The Allante was sold by Cadillac from 1987-1993 with just over
21,000 built during the entire production run. Designed to compete
with the Mercedes Benz SL and Jaguar XJS, the Allante was powered
by a slightly modified version of the 4.1 L V8 engine used across
the Cadillac line. Perhaps the most unique story involving the
production of this vehicle stems from the fact that the bodies were
built in Italy by Pininfarina and then shipped 4,600 miles via
Boeing 747 jets to be mated with their chassis in Detroit. This
1993 Champagne Metallic Cadillac Allante represents the final year
of production and features several upgrades vs. prior years. Engine
capacity was raised to 4.6 L resulting in a respectable 295 hp and
290 ft-lbs of torque. An unequal length control arm rear suspension
was also introduced that year along with variable-assist power rack
and pinion steering and revised disc brakes. A premium quality
sound system dubbed the GM Delco "Symphony" enhanced the overall
driving experience. This unique piece of U.S. automotive history is
located at our Milwaukee showroom. You can view this beautiful
