for sale

Price: US $999.00

Description:

The Cadillac Allanté is a two-door, two-seater roadster marketed by Cadillac from 1986 until 1993, with roughly 21, 000 units built over a seven-year production run.
Originally designed to compete with the Mercedes-Benz SL and Jaguar XJS, the Allanté featured a slightly modified variant of the 4.1 liter V8 used across Cadillac's model line.
The Allanté is noted for an unusual production arrangement, where completed bodies — designed and manufactured in Italy by Pininfarina were shipped 4, 600 mi (7, 400 km) from Italy in specially equipped Boeing 747s, 56 at a time, [1] to Cadillac's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly plant where they were mated with domestically manufactured chassis and engine assemblies.[1] This was not the first time that Cadillac turned to Pininfarina for body work, they previously farmed out body production to the Turin-based coachbuilder for the 1959 Eldorado Brougham, as well as that for several one-offs, customs, and concept cars.
The name Allanté was selected by General Motors from a list of 1700 computer generated names.
