The 1954 Oldsmobile Cutlass is an iconic classic car that stands
out for its sleek design and powerful performance. It was the first
of its kind to feature a four-barrel carburetor, allowing it to reach
speeds up to 115 mph. Its signature chrome accents and curved
lines give it a timeless look that still turns heads today.

The interior is just as impressive, with luxurious leather seats,
power windows, and air conditioning. This classic not only
looks good but also has proven reliability – making it a favorite
among vintage car enthusiasts. With over 300 horsepower under
the hood, this vehicle will take you back in time in style!

Charles Hardin Holley – known as Buddy Holly 
(September 7, 1936 – February 3, 1959)  

If you took out a map of the United States and traced
a line beginning at New Orleans and running up the
Mississippi River to Memphis, the tip of your finger
would pass through the very birthplace of rock and
roll—a region where nearly every step in its early
development took place and where nearly every
significant contributor to that development was born.

Writing and performing under the name Buddy Holly,
this Lubbock, Texas, native would have an influence
on rock and roll that would far outlast his tragically
shortened career.

HISTORY

On September 6, 1915, a prototype tank nicknamed Little Willie
rolled off the assembly line in England. Little Willie was far
from an overnight success. It weighed 14 tons, got stuck in
trenches and crawled over rough terrain at only two miles per
hour. However, improvements were made to the original
prototype and tanks eventually transformed military
battlefields.

An Elvis Presley firearm sold for a pretty penny on an Illinois
auction block recently.

The king of rock ‘n’ roll’s Smith & Wesson Model 53 revolver
fetched $199,750 at Rock Island Auction Company (RIAC)’s
August Premier Auction on Aug. 26 in Rock Island, Illinois.

The engraved revolver exceeded its pre-auction estimate of
$60,000 to $90,000 due to "competitive bidding from gun
enthusiasts" and Elvis fans around the world, according to
a press release from RIAC.

On September 6, 1901, President William McKinley was shaking
hands at the Pan-American Exhibition in Buffalo, New York,
when a 28-year-old anarchist named Leon Czolgosz approached
him and fired two shots into his chest. The president rose slightly
on his toes before collapsing forward, saying “be careful how you
tell my wife.”

Czolgosz moved over the president with the intent of firing a third
shot, but was wrestled to the ground by McKinley’s bodyguards. McKinley, still conscious, told the guards not to hurt his assailant.

Later that day, however, the president’s condition worsened
rapidly and, on September 14, McKinley died from gangrene
that had gone undetected in the internal wound. Vice President
Theodore Roosevelt was immediately sworn in as president.
