    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ADESA Partners with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to Pilot Next Evolution of Simulcast Sale Hosts Exclusive Livestreaming Sale from Four Locations as Part of FCA Inaugural CPOV Meeting CARMEL, Ind. – September 19, 2019 – ADESA, a business unit of global automotive remarketing and technology solutions provider KAR Auction Services Inc. (NYSE: KAR), partnered with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) to pilot an ADESA Simulcast sale outside of the physical auction sale-day environment. As part of FCA’s inaugural national CPOV (certified preowned vehicle) dealer meeting, vehicles were launched into auction from four ADESA auction locations — ADESA Golden Gate, ADESA Indianapolis, ADESA Kansas City and ADESA Las Vegas. FCA CPO dealers attending the event were able to participate in fast, live bidding action. “We were extremely pleased to work with our strong partners at FCA to demonstrate the powerful potential of ADESA Simulcast to this sophisticated and tech savvy group of dealers,” said John Hammer, ADESA president. “ADESA Simulcast allows us to bring the auction right to our dealers — exposing sellers to a broader buyer base and helping buyers access the hard-to- find inventory they need. We were honored to pilot this with FCA and to add to the excitement and energy of their annual meeting.” Launched earlier this year, ADESA Simulcast is a cloud-based auction solution that allows dealers to participate virtually in multiple in-lane sales occurring in any location. As part of ADESA Simulcast, participating dealers can easily access detailed condition reports, photos, valuation tools and transportation options for purchased vehicles. The FCA sale was the first use of the technology to launch from multiple sites in a non-sale-day environment to a defined, exclusive group of dealers.

  • City of Portland Union Pacific Railroad
    CITY OF PORTLAND UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD CHICAGO AND NORTH WESTERN LINE CITY OF PORTLAND The "City of Port- land" described in this booklet is a 13-car train plus a 3-car Diesel power unit. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of this train is the Observa- tion-Lounge Car, named the "Copper King," embodying remarkable innovations in railroad development. The deft decorations, unique and colorful, are by Mrs. W. A. Harriman, wife of the Chairman of the Board of the Union Pacific. Her contribu- tion to the unusual interior decorations of other Union Pacific streamline trains has created con- siderable favorable comment. The "Copper King" is the first "light-condi- tioned" car in railroading and the first in which copper has been used so extensively for interior decoration, finishings and appointments. The final touch of the selections of color schemes for the furniture, the decorating, upholstering, carpeting and the exquisite buffet and other interior appoint- ments was added by Mrs. Harriman. Pullman passengers enjoy complete relaxation in the -Copper King". The “Copper King" Observation-Lounge Car. • As the name implies, the "Copper King" is resplendent in shimmering copper. The side walls have satin finished copper paneling. Tables, smoke-stands and other accessories are constructed of copper bronze and the same metal has been skillfully used in the specially designed furniture. The service buffet, near the entrance to the car, is a harmonious symphony of copper and glass. As a result of using copper as the dominant decorative note, the interior has a rich glowing beauty enhanced by the contrasting deep green and henna material with which lounges and chairs are upholstered.
