One of my favorite Cadillac Club members has passed away. I just received an email from John’s daughter Tracy letting me know her dad passed away. John and I exchanged a lot of  emails over the years. I want to say that he was one of the first people to join from outside the USA. This was probably 2003 or so.

If you are in the area and want to pay your condolences the information is below. I will be raising a glass in his honor and I hope you will do the same. Knowing John I am sure he would love the American cars in the funeral procession. RIP my friend, you will be missed.

The funeral for John Richardson from Western Australia, will be held at Karrakatta on Friday the 10th Feb at 1030.   Funeral procession departs Bowra & O’Dea, 131 Great Eastern Hwy, MIDLAND.  All American cars and hot rods requested to be ready by 9:15.  Drinks afterwards at 7th Avenue Hotel, 74 Helena St MIDLAND.

Mark Reuss is the president of GM North America and this video is cool as you get an inside look at what cars they showed off at the North American Auto Show. Around the 1 minute mark you get to see the new Cadillac ATS at the same time everyone else did. I found this video interesting, hope you enjoy it.

If you are like me you can’t wait for the Super Bowl to watch the commercials. This year Cadillac will have a commercial for its new Cadillac ATS. You can wait for the big game or you can watch below.

The on-road performance of the 2013 Cadillac ATS compact luxury sedan will be the focus of a new advertising spot this Sunday during the U.S. television broadcast of Super Bowl XLVI.

The 30-second spot is available today on Cadillac’s official YouTube channel and Facebook page.

“The ad showcases what will make ATS a serious new challenger against the world’s best compact luxury cars,” said General Motors Global Chief Marketing Officer Joel Ewanick. “It’s an opportunity to reach a big audience with the message that Cadillac is expanding into new territory.”

The all-new ATS is Cadillac’s entry into the world’s most significant luxury car category. The straight pitch is a contrast to many Super Bowl ads, which use humor and other devices unrelated to the product being pitched.

“The car is the total focus of the ad, with actual testing footage of the ATS,” Ewanick said. “Competing head-to-head in an elite class requires authentic performance.”

The all-new 2013 ATS begins production this summer at the Lansing (Mich.) Grand River plant.

Here is a Cadillac video I filmed last week of a 1940 Fleetwood that was once owned by Howard Hughes or used by Howard on the film lot. Either way it is a nice Cadillac and it is for sale at 195,000.

Since I took 21 videos and not all of them were Cadillacs I am gonna include two or three videos over the next few post. I really liked this next car.

Cute little thing isn’t it?

Parked almost right next to what I call the Marilyn Monroe Cadillac was another great Cadillac that I haven’t seen before at the Auto Collection show. This is a 1950 Cadillac Series 61 Club Coupe that only has 15,000 miles. It was a two owner car, actually one owner that inherited it from the other and was kept in great shape for a car that is 62 years old.

Over the next few days I am going to be putting some cool videos I shot up on here. You may get a few more emails than usual. I will be shut in from the snowstorm that is coming to the northest so I will have time to make more pages.

This beauty of a Cadillac was used by Marilyn Monroe, Janet Leigh, and Bing Crosby just to name a few. I probably have over 100 pictures of this car that have never made it on to the site. This Classic Cadillac has been at the Auto Collection show in Las Vegas for a few years now.

Yes the Cadillac is for sale.

This beauty sure was clean. As you will see in the video this custom 1950 Cadillac was a shiny purple/blue metallic color that just shined under the lights. This was just one of the 21 videos that I took last week while on vacation. Over the next week or so I will be sending a new video everyday. Some of the cars will not be Cadillacs but other cool cars I saw out there that I thought you would all enjoy.

Here is a link to our other 1950 Cadillac pages.

I have been watching the Barrett-Jackson auctions and there are some incredible bargains on the Cadillacs. It is being shown on the speed channel. The Cadillac that is getting all the buzz is a hearse that carried the body of JFK to Air Force 1.

Here is a list of the Cadillacs that are up for auction.

I hope you enjoy the show as much as me.

As I am learning about the Amazon Kindle store I am finding some cool features. On Sunday I am giving the book away to everyone that has a Kindle.

If you don’t have a kindle and you like reading I suggest you look at the Kindle fire. I am loving mine and the amount of books that are free or close to free is amazing. I doubt I will ever buy a printed copy of a book ever again. Click here if you want to see the features of the Kindle Fire, Full Color 7″ Multi-touch Display, Wi-Fi

Just got back from Las Vegas where I had presented a session on fixing a website so it gets more traffic. While I was there I went to the Auto Collection show again. Here is a 1950 Cadillac Series 61 custom Cadillac. I will put up all 254 pictures I took after I re size them.

This is just one of about 10 Cadillacs that was there. I shot a video for each one also and I am sure that will take some time to get up.

Our Cadillac Picture Book

Our Cadillac Pictures book did well after a slow start. I am figuring out what Cadillacs will go in the second edition now. Once I get a system going I am sure I will be pumping these out on a weekly basis.

I am sure to include some pictures from Wes and Earle in the next edition. I am just loving the Kindle book experience.
