  • Cadillac's Amsterdam Avenue Assembly Plant
    Cadillac’s Amsterdam Street Factory Cadillac, “The Standard of the World”. Today, as it was more than 100 years ago, the word Cadillac remains among the top of luxury car nameplates. Born and bred in Detroit during the infancy of motor vehicle manufacturing, this iconic company rose above the rest to set the standard to which all others only dreamed of. The Cadillac automobile became synonymous with exceptional quality made with precision built components. It was within the walls of the historic Amsterdam Avenue assembly plant in Detroit, Michigan that the legacy began. The Cadillac nameplate might never have existed had it not been for the efforts of Henry Martyn Leland, a talented machinist, inventor, engineer and later an automotive entrepreneur. While living in New England, Leland was employed by the Colt Company, a high quality mass production gun manufacturer. During his stint at Colt, He learned that mass production could be achieved through the use of highly precision-made components. While he was doing well at Colt, Henry had a desire to go into business for himself. In the late 1880’s Detroit was the mecca for boat and carriage manufacturers. Leland followed his dream and moved to Detroit. In 1890 Leland along with his son Wilfred, business partner Robert Faulconer and two other investors formed the Leland and Faulconer Company, a maker of precision machine tools. The company quickly gained a reputation for delivering high quality products that were both well made, durable and reliable. They expanded and began producing boat launches powered by their own design of internal combustion engine.

  • Adolfo's Autos
    Adolfo’s Autos Thank you Camarillo Family, Camarillo Ranch Families and Friends Research Team: Barbara Burrows, Karin Farrin, Beth Miller, Lynn Preiss, Sherry Reynolds 2 Adolfo’s Autos by Beth Miller Adolfo Camarillo’s adult life encompassed the early years of automobile history. When he was 92 years old, Adolfo spoke at St. John’s Seminary. He told the story of a boyhood journey to Los Angeles with his father. It took them seven days by horse and buggy. But as an adult, Adolfo would make countless day trips to the City of Angels. The automobile played an essential role in his life. By the time he was 33 years old in 1897, the general consensus was that the era of the horse was over. The New York Sun predicted that the “new craze for the horseless carriage would expand until the vehicles were in common use in every part of the civilized world.” The New York Times complained about the adoption of the word ‘automobile’ into the general usage, calling it “a dreadful word.” Those with some formal education understood the origin of the combined word. It was the Greek word “auto” meaning “self” united with the Latin word “mobils” meaning “moving.” Or “self- moving” vehicle. Today customers make inquires or even purchase a car online. At the turn of the 20th century, the consumer also did pre-purchase research. Adolfo may have read ads in newspapers and magazines. He could write to the auto manufacture to obtain information. As a perspective buyer, he may have also used the Handbook of Gasoline Automobiles, which included detailed specifications on the makes and models.

  • Lincoln Continental Concept Using Spd-Smartglass Panoramic Roof Is Demonstrated at the 2015 Shanghai Motor Show
    LINCOLN CONTINENTAL CONCEPT USING SPD-SMARTGLASS PANORAMIC ROOF IS DEMONSTRATED AT THE 2015 SHANGHAI MOTOR SHOW Shanghai, China – April 20, 2015. After a successful world premiere at the New York Auto Show last month, the Lincoln Continental Concept featuring an SPD-SmartGlass electronically tinting sunroof using patented technology from Research Frontiers (Nasdaq: REFR) makes its Asian debut at Auto Shanghai 2015 from April 20th to 29th. The Lincoln Continental Concept is a preview of an all-new full-size production luxury sedan, which is expected by Ford to be available in the Chinese and other markets in 2016. Auto Shanghai is now the world’s largest auto show reflecting China’s importance as the world’s largest and fastest growing automobile market with 18.4 million cars sold in 2014. China is an important market for the entire auto industry especially for Lincoln which entered this market in late 2014. Lincoln has opened 11 dealerships in 9 cities and plans to expand to 60 dealerships in 50 cities in 2016. The rear seat focused Continental will be key to their efforts in China, given the chauffeur driven nature of this market. As noted in Lincoln's press release from Auto Shanghai 2015, "New technology is a hallmark of this vehicle." Ford Motor Company president and CEO Mark Fields said, “The Continental Concept showcases the promise of quiet luxury from Lincoln going forward. It also is a strong indication of what’s to come next year as we introduce our new Lincoln Continental full-size luxury sedan.” Ford highlighted SPD-SmartGlass in this vehicle by saying, "Rear-seat comfort is further highlighted by an SPD-SmartGlass tinting sunroof, which allows passengers to control heat from direct sunlight.
