RICHARD SILLS Vince Taliano Cadillac & LaSalle Club Potomac Region Caddie Chronicle January 2016 IN THE NEWS Congratulations to CLC member Lou Commisso whose 1956 Eldorado Biarritz was featured in the February 2016 issue of Hemmings Classic Car. Not only was it the feature of a great article written by Richard Lentinello on the restoration that Lou largely completed by himself in his home garage, but its picture graced the front cover of the issue (thanks to Richard for providing us an electronic copy of the front cover pictured left). The photo shoot for the story took place at the Webb Institute in Glen Cove, New York. Below is a photo that Lou took while at that location. During the restoration that took approximately two years to complete, we were fortunate enough to receive updates from Lou that we included in our newsletter.

Auction announced. The vehicle, whose new owner was not revealed, was used during the final three seasons of James Gandolfini and co-stars in a scene from the award-winning HBO's “The Sopranos” Photo provided by R.R. Auction HBO series. “The Cadillac Escalade represented Tony's personal car and primary means of transportation, frequently used to show him going to and from his own driveway, meetings with members of the New York families, and the notorious landmarks of The Sopranos' fictional universe like the Bada Bing strip club and Satriale's Pork Store,” a news release said. “It was also utilized in action sequences including the infamous chase from Season 5 in which Tony, angrily trying to collect a debt, drives Phil Leotardo off the road and into a parked car.” Gandolfini, who died in 2013 at the age of 51, prominently signed the interior of the Escalade twice in black felt-tip pen -- once inside the driver's-side sun visor, “Thanks for the truck, James Gandolfini,” and also on the panel above the glovebox, “James Gandolfini.” “For fans of the show -- it's an instantly recognizable prop from one of the most acclaimed television series ever produced,” Robert Livingston, executive vice president at R.R. Auction, said in a statement. “Once we had realized we had broken the previous sales record price for a The Sopranos used vehicle, we were thrilled with the results of the auction.” A 1999 Chevrolet Suburban from The Sopranos Seasons 1-4 sold for $110,000, in 2013.

Congressman Frank Boykin of Alabama, left of Mr. Rayburn, chaired the committee which accepted $25 donations from each Democratic Congressman in the House of Representatives in order to buy Mr. Sam a new car. Photo Credit: Alabama Department of Archives and History Montgomery, Alabama. Samuel Taliaferro "Sam" Rayburn (January 6, 1882 – November 16, 1961) was a Democratic lawmaker from Bonham, Texas, who served as the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives for 17 years, the longest tenure in U.S. history. The Speaker of the House is the third person in line for the Presidency, immediately after the Vice President. Visit us on the web! 5 www.clcpotomacregion.org Cadillac & LaSalle Club Potomac Region Caddie Chronicle January 2016 The Speaker of the House is elected by each new Congress, so when Democrats control the House of Representatives, they elect one of their own party as the Speaker, and vice-versa. In the election of 1946, the Republicans won the majority of the House of Representatives, so Mr. Rayburn lost the Speaker position and became the Minority Leader. With that transition, he also lost the use of the congressionally-funded Cadillac provided to the Speaker. While Mr. Rayburn remained positive about his new role in Congress, his fellow Democratic congressmen could not bear to see their beloved former “boss” without a car. Several Democratic congressmen desired to buy Mr. Rayburn a new car to replace his limousine. Mr. Rayburn said he had a personal rule barring him from accepting gifts over $25. Undeterred, the congressmen asked the Democrats in the House of Representatives to donate $25 toward a new car. With this modification, the former speaker grudgingly agreed to their plan. Rep. Frank W. Boykin of Alabama led the solicitation. Along with 142 donations from Democractic congressmen, 50 Republican representatives also donated to the Cadillac fund. But when Mr. Rayburn learned that Republicans were among the donors, he insisted that their donations totaling $1,250 be returned, out of concern that his acceptance might be considered a conflict of interest. He graciously thanked each Republican for the donation as he returned their checks. Fortunately, that left $3,550, which was just about enough to cover the purchase of the brand-new 1947 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special from Capitol Cadillac in Washington, D.C. (The car cost $3,600, so someone must have kicked in the other $50.) Mr. Rayburn’s good friend, Democratic whip John McCormack from Massachusetts, officiated at the ceremony at which the keys to the shiny new Fleetwood were presented to Mr. Rayburn. Receipt for original title in Texas showing Capitol Cadillac as the seller Visit us on the web! 6 www.clcpotomacregion.org Cadillac & LaSalle Club Potomac Region Caddie Chronicle January 2016 Mr. Rayburn used the 1947 Fleetwood until 1949, when he was again elected Speaker after the Democratic victory in 1948. The Republicans reclaimed the Speaker position from 1953-1955 when they controlled the House, but Mr.

NHTSA-2016-0124; Notice 2] General Motors LLC, Receipt of Second Petition for Inconsequentiality and Notice of Consolidation AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Department of Transportation. ACTION: Notice of receipt of petition. SUMMARY: On January 3, 2017, TK Holdings Inc. (Takata) filed a defect information report (DIR), in which it determined that a defect existed in certain passenger-side air bag inflators that it manufactured, including passenger inflators that it supplied to General Motors, LLC (GM) for use in certain GMT900 vehicles. GM has petitioned the Agency for a decision that, because of differences in inflator design and vehicle integration, the equipment defect determined to exist by Takata is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety in the GMT900 vehicles, and that GM should therefore be relieved of its notification and remedy obligations. DATES: The closing date for comments is September 14, 2017. ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments regarding this petition for inconsequentiality.

Tilastollinen analyysi kunnossapitodatasta Tiivistelmä Työn tarkoitus: Lähitulevaisuudessa uudet autonvalmistajat Kiinasta ja Intiasta haastavat vanhempien teollisuusmaiden autonvalmistajat. Innovatiivisten suunnit- telumenetelmien käyttö voisi kuitenkin muodostaa vahvan kilpailuedun haastee- seen vastaamisessa. Metodologia: Tiettyjen korjausmääritelmien mukaan korjausaikadatasta voidaan ekstrapoloida Design-for-Assembly:n (DFA eli kokoonpano-orientoitunut suun- nittelu) käyttö. Kirjallisuuskatsauksen ja autoteollisuuden asiantuntijahaastattelui- den avulla pystytään havaitsemaan positiivinen korrelaatio nopean kokoonpanon ja nopean purkamisen välillä.
