1990 Cadillac, Allante Convertible on 2040-cars
Urbandale, Iowa, United States
|
I am proud to present this automotive piece of American history in the Cadillac - Allante. With a very unique partnership with Pininfarina Italy, GM was able to have a car designed and styled by the legendary coach company and then have the cars transported over to the USA where they were mated with the powertrain and drivetrain by Cadillac. With only 2,523 Allantes produced in 1990 this car is destined to be a collectible. This vehicle had an original MSRP of over $58,000. The car runs and drives very nice and has had routine service done throughout its life. The car has been owned by my father-in-law and stored in Des Moines, Iowa since January 14, 1993. He has just sold his storage building, and must reluctantly part with his toys. The glossy gold paint looks great next to the natural beige leather interior (excellent condition) and the cutting edge digital dash that gives you many reads on the car at a glance. The exterior trim, including tail lights are in excellent condition. Factory features include plenty of comforts that will give the driver and passenger a great ride and driving experience. Recaro - Durosoft leather seats, On-board computer, full power seats, rear window defrost, power convertible top, and much more. The car is being sold with the soft and hard tops. The hard top stand is also supplied. The car is very nice overall - the only flaw to point out is that the radio does not work - there is no sound coming out of the speakers (have been told this is very common on these cars). |

Online Find Of The Day: 2008 Cadillac XLR picks up where Excalibur left off
Thu, 23 May 2013We try very, very hard to keep snark away from creations like the one you see here. After all, someone poured plenty of enthusiasm, time and money into turning a 2008 Cadillac XLR into a modern interpretation of the new-old cars typically done by cottage builders like Excalibur and Clénet. Even so, it's hard not to wince when you set an eye on this machine. With its wheelbase stretched to accommodate the extra bodywork, goofy sidewalls and upkicked nose (examine it in profile, it looks slightly bent in the middle), this "neoclassic" takes whatever was loveable about the Cadillac underneath and buries it in a tacky grave.
Miraculously, the engine bay has been left unmolested, which means the retractable hardtop convertible still features a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine good for 320 horsepower. If only that were enough to outrun its shame. If, for some reason, you feel like taking this thing home, Harry Kaufmann Motorcars of Milwaukee says it can be yours for a paltry $74,998. We wish were joking. Check it out here.
Cadillac Elmiraj Concept slinks in Leno's Garage
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Jay Leno's Garage has moved to Pebble Beach for the week. This time around, the affable comedian is taking a look at the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept that debuted during the Monterey car week, and is talking to General Motors vice president of global design, Ed Welburn.
There's plenty of reminiscing about what concept cars were like when these two were kids, before a fairly deep dive into the striking Elmiraj Concept itself. Welburn shares a few anecdotes about the design process behind the two-door concept, including how his designers changed his mind on the grille design.
After bringing up the Cimarron, Leno makes a solid point that the Elmiraj would be a solid production car that could even spawn a four-door variant. We couldn't agree more. Take a look below for the full video from Jay Leno's Garage.
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
