Cadillac publication of 52 highly photo illustrated pages outlining the factory's transition from peacetime auto production to war-time production of the P-38 Lightning and Flat-Head V-8 Engines for the M-5 tank.  No publication date that I can find but testimonial photos in the Honor Roll section are dated as late as Sept 1943, so the book is a historical account of Cadillac's participation in the early years of WW2.

As I compose this ad, I note one other ebay offering of this book, priced at $100.  I will price mine lower, as it is the only one I have, take advantage.

Toyota RAV4 EV (2012) - a Toyota/Tesla electric SUV

Tue, 08 May 2012

The Toyota RAV4 has been turned into the only all-electric SUV on the market after a heart transplant from Tesla Motors.  The RAV4 EV has been given batteries and drivetrain bits from the Silicon Valley start-up to turn Toyota's most popular SUV into an electric-only vehicle with a 100-mile range. Toyota RAV4 EV: how it works A massive 422kg of batteries provide the power for the RAV4 EV, mounted low down in the centre of the vehicle to improve weight distribution. Toyota says that despite the new powertrain, no compromises have been made on passenger space.  Two driving modes offer a choice of speed or economy, Normal and Sport. Normal will send the RAV4 from 0-60mph in 8.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 85mph; Sport mode will take you there in 7.0sec and up to 100mph.

Designed by Kia's European design team, led by Peter Schreyer, the No3 Concept showcases the Korean automaker's new face with the front grille, headlamps and brand logo in a constellation arrangement. But the most notable of the 4045mm-long concept's design features is its unique extended windscreen and panoramic glass roof with a diagonal supporting bar.
