Vehicle Description
The Atlanta Showroom is offering this 1990 Cadillac Allante for
sale. This clean car fax Allante is a nice looking caddy. Cadillac
had launched the front-drive Allante for the 1987 model year, to
plenty of fanfare, as the company's most expensive model. Body and
interior design for Cadillac's first 2-seat model was created by
Pininfarina, in Italy, but the V8/automatic drivetrain was strictly
American. Bodies were produced at a facility near Turin, Italy,
then loaded onto special jet planes and flown to Detroit. Once
there, driveline and underbody components were installed. Allante
was a full convertible, with integral folding soft top and
detachable aluminum hardtop. Aluminum was used for the hood and
trunk lid while the unit body/frame structure employed galvanized
steel. The Allante's wheelbase measured 8.4 inches shorter than an
Eldorado's, but the 2-seater shared its basic fully independent
suspension. An all-disc power brake system with Bosch antilocking
was standard. By 1990, a 200-horsepower, 4.5-liter V8 was the
motive source, also with automatic only. Traction control was new
for 1990, using sensors for the antilock brakes to detect wheel
slip during acceleration or steady cruising. When either front
wheel began to slip, the system applied braking force to that
wheel. If both front wheels were slipping, enough braking action
was applied on both sides to optimize traction. A driver's airbag
went into the 1990 models, and electronically controlled shock
absorbers were retuned to improve ride quality. The standard sound
system now included both a cassette and a CD player. Primary rival
was the Mercedes-Benz 560SL, also a 2-seater. Options include: Air
Conditioning, AM/FM radio, CD player, power brakes, power steering,
convertible top, cruise control, lumbar support, power windows,
power mirrors, traction control, anti-lock brakes, power seats,
anti-theft system, white walls, tilt wheel, leather interior,
radial tires, aluminum alloy wheels. To view the car in greater
