Classic Car Ads: Valets and also Doormen

1989 Ford Bronco II, Eddie Bauer, Valets and Door Men

1989 Ford Bronco II Nothing claims”you’ve arrived,”like having a uniformed, handsomely designated concierge or valet open your cars and truck door

for you. For me it’s always an unpleasant experience, due to the fact that I hardly ever bring small bills– but that’s my problem. For most people, having a valet help you out of your vehicle suggests great times in advance. Perhaps supper, a program, or a wedding at a swanky resort. Consequently, I envision, carmakers traditionally have created print advertisements featuring valets and also doormen alongside their items.

Of program. for more-affordable product, scenes such as those illustrated below recommend that the autos concerned are classy enough to travel as much as also the swankiest of locations. The Ford LTD advertisement is an example of this.

Take pleasure in the advertisements, and allow us recognize which is your fave. The area to leaves comments is down below.

Listen to Cadillac Racing’s LMDh 5.5L V8 Scream Then Roar to Life on Track

Cadillac Racing | V-LMDh Testing | Cadillac V-Series

It’s been a few months since we’ve checked in with Cadillac, but it seems its Cadillac Racing team and newest addition, the V-LMDh car for IMSA’s new GTP class debuting in January, is ready for action. The proof is in the sound.

Sure, this is only a minute-long video, and it takes nearly 20 seconds before we get to the good part when you hear the car fire up. The car lets out this almost comical and screeching high-pitched electric whine (like the cars of Formula E), before that 5.5L-v8 roars into action. Then, it’s mean. It’s demanding. It’s racing.

The road has been long for the Grand Touring Prototype class contenders, with Porsche leading the charge in development and homologation with the hybrid battery mandated for every car. Then, in June, BMW, then Cadillac and eventually Acura all the way in August, revealed their car(d)s and hopeful race-ready challengers. Their biggest setback at that point was they needed to start testing and ironing out the hiccups in setting their factory-made engines for the series, work well with the hybrid systems.

We were all treated to a little sneak peek at where the manufacturers were in development, following the final race of the 2022 IMSA season at Road Atlanta. There, the LMDh cars completed their first round of group testing, although Porsche was absent (as they had more than enough miles under their belts. Maybe it was a nice gesture?). But next week, the gang will all be in Daytona for a final round of testing, before they reconvene at the same track in January for the Roar Before the 24 and shortly ever, the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

I’ve not had a chance to hear any of these cars in person, but I will next week. My list of what to see and experience — and who to talk to — is extensive. However, I’m curious, what are you excited to hear come out of testing? What are you looking most forward to with this new Prototype class heading into the season? Let me know what you want to see or hear about in the comments below.

Cadillac’s CT4-V And CT5-V Blackwings VIN 001 Go For A Combined $430,000 At Charity Auction

The very first Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing were sold at auction for $430,000 this week. The full hammer price will go to non-profit initiative, Black Ambition.

The cars were sold at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale, Arizona sale that ran from March 20 and continues March 27. Cadillac donated the cars and the auction house waived its fee.

That means that all $430,000 are going to Black Ambition. The non-profit was founded by popstar Pharell Williams. Its goal is to award prizes to companies led by Black and LatinX entrepreneurs and in so doing fund bold ideas and reduce barriers to capital.

“Certain communities have historically, deliberately, and painfully been excluded from access to growth capital for their businesses,” writes the company. “We see a future where ideas flourish, pathways to success are elevated, and more Black and Latinx entrepreneurs are better positioned to build generational wealth that will transform the American landscape.”
