Vehicle Description
The 1993 Cadillac Allante was the final year for this
Italian-American convertible, and it's the best of the breed. With
the desirable Northstar engine, timeless color combo, and loaded
with features, this one represents the best of it all. And it does
it for a value price.
The reason why the Allante is so handsome is because it was the
last model to follow in the tradition of the highest echelon of
Cadillacs designed and built by the masters at Pininfarina. The
Italian design house understood what Cadillac style was all about,
and so that's why this one has some of the best lines to ever come
out of the 1990s. In fact, the target was to beat the Mercedes SL,
and it did so by looking lighter and sleeker than the German. It
also helps that the glossy black highlights the sharply creased
design, and at the same time, reminds you of pure Cadillac
elegance. Competing for the shine is all the original trim that's
still brilliant, including the bumper accents, grille, and polished
factory wheels. There's even a tasteful tan trim line that
encircles the car.
That delicate trim line on the outside is actually a nice preview
of the tan leather interior. It's this kind of attention to detail
that really drive home the premium feeling. It also helps that you
have plenty of luxury features. This includes power seats, cruise
control, power windows, power locks, an alarm system, driver
airbag, premium AM/FM/CD stereo, and R134a air conditioning. The
digital dash is a wonder of '90s technology, and it certainly
delivers on Cadillac's modern promise of art and science. The top
is a handsome black canvas affair that neatly stows beneath the
hard tonneau cover behind the seats. Plus, the trunk is quite a
useful shape that's big enough to handle much more than a weekend's
worth of luggage. So don't forget those golf clubs!
While this has a great color combo, the big reason people pay extra
for a final-year Allante is under the hood. This was the one and
only time you could get Cadillac's superb fuel-injected 4.6-liter
Northstar V8. It produces 295 horsepower, which is a huge 48
percent bump over the previous year! This is believed to be the
original motor, and it runs with the gusto you'd expect out of a
low-mileage modern classic. And because this was built to take on
the best from Europe, driving dynamics were also on the engineers'
minds. So, it came standard with features such as four-speed
automatic transmission w/overdrive and a fully independent
suspension. Finishing this stellar package is the confidence of
four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, and anti-lock brakes.
Complete with the original warranty card and owner's manual, this
is the ideal athletic Allante. So don't let it slip away. Call
