Cadillac. They all decided that would be a good name, although it got them into a fight with General Motors, producer of the Cadillac automobile. The illustrious trio said the name was in the public domain because it belonged to the French explorer who founded the city of Detroit. Subsequently, the partners came to an agreement with GM who registered the trade name, prohibiting the use by anybody else of the Cadillac name.
