2013 Cadillac XTS NY Auto Show

By Vinny O'Hare

Today was the first day that I attended the New York Auto Show and I was amazed by the amount of good looking Cadillacs once again. It was really hard to choose pictures to put in the post as both the ATS and the XTS looked amazing.

The new Cadillac XTS features a 3.6L direct injection engine and advanced all-wheel drive system, marking a shift to more-efficient performance in a spacious luxury sedan. The XTS also has a limited slip differential, Magnetic Ride Control and rear air suspension.

Ok that’s the technical specs, what I saw was a hot Cadillac. Cadillac really did a great job on the replacement for the STS and the DTS. There were two XTS’s on display today and I had a hard time choosing between which color I liked the best.

This was a metallic brown color that almost looked silver to me. It was just sharp looking in person. I will have plenty of pictures over the next few days. I had a lot of fun learning from the smart people on the show floor. Another highlight of the day was my walk-through of the Cadillac Cue system which is the future of all cars and Cadillac is once again the front runner.

Speaking of Cadillac being the front runner, it was 100 years ago that Cadillac introduced the first electric start vehicle at the NY Auto Show.

As I was getting out of the Cadillac Cue simulator which by the way is a replica of the XTS interior and comfortable beyond belief Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka took my place. Kind of exciting that I was in the right place at the right time to get a good picture of them with Don Butler of Cadillac.

Looking forward to taking more pictures tomorrow and learning more about the ground-breaking things Cadillac is doing. It is a very exciting time in the history of Cadillac.

2012 New York Auto Show Coverage

By Vinny O'Hare

Hi everyone! I realize that I haven’t sent out a newsletter in a few weeks. Just been busy and have had a cold that won’t go away. Tomorrow I am scheduled to go to the 2012 New York Auto Show at the Jacob Javits Center.

This is my first year having a press pass which I have been trying to get for about 3 years now. Last week I bought a new camera lens that takes amazing pictures up close. Last year I took about 7000 pictures and had a great time speaking to the Cadillac reps on the show floor when I could.

I am hoping that they have the Cadillac Ciel there which has been rumored in advance. I am sure the Cadillac ATS will be there as will the XTS. Should be a lot of fun. I am just glad to be able to take pictures without people in my way.

I do have to warn you that I will be sending more emails than usual this week and most will feature new Cadillacs. I know our membership is mostly vintage and classic Cadillac type of guys but I feel it is important to show what Cadillac is coming up with now. These will be classics someday also. 🙂

If you want to see some details from last years Cadillac at the New York Auto show see our Cadillac video page.

I don’t really have a plan but maybe I will get some of the nice people at Cadillac to do a podcast with me or a video.

1961 Cadillac Sedan Deville

By Vinny O'Hare

Carlos is looking for help finding the Cadillac that was used on his parents wedding day.

Carlos is asking if you can help him regarding the location of the chassis number of a Cadillac Sedan De Ville 1961, 4-door, 6 window model.

One of these Cadillac’s took my parents to their marriage in 1971.I found the license plate in one photo from my parents’ marriage at that time, and after 40 years I think I found him, in a bad condition, at a junkyard.

I just need to confirm his chassis number, but I don’t know where to find the number in the Cadillac.

Can you please help me?

As you can imagine, I will do my best to save this (very special) Cadillac to me.

I’ve included some photos of the Sedan De Ville in my parents marriage in September 1971, and as I have found him (I think it is the same) in a sale online.

Thanks for your attention.

Best regards,

Carlos

Let’s help Carlos out. I am not familiar with the year and model but I am sure someone from our group will know.
