Mercedes-AMG G 63 "Edition 55" exclusive model to mark "55 years of AMG" anniversary High-performance G-Class with exquisite details, limited to 55 units in the U.S.

AMG - for 55 years these three letters have signified top-level performance, exclusivity, and high driving dynamics worldwide. The G-Class has held a unique position in the AMG portfolio for over two decades and represents the pinnacle of off-road driving performance. Its cult status makes it the ideal ambassador to ring in the 55th anniversary of the performance luxury brand with the Mercedes-AMG G 63 "Edition 55." Exquisite details underline Mercedes-AMG's claim to offer customers the highest possible individuality and exclusivity. Limited to 55 units in the U.S., the anniversary model will be available later this year.

Volume XIX, Number 03

"From a two-man start-up in 1967 to a state-of-the-art development site including its own engine manufacturing facility for high-performance vehicles and more than 2000 excellently qualified employees in 2022, the success story of MercedesAMG over the past 55 years is simply impressive. The same applies to the G-Class, which has remained true to itself for over four decades in the course of its unique career. Its storied history and genuine character makes it the perfect first well-wisher for me on our 55th birthday. And just as the G-Class will lose none of its original character in its future allelectric variant, Mercedes-AMG is also ensuring the hallmark

driving performance made in Affalterbach in its electrified future. The departure into the next 55 years of the company's history will certainly be as exciting and challenging as the task our company founders Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher set themselves back then," says Philipp Schiemer, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. The 2022 Mercedes-AMG G 63 "Edition 55" is finished in Obsidian Black metallic and features the AMG emblem. 22inch AMG forged wheels in a cross-spoke design with a matte grey paint finish and a high-sheen rim flange, as well as the AMG Night Package and AMG Night Package II provide visual contrast. The fuel filler cap in silver chrome with AMG lettering further exemplifies the exceptional attention to detail.

The interior is characterized by contrasting black and red elements. Stainless steel door sill trims with red illuminated AMG lettering welcome the driver. To match, the black AMG floor mats made of high-quality velour feature red contrasting stitching and "Edition 55" lettering woven in red. The AMG Performance steering wheel in Microfiber also commemorates the anniversary with the "AMG" and "55" badges, making this special model an exclusive collector's item. AMG seats are finished in two-tone Nappa Leather in Classic Red/Black. The exclusive ambience of the interior is rounded off by AMG matte carbon trim elements. The G 63 "Edition 55" also includes a customized AMG Indoor Car Cover, made from a breathable, tear- resistant synthetic fiber fabric with an antistatic inner fabric made of flannel.

For each of the more than 2,000 employees the focus is on the brand promise of "Driving Performance," which unites the core strengths of AMG: cutting-edge technology and a passion for dynamic, emotionally-appealing products. The current Mercedes-AMG portfolio comprises more than 50 vehicles with a power range from 302 hp (AMG CLA 45 Coupe and GLA 45) to 831 hp of system power in the first performance hybrid from Affalterbach, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE. The selection ranges from performance vehicles in various body styles to completely independently developed sports cars such as the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe and the new Mercedes-AMG SL. The range of powertrains has also been continuously developed in line with market requirements and customer wishes, and currently offers efficiency-optimized combustion engines with four, six or eight cylinders. In addition, Mercedes-AMG is consistently pursuing the path of the Future of Driving Performance: under the label E PERFORMANCE, performance hybrids are offered with an independent drive layout and technology derived from Formula 1. The portfolio also includes the all-electric AMG EQS and EQE, derivatives based on the Group's "EVA2" platform. In the near future, completely independently developed battery-electric AMG models will also follow, which will be based on a new electrical architecture (AMG.EA) that has been developed completely in-house. With 145,979 vehicles delivered globally in 2021 and growth of 16.7 percent, Mercedes-AMG has started the anniversary year with a record figure. see www.HIghline-Autos.com for full story and photos

1967 Corvette L79 (Lot 159)

1936 Ford 3 Window Coupe (Lot 406)

MAG Auctions Fort McDowell Event is April 29 & 30 written by David M. Brown A diverse docket of 300 to 400 premium collector cars and trucks and memorabilia from the 1920s through 2022 will be offered during the annual MAG Collector Car Auction April 29 and 30 at the WeKoPa Casino Resort in Fort McDowell, about 20 minutes from Scottsdale near Fountain Hills.

Another is a Candy Red-on-buckskin chopped 1936 Ford 3 Window Coupe Custom (Lot 406), equipped with a 383-ci Stroker motor, a TH400 automatic transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end. Representing the 1950s is a ’56 Ford Thunderbird hardtop convertible (Lot 194), Peacock Blue on White with the 312-ci V-8, outputting 225 horsepower through a Ford-O-Matic transmission. Included are white hard and soft tops, fender skirts and a continental kit.

“We offer every type of vehicle from classics to exotics, American muscle and foreign sports cars, Reserve and No Reserve,” says Mike Oberle, co-owner with Emmett Rice of MAG Auctions (MotorSport Auction Group), which combined with Silver Auctions in 2018 to hold the Arizona event. “There will be a little for everyone. We offer Bentleys, BMWs and Corvettes and even rare and unfamiliar cars such as the 1950 Australian ‘Ute’ [utility vehicle] we’ll have this year.”

The 1960s are well represented. Cars include a Tawny Gold 1964 Ford Mustang (Lot 372), a D code vehicle with a highhorsepower 289-ci V-8 and a 4-speed, used as a company promotional car. Restored last year, a 1968 Camaro Custom Resto-mod (Lot 399) in custom platinum-gray paint, is powered by a 350-ci V-8 and a 4-speed transmission.

One of the pre-War cars is a 1930 Oakland Roadster (Lot 369), a stock L-head V-8 roadster with a 3-speed manual.

The owner’s family has about 20 residences throughout the West, many with names celebrating birds native to the areas: “At this home you can sit all day and watch the most amazing birds come and go. Many of them live in the cacti: woodpeckers, burrowing owls and black hawks –– full families of several generations coming back every year. For me, this parallels the resonance of the property: our family sharing year after year in a resort-level home with a captivating vibe, and so beautiful in terms of grounds and views. “It's a mammoth property for families to indulge and replenish,” she adds. “And, you can move in with just a suitcase; everything you see is included with your arrival, including the furnishings and fixtures. What isn’t included is an HOA.” A circular driveway dramatically delivers you and your guests to a covered portico which leads inside to a columned archway rotunda with inlaid marble on the floor –– a harbinger of the other grand spaces within.

Lotus Eletre the world’s first electric Hyper-SUV The ongoing transformation of Lotus to a truly global performance car brand has reached its most significant milestone yet. The all-new and all-electric Lotus Eletre is a striking and progressive Hyper-SUV – the first of a new breed of pure electric SUVs. It takes the core principles and Lotus DNA from more than 70 years of sports car design and engineering, evolving them into a desirable all-new lifestyle car for the next generation of Lotus customers. The company’s famed expertise in the fields of ride and handling, steering and optimised aerodynamics have been carefully and respectfully evolved. The Eletre takes the heart and soul of the latest Lotus sports car – the Emira – and the revolutionary aero performance of the all-electric Evija hypercar, and reinterprets them as a Hyper-SUV.

Volume XIX, Number 03

Known until two days ago only by its Lotus codename, Type 132, the Eletre is a globally relevant product, a shining halo of sustainable mobility for a worldwide audience. Embodying emotion, intelligence and prestige, it extends the reach of the Lotus name, badge and renowned driver engagement to a new audience. A bold new dimension to the Lotus performance car portfolio, the Eletre delivers a significant number of firsts for Lotus – the first five-door production car, the first model outside sports car segments, the first lifestyle EV, the most ‘connected’ Lotus ever. And yet it remains a true Lotus, a beautiful car ‘carved by air’, packed with pioneering technology, genuine sporting performance and simplicity of purpose, designed and developed by a passionate and global team. The Lotus Eletre is alive with character and personality.

The Eletre is 4WD, has a battery capacity that’s over 100kWh and with power from 600hp. A 350kW charger will deliver a 248 miles range in just 20 minutes. The car’s target maximum WLTP driving range is c.373 miles. It also comes with the ability as standard to accept 22kW AC charging which, where available, reduces the time plugged in. Technology includes the most advanced active aerodynamics package on any production SUV, and intelligent driving technologies such as the world’s first deployable Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) system in a production car. Add in a dynamic walk-up sequence that delivers a moment of theatre every time the driver approaches the car, and it’s clear the Eletre is making a simple statement – this is Lotus reinvented, the birth of a new icon into the Lotus stable. Matt Windle, Managing Director, Lotus Cars, commented: “The Eletre is a bold and revolutionary new car, delivering on our commitment to move Lotus into completely new automotive segments as we widen our global appeal and accessibility. This is a momentous point in our history and a clear signal of our ongoing desire to transform our business. It is a true Lotus, and we’re confident it will delight performance car customers and offer a distinct alternative to the segment’s established players. The Eletre has the soul of a Lotus and the usability of an SUV. Alongside the Emira sports car, this is the perfect two-car garage from Lotus.” Qingfeng Feng, CEO, Group Lotus, added: “The Eletre, our HyperSUV, is a new performance car from an iconic performance car brand and it will appeal to independent-minded and adventurous driving enthusiasts – those who love the thrill of driving. It is a unique combination of beautiful design, exceptional dynamic performance and everyday usability, for those who dare to look beyond the conventional, and marks a turning point for our business and brand.” He added: “While the worldwide critical acclaim for the Emira has reaffirmed Lotus’ position as a respected sports car marque, the Eletre will make Lotus accessible to a whole new audience. It is a compelling alternative for those who desire a true driver’s car but whose lifestyle demands something more practical than a traditional sports car. And it is only the start for Lotus – there is much more to come.” The Eletre is the first in a new range of premium lifestyle performance electric vehicles to be built at an all-new state-of-the-art production facility in Wuhan, China. The car has been ‘Born British, Raised Globally’, with design led by the UK, supported by collaborative work with teams in China, Sweden and Germany. The overall exterior and interior design has been led by an international team based at the Lotus Tech Creative Centre (LTCC) in Warwickshire, UK. see www.HIghline-Autos.com for full story and photos

First National Bullion: A Valuable Asset in Uncertain Times written by David M. Brown Inflation is soaring toward 8%, pushing interest rates higher. Treasury yield curves are inverting, typically an early warning sign of recession. What can you bank on to ensure the stability of your portfolio? Consider gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bullion coins and bars from First National Bullion.

precious metals have typically done well in inflationary environments and tend to act as a safe haven during uncertain times and market volatility,” he explains. “They are a store of value and have acted as money for thousands of years, while countless fiat currencies have come and gone.”

With four locations in Arizona and southern California, the company buys and sells gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion bars and coins. Those stores are in Scottsdale and San Diego, Del Mar and Carlsbad, California, with shipping available to all 50 states. A fifth location opens soon in Irvine.

Trends and Tips

“Having physical locations allows us to buy from the public over the counter and offer product to our existing customers at a lower rate than they will find with online retailers,” says owner Jonathan Cavuoto, who founded First National Bullion in 2007. “We will, however, always match or beat any online price from legitimate online retailers.” Now, in particular, he believes that it is important to own physical precious metals as part of a diversified portfolio. “While past performance cannot guarantee future results, Volume XIX, Number 03

Precious metals are tangible, transportable and transferable. “While you can do very well investing in the right mining companies, when doing so you are betting on the management of those companies, how their liabilities are handled, how much success those companies have mining and how things like higher energy costs affect their bottom line,” he says. Gold has performed well recently and significant upside remains, he says. But his top pick now is silver, which is trading in the mid-$20/ounce, almost 50% off its near $50 high in 1980 and 2011. He explains that silver is used extensively in biomedical applications, window coatings, solar panels and cell phones,

for example. And, most industrial-application silver is never recovered, girding the value of remaining supplies.

the company can arrange fully insured storage at depositories nationwide. Brinks facilitates this and insurance for your metals at fair market value. In most cases, shipping is free. The company also has a purpose-built class 2 TL rated vault in Poway, California.

However, the silver market is typically more volatile than the gold market, so adding gold can reduce volatility of your metals portfolio. Also silver is cumbersome. Making a sizable investment will require a sizable storage facility; in contrast, $60,000 worth of gold is about the size of an iPhone, making it much easier to store and transport.

Your metals are not comingled or in a fungible account. The exact coins and bars deposited are the ones you will get back when requested. “Once the metal is delivered to the vault of choice, customers get an online login to see what is in their account with a full ledger and market values calculated daily,” he explains.

Although First National Bullion buys and sells numismatic and rare coins, the company does not recommend this for most investors as they are not as liquid, and premiums and spreads are higher.

Having metals stored at a vault makes it easy to sell back to First National Bullion. Says Cavuoto: “Simply fill out a form, go on a recorded line to agree on the sale and price; we then transfer the material into our account and wire the funds to you.”

Shipping and Securing Most bullion coins and bars are IRA approved, and the company regularly delivers metals to its customers’ IRA accounts.

The Jean Bugatti timepiece in rose gold

Encapsulating History and Innovation: The Jean Bugatti Timepiece One of the most complex and innovative chronographs ever created, befitting the Bugatti legacy: The Jacob & Co. X Jean Bugatti Timepiece. The Jean Bugatti timepiece is perhaps the most demanding watchmaking project ever undertaken by Jacob & Co, named after a visionary pioneer. Jean was the eldest son of company founder Ettore Bugatti, born in 1909 – the same year Ettore set up his new company in Molsheim, Alsace. As a child, Jean loved to watch Bugatti’s craftsmen passionately designing and building cars – every single component a work of art. Later, Jean would visit his grandfather, Carlo, in Paris, as often as he could, where he was inspired by his furniture creations that mixed styles, cultures and materials. Jean would one day lead Bugatti, designing such masterpieces as the duotone Type 50 series, the Type 41 Royale with the longest wheelbase ever created, and the Type 57SC Atlantic. Its signature design feature was its raised seam running vertically from the hinge in the split bonnet to the tail – proportions unknown in the automotive world at the time. Limited to just 57 units, the Jean Bugatti timepiece is a tribute to this extraordinary innovator, representing his avant-garde and artistic automotive interpretations. Just as Jean Bugatti's automotive designs defied established trends, so does this eponymous timepiece. It is one of the most sophisticated timepieces to be released in recent years and enters a territory that Jacob & Co. has never explored. The Jean Bugatti may just be Jacob & Co.'s most demanding watchmaking project ever. The development and manufacturing of the Jean Bugatti presented a series of intense challenges. Made of a total of 470 components, the delicate, wafer-thin design of many parts is extraordinary, considering the immense pressures and forces they are subjected to. The management of forces and energy within the movement is highly complex, and immediately apparent when the caseback is revealed. The movement's architecture is three-dimensional and a sight to behold in and of itself. It has a round case, a round bezel, short and elaborate lugs, mushroom pushers, a full-polished rose gold, or white gold case. With its elegant cursive numerals, blued hands, blue or cream-white dial, the 46-mm Jean Bugatti would almost look tame if it weren't for its unique layout. Volume XIX, Number 03

The Jean Bugatti timepiece in white gold

Jean Bugatti, a visionary pioneer whose creations still inspire many

The two openings on the dial harbor a pair of one-minute flying tourbillons. Their cage design is topped by the iconic Bugatti ‘EB’ logo, manufactured in polished steel. The Jean Bugatti tells the hours and minutes thanks to a pair of red, inward-pointing hands located on the dial's rim. The pair of short, blued hands anchored in the middle of the dial are the chronograph hands. The first, longer one stands for the chronograph's seconds units. The shorter denotes the chronograph's tens of seconds. When each one of those reaches the end of its course, it jumps backward, thus defining a double retrograde chronograph. The chronograph is powered and regulated autonomously with a separate barrel and a high-frequency regulating organ. Wiebke Ståhl, Managing Director of Bugatti International, commented: “Capturing Jean Bugatti’s style and creative flair within a single timepiece is a challenging task, yet Jacob & Co. is the perfect brand partner to achieve this. Jean’s spirit remains strong within the walls of Molsheim, as our designers and engineers continue to draw inspiration from his near century-old creations. With this latest timepiece, wearers can enjoy an entirely new standard of sophistication and meticulous attention to detail – the very same step-change Bugatti makes with each of its new hyper sports cars.” Benjamin Arabov, CEO of Jacob & Co., added: “Designing and developing the Jean Bugatti has been an exciting and rewarding experience. Our partnership with Bugatti is taking on this new shape, and even though it feels comfortably classic, the watch is really something else. This timepiece is a new design direction compared to our existing collections, but it goes to show that great figures make for great inspiration. Applying these historic design elements, coming from Bugatti's glorious past, is a fascinating supplement to the contemporary hypercar inspiration. And we rose to the challenge with a groundbreaking movement that redefines how a chronograph operates. This is the way Jacob & Co. defies and exceeds expectations.”

A Triumph in Design Bentley Residences, Sunny Isles Beach, Miami The plans for Bentley Residences are a paragon of design brilliance. The newly opened sales gallery in Sunny Isles Beach, Miami, Florida, celebrates the design achievements so far, and builds anticipation and excitement surrounding the project, that is due to complete in 2026. Spanning 12,000 sqft, the sales gallery offers buyers a first-hand glimpse at the private beachfront one-of-a-kind development of 216 residences. A suite of renders has been released giving a preview of the luxurious communal spaces, wellness and lifestyle amenities, as well as the plans for the private residences themselves. Each of these spaces has been designed to ensure that residents experience Bentley as a part of their journey, both in and out of the building. Bentley designers Brett Boydell and Chris Cooke have led the design of the project, working closely with Dezer Development and Sieger Suarez Architects. Their expertise has shaped the exquisitely designed building and its interior, and they have worked hard to carefully integrate Bentley design throughout each and every corner. A DESIGN MASTERPIECE Brett Boydell, Bentley Head of Design Collaborations, says: “One of the biggest achievements when we design a car, is to have a whole group of designers working together, but to make it look like it came from one person’s hand. We have the same exciting challenge with Bentley Residences, but on a 70storey scale.” He continues: “In reality, each element has been considered, understood and designed by the Bentley Design Team, by our partners at Dezer Development and by Sieger Suarez Architects, but the overall effect is seamless.” Volume XIX, Number 03

Chris Cooke, Bentley Product and Lifestyle Design Manager, adds: “We have applied the same attention to detail that goes into our cars into this very building. Each space is different, but with distinctive Bentley design cues styled harmoniously throughout.” A sense of harmony is something that has been carefully considered. The concept of indoor-outdoor living was really important to Bentley, who’s customers enjoy the feeling of being out on the open road, just as much as being cocooned within the comfort of their car cabins. Each residence will have an individual balcony swimming pool, as well as unobstructed views through seamless floor-to-ceiling glass. Diamond-shaped glass panels adorning the building’s façade are angled meticulously to create the perfect natural light refraction. The same patterns and silhouettes are echoed throughout the building, for example, through the diamond-shaped tiles adorning the floor of the lobby. The simple diamond motif is a signature of Bentley design DNA, found throughout all of the brand’s products and cars. UNIQUE FEATURES The environment of each communal area of the Bentley Residences has been carefully considered. The aim is to bring residents together as a community, fostering an atmosphere of relaxation, while still remaining social. Private and communal amenities include: a cinema, a games room, a wellness centre and spa, a whisky bar, a cigar lounge and a restaurant. Each has been carefully curated to maximise comfort and luxury, and to subtly bring Bentley’s design DNA throughout each detail. Volume XIX, Number 03

Restaurant

The cinema has been designed to mimic the concept of a Bentley car interior. Chris Cooke explains, “A cosseting sofa wraps around the back of the rear three walls, embracing residents in the space.” The games room is state of the art, equipped with VR headsets, and simulators both for golf and for driving. A whisky bar will grace the finished building, and for now, visitors to the sales gallery can get a taste of how the final installation will look and feel. The bar itself is inspired by the iconic matrix grille of Bentley’s cars. Suspended from the ceiling, the bar appears to be weightless and floating. The Bentley Residences will bring to life a transformative wellness offering, giving residents a space to connect, re-energise and relax through complete sensorial immersion. Throughout the sales gallery and the Bentley Residences building, Bentley Home furniture pieces will feature. The Bentley Home furniture range is hand-crafted in Italy and is known for extraordinary levels of craftsmanship. The pieces feature distinctive lines and mimic the materials and finishes of Bentley’s cars. NATURAL MATERIALS Visitors to the new sales gallery can witness first-hand the attention to detail that is going into the planning of the project. The lobby of the building will feature some impressive pillars, each threaded with the vertical veins of the natural wood used, ingrained with copper dust to add a subtle, metallic finish. This technique was used in Bentley’s concept car, the EXP 100 GT, and makes a statement on the innovative use of wood and new materials that will distinguish Bentley’s future design.

It is really important, to both the Bentley Motors and Dezer Development teams, throughout the Bentley Residences building, as many materials as possible are locally sourced, and that each and every element matches the same exacting quality standards of the materials found within Bentley’s cars. Natural materials feature heavily throughout the building, and some key components are wood, leather and glass – drawing parallels with Bentley cars. The exciting thing for the Bentley design team, was to be able to take the same materials, and go above and beyond anything that can be achieved in a car, making use of the substantially larger space, and diversity of areas. Brett Boydell explains: “I think it’s the approach to every element within the Bentley Residences which gives that feeling of harmonious and inspiring design. This runs throughout everything from the materials, to the colours, and the richness of all the execution is synonymous with what you would find in our cars.” MODELS AND SCULPTURE The new sales gallery also plays home to a spectacular, full-scale, new sculpture, designed by the Bentley designers in Crewe, with the Miami beachfront in mind. Epic in size, the Bentley speed form sculpture is inspired by the flowing lines and surface definition seen in our luxury cars. Brett Boydell describes: “The form has been designed to reflect the cars strength and power in volume whilst celebrating its beauty and elegance within the details of its key lines.” He continues: “The colour of the exterior is a unique paint mixed in the Bentley paint shop and was specially created to come to life in the bright Miami climate whilst enhancing the sculptures form. “ Volume XIX, Number 03

James Coles with his Mercedes-Benz S65 V12 AMG Cabriolet

If he chooses, Jim Coles can joyously fish, hike, ski or boat year round in magnificent Whitefish, Montana. But, without reel, boots, oars or poles, he’s still happy enjoying his 40 Caterpillar and Deere tractors and engines, 1934 through 1968, at his Snow Ghost Ranch, 13 miles north of town and 60 miles south of the Canadian border. He and his wife “CK” also have a home in Scottsdale. “With retirement, we will now be spending the majority of our time at this ranch,” he says, noting that they acquired the property in 2000. “It is strictly a game preserve, with all activity centering on wildlife enhancement.” Just northwest of glacially formed Flathead Lake, the ranch is adjacent to about two million acres of National Forest. The ranch is equally covered with forest and meadow areas, has one river, three creeks, 22 wetlands and 12 prolific springs; it’s a great wildlife habitat,” he explains. Tamer, his regal Garage Mahal collection includes seven fully restored John Deere two-cylinder-engine tractors, 1934 thru 1959, and 33 Cat tractors and engine. He began collecting about 40 years ago, in 1981. His oldest is 1934, youngest 1968, and about two thirds have been restored. “Pieces have been added at a fairly steady rate, challenged by the value of scrap, making finding of equipment more challenging,” he explains. “As equipment

gets older, its productive value decreases immensely, causing those without a nostalgic viewpoint to dispose of it.” Some tractor fans start collecting with 1920s examples, which were built to run on gasoline, but his pieces are all diesel, most equipped with gasoline starting engines. His collection began with the acquisition of a 1948 5U series D2. “Caterpillar made the mandatory move from gasoline to diesel power in the very early ’30s; the design change was a true ‘bet-the-farm’ call at the start of the Great Depression,” he says. For design, Caterpillar progressed quickly before WW II, but little upgrades were made during the war. “Postwar, design progressed at a very rapid rate, with a very sophisticated and productive family of equipment available by 1960,” he adds. His collection focuses on this period. His love of the hardware is long standing. “I have possessed it since playing with tractors in a sandbox,” he notes. “Recognizing that passion at an early age made career directional choices very easy.” He grew up in the Bay Area of California, and, after earning an engineering degree, worked for Caterpillar Tractor Company in Peoria, Illinois. “I have always enjoyed the ag world, having worked in it for six summers during high school and college in northern Idaho,” Coles says.

In Peoria, the company formally trained him and he held various positions. “During this time, I gained significant respect for the design talents of the company,” he adds.

power. Four blocks, each with two cylinder liners, sit on the crankcase. There are eight separate heads. Note the exterior push rod tubes.

After three years, he was transferred to Denver, covering the Rocky Mountains for Cat as a machine sales rep. He left in 1973 to form a Peterbilt truck dealership in Casper, Wyoming, eventually expanding into Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Oregon and northern California. He sold the 18-location operation in 2014 to retire and enjoy Cats in Whitefish.

“This engine was strictly an industrial engine, meaning it was not installed in any Cat machines. Its market was marine power, small locomotive, draglines, generator sets, etc.,” he explains. This particular engine was originally purchased by the Army and drove a pump. Postwar, it powered a crusher in a small Montana copper mine; Coles acquired it from the retired owners of the mine. A two-cylinder starting engine tops the flywheel housing.

These CATS are Dear Here are a few of Jim Coles’ prized tractors: •1934 “Diesel 35” –– The earliest tractor in the collection, this track type is so called because it has 35 horsepower. Very popular in the ag market, the 14,000-pound classic has a 3-cylinder diesel engine with an in-line 2-cylinder gasoline starting engine. Gasoline start went from standard equipment to an optional attachment in 1968, with electric 24-volt start becoming standard because of advancing componentry. •1937 Cat D17000 –– This Cat has a 60-degree Vee engine and a single-plane crankshaft, producing 126 horsepower at 900 RPM; the engine weighs about 80 pounds per horse-

Volume XIX, Number 03

•1938 Caterpillar No.212 motor grader –– This was Cat’s smallest diesel 6-wheel motor grader. The octogenarian is powered by a 37-horsepower 4-cylinder 4-inch-bore-x-5-inch stroke engine, the same one used in the D2 track type tractor. It has a 5-speed transmission and the tandems (two rear axles) are chain driven. “There are so many grease zerks on this machine, I challenge anyone to find them all,” Coles says. This unit spent its life working for a county in south central Washington. “Cat dropped both the D2 and the No.212 in the early fifties,” he explains. “They were too expensive to build as a relation to their productive capacity.”

•The Cat 5.75-inch-bore x 8-inch-stroke family: 4-cylinder D8800, 6-cylinder D13000 in the middle and the V-8 D17000 –– The four cylinder, built in 1939, was first owned by the Navy, drove a generator on a skid package and was a standby generator on a destroyer. “I removed the generator and installed a flywheel clutch with a single 3:1 reduction,” he says, adding that the same model engine also powered the D7 track type tractor. The 6-cylinder was built in 1937. It was owned by the Boise Water Department and powered a standby pump. When Coles acquired it, total usage was 2500 hours. And, the D17000 was Cat’s first entry into V-type engines. •1944 8R series D8 –– One of a number of WW II D8 veterans in the collection, this one was built in March 1944, the same month Coles was born. The 8R D8, weighing 40,000 pounds, was the main tool used in the Pacific by the SeaBees for airport construction, so important for the island-hopping strategy that eventually won the war. The other vets in the

Volume XIX, Number 03

collection are primarily engines used for electric power generation and water pumping. “Cat was unique in wartime; their factories kept building the identical product, not changing much other than the color of the paint,” he explains. “This was quite different from factories converting from automobiles to airplane production.” The only changes the military asked for on this unit was a convex radiator guard and a welded pocket at the four corners of the track “swing frame” to attach rigging to when loading and unloading from a ship. This also has a two-drum cable control unit on the back for operating a pull type scraper, which was primarily used for cutting and filling for grading work on the airports. •1952 5U series D2 –– This track-type tractor was set up for ag drawbar work and spent its first life on a farm near Craigmont, Idaho. For about 20 years, it was stored in a barn before a collector told Coles about it. This tractor produces 37 horsepower, and with the very wide track shoes had a

ground contact pressure of about 1 psi, which the ag industry liked in order to avoid compaction. Cat dropped the D2 soon after this unit was built. The market was moving to larger more productive units. •1947 3T series D7 –– “Every collection has its ‘barn-find,’ and this is mine,” he says. “This tractor spent its life on a dry land farm in northeastern Montana. In 1950, at 2400 hours, a piston failed, and the farmer stored the unit in his barn where it sat for the next 60 years. Finally, the farmer’s wife told him to empty that barn before he died, and a friend told a friend who told me about the unit.” He took a lowboy tractor trailer rig with a winch and retrieved the unit. “With the exception that the wood in the cab was rotted and both the diesel engine and gasoline starting engine needed overhaul, the tractor was in absolutely perfect condition,” he says. Doug Hansen, Hansen Wheel and Wagon Co., in Mitchell, South Dakota, restored the cab using hickory material. Note the inline two-cylinder starting engine alongside the

four-cylinder diesel. Track-type tractors were used extensively in the ag market in Western states to achieve higher drawbar pull, less dirt compaction and stability on hillsides, versus wheel-type, 2-wheel-drive tractors. In later years, with improvement in wheel tractors, this was to change, he explains. “Every collector has his favorite piece, and this is mine.” •Engine RM180 –– This V-8, along with the inline-6 D343, and an inline 4, the D340, made up the 5.4”-bore family designed in the late 1950s and introduced in 1960. “This family represented a massive turning point in Caterpillar engine design,” he says. The RM180 was a 90-degree, naturally balanced V-8. All three engines had twin overhead cams, 4 valves per cylinder, parallel ported, turbocharged with a waste gate and a water-to-air aftercooler. The bore and stroke is 5.4 inches by 6.5 inches, full load 2100 RPM and full lug 1400 RPM. It represented a 10-liter,

Wonderful Whitefish photos – Brian Schott & Montana Office of Tourism

Mountains in the west, plains in the east, lakes, rivers and paths and no paths to adventure: Montana is 147,000 square miles of fishing, hiking, biking, skiing, snowboarding, boating and rock climbing while experiencing the many joys of discovery. The Oro y Plata (Gold & Silver) state is one of the few places in the continental United States where you have a palpable sense of wilderness, of being, in the spirit of enterprising Captain Kirk, where no one has gone before. Here are the western meadowlark (state bird), blackspotted cutthroat trout (state fish), the bitterroot (state flower), ponderosa pine (state tree), and big-as-a-mountain grizzly bears (state animal, as poet Carl Sandburg might have said, thinking in mythic terms. Look hard enough and you could even find sapphire and agates (state gemstones) –– or, better, a glimmering new respect for Mother Earth. As one employee of the state’s VisitMt visitors bureau says, “Montana ROCKS!” Another, Nicole Gonzalez, adds, quoting from the organization’s collateral: “In Montana, you’ll ply sparkling glacial lakes and climb rocky mountain faces. Walk where dinosaurs once roamed and legendary battles were waged. Watch cowboys kick up clouds of dust. Lift glistening trout from teeming streams. Raft down mighty rivers. And gaze upon night skies that suggest the entire universe is within reach.” The town of Whitefish, at the base of Big Mountain in the northern Rockies and the shores of Whitefish Lake, is a quick jaunt from the spectacular valleys and peaks of Glacier National Park. A year-round recreational destination, the town also offers outstanding accommodations, shops, coffee houses, restaurants, live professional theater and other cultural venues. “We are a welcoming community with boundless opportunities for adventure all day,” says Brian Schott with Explore Whitefish. “Whitefish aspires to be a leader in sustainability, adopting proven methods to conserve our environment, our economy, our community and our lifestyle. As such, our main focus for visitors in Whitefish is to promote responsible and sustainable travel and recreation. “We invite you to join us in our shared love of the natural beauty and playing in the mountains. Slow down. Show respect. Leave no trace.” Amtrak’s Empire Builder stops daily in Whitefish, and Glacier Park International Airport is 15 minutes away. For more information on the town, see explorewhitefish.com, call 877.862.3548 or email, info@explorewhitefish.com. For Montana, see visitmt.com or call 800.847.4868.

15-liter and 20-liter displacement family. Prior to this family, all Cat engine design was 2-valve push rod configurations, and, with one model exception, all engines were naturally aspirated. This family was the last “purpose built” family of engines, that single purpose being powering Cat vehicles. “This family generated roughly three times the power stroke cylinder pressure of former designs,” he says. “For Cat, it was about like Boeing going from propellers to jets.” The RM180 shown was produced from 1960 to 1972 and powered all Cats’ large haulage equipment offerings. “For me, it’s the engine that built the interstate highway system, and because of its significant pioneering design, it has always been one of my favorites.”
