Cadillac Pictures Volume 1 is For Sale on Kindle

By Vinny O'Hare

Cadillac Pictures Volume 1

Since I started this club back in 2002 we have relied on ads to pay for web hosting. I never dreamed in a million years that we would have our own product for sale. A few weeks ago I did a webinar on making books for the Kindle. Since the Kindle Fire has a color display I thought it may be a nice way to share some of the thousands of pictures that I have that have never seen the light of day. It would take me 100 years to put them on the site but I can load them into a Kindle book a lot easier.

This book is volume 1 and I plan on doing at least a book a month and maybe quicker once I get going. I priced the book at $2.99 with the idea we will sell more at a lower price. We may not have a cover yet when you go to the page –  Cadillac Pictures Volume 1 (Cadillac Photos)

If you don’t have a kindle you can download the Kindle for pc application that is on the right hand side of the page and read it on your computer.

2012 Cadillac Escalade is Getting Better Security

By Vinny O'Hare

Cadillac has really stepped up the security on the 2012 Escalade. Some of these features are cutting edge and will help with theft. Below is a graphic showing the features and the press release.

Just underneath the surface of the 2012 Cadillac Escalade are new security enhancements developed to combat thieves who have pushed and towed the segment-leading luxury SUV to the top of annual most-stolen vehicle lists.

The Escalade is already well-protected against typical drive-away grand theft auto through existing security features and standard OnStar security technology.

“The goal is to make the Escalade a very difficult target for thieves without any added inconvenience for customers,” said Bill Biondo, General Motors’ global leader for vehicle theft prevention. “The new systems work in the background and few people realize they are there, but they are strong added protections.”

The 2012 security enhancements:

  •     PASS Key 3+, a sophisticated encryption system for the key, key cylinder and ignition system (Deters: Drive-away thefts)
  •     A more-robust steering column-lock system that makes it nearly impossible to maneuver the Escalade onto a flatbed. (Deters: “push-away” thefts)
  •     An available inclination sensor that sets off an alarm when the system senses an unwarranted change of the angle of the vehicle, such as would occur with towing, flat-bedding or lifting the vehicle. (Deters: towing, push-away, and wheel thefts)
  •     An available shock sensor intended to reduce content theft and push-away theft by sounding the alarm when the vehicle is “shocked,” such as by breaking window glass. (Deters: Property theft)
  •     An available new wheel lock system to help prevent the theft of Escalade’s wheels and tires.

OnStar provides standard additional security with a remote ignition lock that can prevent the vehicle from starting if a break-in is detected. If a vehicle is stolen, OnStar can also provide vehicle location and remotely slow the vehicle down to assist law enforcement in vehicle recovery.

“Combined, these technologies comprise one of the most-extensive sets of theft-deterrent measures available for this type of vehicle and meet or exceed security specifications among global vehicle security analysts,” Biondo said.

The new inclination sensors will make it more difficult to push or tow an Escalade undetected. Undetected thefts and break-ins will also be more difficult with the added shock sensors and locking devices.

“These types of innovative theft prevention technologies are a significant step in helping to reduce vehicle thefts,” said Joe Wehrle, president and CEO of the National Insurance Crime Bureau.

Cadillac and Biondo continually work with U.S. law enforcement agencies to help educate police agencies on the various GM theft prevention systems and to learn the latest tactics used by auto thieves.

“We listen and analyze real-world security information from law enforcement so we can continue to develop effective theft deterrent solutions for our customers,” said Biondo.

Protecting Yourself Against Grand Theft Auto

Security technologies are an important part of the chess game between law enforcement and car thieves, but drivers are the primary defense against break-ins and thefts. To better keep you and your vehicle secure:

  •     Do not leave valuables unattended in unlocked cars, or in plain sight
  •     Park vehicles in well-lit areas or inside locked garages
  •     Don’t leave cars running with the keys in the ignition.
  •     Do not defeat the ignition/key cylinder immobilizers with aftermarket remote- start systems
  •     Always lock your vehicle with the key fob, which also sets the alarm system
  •     Use wheel locks with premium wheels
  •     Do not leave driver’s license, registration or insurance certificate in your car
  •     Purchase a vehicle with OnStar or the aftermarket OnStar FMV mirror, which will enable your vehicle to be tracked if stolen.

Cadillac has been a leading luxury auto brand since 1902. In recent years, Cadillac has engineered a historic renaissance led by artful engineering and advanced technology. More information on Cadillac can be found at cadillac.com.

Speaking of 2012

I have just discovered the Amazon Kindle and I am making photo books for this site. I have asked some of the members of our club if it is ok to use their pictures and everyone so far has said yes. I currently have 22 pages of pictures from the website and some that have never been seen before. When I go to car shows I will snap 1000 pictures very easily. It is just too much work to put all the pictures on the site.

I am hoping that the book will be finished over the weekend since I am leaving for Las Vegas on Tuesday for a week. I can see the book becoming a series since I have so many pictures. There will be a small charge for the book on the amazon marketplace. Just enough to help pay for the web hosting and maybe a few rolls of the slot machines in Las Vegas 🙂

The next email you should get should be the book with a link from Amazon.

I am very appreciative and so are our readers.









If you feel like it here are the pages from start to finish. You can start on page 1 of the 1959 Cadillac restoration page.
