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, an exclusive color, 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 this is in a sophisticated color like Polo Green.
This shows the right signs of originality, and on a car that has
averaged about 1,900 miles annually, it means it does show some use
but it still knows how to have a nice gloss in the sunshine. So
while you may opt to take some of the value price and invest in a
full detailing or a tune-up, we appreciate that a finish can only
be original once. And this is truly special, because green was
basically only offered for one year, and less than 1,000 were
produced ever. And as a true Cadillac, you get the right hints of
brightwork on the grille, bumper trim, and high-polish 16-inch
wheels.
The black convertible top goes well with the deep green exterior,
but for true distinction, you want to take the roof down. After
all, a tan leather interior against this green really drives how
much this American looks like a European sophisticate. This
upper-class image is also earned through plenty of luxury features.
This includes power seats, cruise control, power windows, power
locks, a cup holder center armrest, driver airbag, premium AM/FM/CD
stereo, and automatic climate control with R134a air conditioning.
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! And because this was built to
take on the best from Europe, driving dynamics were also part of
the engineering. 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.
This Allante has the ideal motor, the ideal color, and the ideal
price. So don't let it slip away.
