* Founder Byron J. Carter had a cranking accident in 1908. His arm and jaw were broken, not serious injuries. But he didn't recover and died a few weeks later of pneumonia.

* His good friend Henry Leland, founder of Cadillac, said "I'm sorry I ever built an automobile. Those vicious cranks! I won't have Cadillac's hurting people that way".

* Cadillac engineers, led by Charles Kettering, proved that an electric starter could work, and built it small enough.

* The 1912 Cadillac and Cartercars models introduced the Self-Starer.

Sometimes I see an AI idea from someone else on the internet that I find so brilliant that I want to do something with it. I saw this on the OpenArt site,

changed the prompts a bit to my own taste, used it in Wombo and Image Creator and this is the result.

Here are my prompts:
