			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As much as the <em>real</em> world of organized crime can be brutally violent, we can&#8217;t escape how pop culture has glamorized the idea of &#8220;being a gangster&#8221; beyond gruesome murders and onto easy money and that tough guy attitude.<span id="more-45"></span> From Ray Liotta&#8217;s portrayal of Henry Hill to Tony Soprano, we&#8217;ve all seen the pretty side of this lifestyle &#8211; strong family values, being a somebody &#8220;in a neighborhood full of nobodies&#8221; and protecting your neighborhood. Oh, there&#8217;s the money too. And you cannot deny, aside from the matching sweat suits, mobsters know how to dress, act classy, and drive fancy automobiles. When the Capo needs a lift, he&#8217;s most likely going to be picked up in a Cadillac. But why is the Caddy such an icon of the mob lifestyle?</p>
<p><strong>Intimidating Design</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cadillacpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/soprano-escalade.jpg" alt="Sopranos Escalade" /></p>
<p>The only thing scarier than a Plymouth Fury is a Cadillac Coupe de Ville barreling down at you in a dark alley &#8211; especially when the guy you owe five-large to is behind its wheel. Cadillac classics have always been built to intimidate the competition as well as other driver&#8217;s on the road. The new Escalade and CTS sedan Cadillac produces are one-ton automotive monstrosities combining old school elegance with sharp 21st century design and technology. And it&#8217;s been proven that Cadillac owns Lincoln in Sopranos lore:</p>

<p><strong><strike>Trunk</strike> Cargo Space</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cadillacpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/caddybody.jpg" alt="cadillac trunk" /></p>
<p>With a big car comes a load of cargo space &#8211; where else will you keep your golf clubs, <strike>heroine, guns, dead bodies</strike>, trays of antipasto, San Genaro busts and Gucci luggage? Speaking of antipasto &#8211; we&#8217;re starving, is there any rolled cold cuts and fresh mozzarella around here?</p>
<p><strong>Size Matters</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cadillacpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/cadillac1952.jpg" alt="1952 Cadillac" /></p>
<p>In the world of La Cosa Nostra size matters. It symbolizes power, authority, and impresses the ladies. In a time prior to SUV&#8217;s you couldn&#8217;t get much larger than a mafia Don and his Caddy. Both the Capos and cars have to live up to Cadillac&#8217;s slogan &#8211; &#8220;The Penalty of Leadership.&#8221; Those old GM vehicles sure could take a beating too:</p>

<p><strong>Classic American Automobile</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cadillacpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/cadillac.jpg" alt="cadillac headlights" /></p>
<p>As much as Italian mobsters want to separate themselves from &#8220;<em>Americanos</em>&#8221; Cadillac is a classic American automobile. It portrays a sense of royalty over those who drive everyday sedans. Or maybe these mobsters just like the comfort and luxury of a large leather interior. Regardless, until General Motors goes under (knock on wood) The underbelly organized crime will always favor a fine car like a fine cigar and bottle of chianti.</p>
