Special:
- Cadillac was formed from the remnants of the Henry Ford Company when Henry Ford departed along with several of his key partners and the company was dissolved. With the intent of liquidating the firm's assets, Ford's financial backers, William Murphy and Lemuel Bowen called in engineer Henry M. Leland to appraise the plant and equipment prior to selling them. Instead, Leland persuaded them to continue the automobile business using Leland's proven 1-cylinder engine. Henry Ford's departure required a new name, and on August 22, 1902, the company reformed as the Cadillac Automobile Company.
- The Cadillac automobile was named after the 17th century French explorer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, who founded Detroit in 1701.
- Cadillac was purchased by the General Motors conglomerate in 1909. Cadillac became General Motors' prestige division, devoted to the production of large luxury vehicles. In the United States, the name became a synonym for "high quality", used in such phrases as "the Cadillac of watches," referring to a Rolex. In English usage outside North America, other brands are used in such phrases - usually Rolls-Royce.
- The Cadillac line was also GM's default marque for "commercial chassis" institutional vehicles, such as limousines, ambulances, hearses, and funeral home flower cars. The latter three of which were custom built by aftermarket manufacturers: Cadillac does not produce any such vehicles in factory.
- "DeVilles", derived from “De Ville” (French for “town”), has always been GM's top-selling luxury series and featured class-leading automotive technology.
- This third generation (1965-1970) was re-designed by Bill Mitchell and Stanley Parker (Cadillac Studio: tailfins canted slightly downward, and sharp distinct body lines replaced the rounded look) and assembled at the Detroit Assembly, Detroit, Michigan - USA.
- The 1970 Cadillac DeVille Series 68300 was available as this 2-door Convertible, as 2-door 68347 Coupé DeVille (76,043 units built), as 4-door 68349 Sedan DeVille (83,274 units built) and as 4-door 68369 Hardtop Sedan DeVille (7,230 units built).

- The nickname of the engine was "Stovebolt Six," which referred to the engine's slotted quarter-inch head bolts.
- The six-cylinder engine had overhead valves, non-pressurized lubrication, a cast-iron block and a fuel pump to feed the updraft carburetor.
- Chevrolet marketed this triumphant return as "A Six for the Price of a Four".

Il Divisionismo nasce a Milano, sulla stessa premessa del Neo-Impressionnisme francese, meglio noto come Pointillisme, senza tuttavia che si possa parlare di influenza diretta. Muove dall’idea che lo studio dei trattati d’ottica, che hanno rivoluzionato il concetto di colore, debba determinare la tecnica del pittore moderno. Si sviluppa nel Nord d’Italia, grazie soprattutto al sostegno di Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, mercante d’arte, critico, pubblicista e a sua volta pittore, che con il fratello Alberto gestisce a partire del 1876 una galleria d’arte a Milano. E’ Vittore a diffondere tra i pittori della sua scuderia il principio della sostituzione della miscela chimica dei colori tradizionalmente ottenuta sulla tavolozza, con un approccio diretto all’accostamento dei toni complementari sulla tela. Da dato chimico, il colore diventa fenomeno ottico e alla dovuta distanza l’occhio dello spettatore può ricomporre le pennellate staccate in una sintesi tonale, percependo una maggior luminosità nel dipinto.
Divisionism was born in Milan, on the same premise as the French Neo-Impressionnisme, better known as Pointillisme, without however being able to speak of direct influence. It starts from the idea that the study of optical treatises, which have revolutionized the concept of color, should determine the technique of the modern painter. It develops in Northern Italy, thanks above all to the support of Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, art dealer, critic, publicist and in turn painter, who with his brother Alberto has been managing an art gallery in Milan since 1876. Vittore spreads the principle of replacing the chemical mixture of colors traditionally obtained on the palette among the painters in his stable, with a direct approach to the combination of complementary tones on the canvas. From chemical data, the color becomes an optical phenomenon and at the necessary distance the viewer's eye can recompose the detached brush strokes in a tonal synthesis, perceiving a greater brightness in the painting.

Special:
- Buick originated as an independent motor car manufacturer, the Buick Motor Company, incorporated on May 19, 1903 by the Scottish-American David Dunbar Buick (who invented the overhead valve engine on which the company's success was based) in Flint, Michigan. In 1904 the struggling company was taken over by James Whiting, who brought in William C. Durant to manage his new acquisition. Buick sold his stock for a small sum upon departure and died in modest circumstances twenty-five years later.
- Buick soon became the largest car maker in America. Using the profits from this, Durant embarked on a series of corporate acquisitions, calling the new mega-corporation General Motors.
- At first, the manufacturers comprising General Motors competed against each other, but Durant ended that. He wanted each General Motors division to target one class of buyer and in his new scheme Buick was near the top: only the Cadillac brand had more prestige.
- The name Electra appeared in 1959 for Buick's senior models, when Buick renamed its series. The name was followed by “225” which designated the top of the line, signifying the vehicles overall length of 225-inches.
- Buick's biggest were related to Cadillac's under the body skin, but with their own vast V8 engines and GM400 automatic transmission.
- Between 1971 and 1973, all Electra 225's were built as Hardtop only.
- These "wallowy" boulevard-cruisers were hit hard by the energy crisis in late 1973, then drastically scaled down for 1977.
- The 1973 Electra 225 Custom Series was available as this 4-door Hardtop Sedan and as 2-door 4CV37 Hardtop Coupé (44,328 units built).
- This fourth generation Electra (1971-1976: 794,833 units built in total), restyled by Bill Mitchell, was assembled in Doraville (Georgia), South Gate (California) and in Flint (Michigan).

Special:
- TR stands for Triumph Roadster and PI for Petrol Injection.
- Wilhelm Karmann GmbH, Osnabrück (Germany) was commissioned to develop a "new" sports car with as many TR5 parts as possible. So only the front and the rear side were different. Mechanically everything remained the same and even the “ancient” chassis of the Standard Flying Nine from 1936, managed to survive this rejuvenation.
- The engine was already used in the ’67 TR5 and Triumph claimed in their sales brochure that it was the "First British production sports car with petrol injection".
- For the US market the engine (104 bhp / 4.500 rpm) was carburetted with twin Stromberg 175 CDSE carburettors because of U.S. emission standards.
- 86,249 units (total production almost 95,000 units) were sold at the American market and only 8,370 units were equipped with the powerful PI engine.

CSX train W094-19 eases across Bootleg Trestle on their trek down the NS Appalachia Division with 54 loaded side dumps/K&Js bound for the Nolichucky Gorge on the Clinchfield. The 3 head motors were left at Cadet/Big Stone by the Loyal crew returning light from taking C090 to Kingsport earlier.

Chapel of the Division of the Raiment
When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.” This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said, “They divided my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment.”
So this is what the soldiers did.
The Rainbow Division memorial is a bronze statue, 3 metres high, and is the work of James Butler, a British artist and member of the Royal Academy in London. It represents an American soldier carrying the body of his dead comrade. It stands on the site of the Croix Rouge farm, where the battle of 25th and 26th July 1918 was fought. It pays tribute to the US 42nd Division, in particular to the 167th Infantry Regiment of Alabama.

A Standard Flying 12 is followed by an STL bus past a Victorian terrace built from Kingsway Models in 1/76 scale. The model has been built from one and a half kits.
The building is just a little more than half relief.The division walls are built up through the roof which at one time was a requirement for fire safety.
