1990 Cadillac Allante. This is a great car, lots of fun. Champagne Frost Metallic with a tan leather interior. 150k miles on her and everything works! Dash is bright, radio plays....everything.
This is a rare girl. Designed by Pinin Farina and built on the worlds longest production line (started in Turin Italy and finished in Detroit Michigan), she is a cousin to the Ferraris of the same time frame. With 23k cars built over a 7 year period, the Allante Owners Club estimates fewer than 12k left on the road. She is a 2nd gen car with the exception of the top which still has manual pull downs (yep, using up parts) which means she is a rare "transition" car. This is a blessing in disguise as the electric ones stink. This beast just had 1300 bucks worth of air conditioning work done at Car Tech here in Indy. They are known as the Cadillac Specialists and really looked this girl over. New hoses, new air and top cables repaired and adjusted. She has new wheels and tires from Discount Tire 2 months ago, plus the factory units. This beast also has the color matched aluminum hardtop with stand.
She has a couple of door dings and a few scratches, plus shows evidence of a bit of paintwork here and there, but her Carfax is clean (no accidents) and shows all local service (Lockhart Cadillac, Tutweiller Cadillac, O'Brien Group). The previous owner had a new transmission put in at 142k (Aamco...all papers). I also just replaced the battery. All receipts come with the car.
The interior needs a couple of bolsters replaced, as well as the arm rest recovered and the shift knob refinished. This was quoted at about 600 bucks at a local custom upholstery shop here in Indy. Also, the soft top was not folded properly and has the dreaded holes from the frame arms. A new top would be in order to be pristine, but she doesn't leak badly. It's good enough to drive with it down and toss it up when a storm pops in.
This car runs and drives great. The 4.5 Caddy pulls like a mule and it handles like a slot car. The Italian heritage shows through, but the Cadillac drivetrain is a winner all the way.
This is a good solid car that looks like a million bucks, but is cheap enough to be driven every day and enjoyed. Hey, it's a car....it's supposed to be driven. But it is an aluminum bodied sports car and that means rare. CarFax lists a suggested price add of $1600 because of complete maintenance history. Look up the NADA and bid accordingly.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
Cadillac sales chief fired over policy violation
Sun, 21 Jul 2013Amidst a good year for Cadillac, which is experiencing higher sales gains than any other US brand this year, the US sales chief has been fired over a policy violation, Automotive News reports.
The sales chief, Chase Hawkins, "has left effective immediately," GM spokesman David Caldwell told Automotive News. Caldwell went on to say that Hawkins' replacement would be chosen soon.
Hawkins became the US sales chief in June 2012, and before that was the regional sales director for Cadillac in the Northeast US, overseeing 168 dealerships.
Akerson says Cadillac will get a larger sedan within two years
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It seems that during a recent affair showing off the 2014 Cadillac CTS, General Motors CEO Dan Akerson confirmed reports regarding a new Cadillac flagship sedan. According to USA Today, which Akerson was visiting, he said that a sedan larger than the XTS would debut within the next two years.
This matches up with what we heard earlier in the month about a Cadillac model that will go up against the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class (not a pricier, low-volume sedan also discussed in that article). But this is the first time a high-profile executive name has been attributed to such a report, and the first time a broad timeframe has been mentioned. This article adds that the unnamed car will be rear-, and all-wheel drive with a platform "loosely based" on the new CTS, with styling closer to that car than recent Cadillac concept vehicles. The XTS will continue production of course, as well.
