and kept meticulous records Description from Haggerty.com: The
Allante was Cadillac's answer to luxury convertibles such as the
Mercedes-Benz SL and Jaguar XJS. The car was produced in small
numbers and was unique in several ways. First, the bodies were
designed and manufactured by Pininfarina in Italy, then flown to
Detroit for final assembly. Engine power was initially provided by
a 4.1-liter aluminum V-8 engine with multi-port fuel injection at
170 hp, mated to a front wheel drive automatic transmission. The
mild power ratings set against the Allante's 3,720-pound curb
weight, plus the front-wheel-drive configuration and automatic
transmission made the car more suited for comfortable highway
cruising than for sporty driving. Yet the Allante offered
state-of-the-art technology for Cadillac, with four-wheel anti-lock
disc brakes, Macpherson strut suspension, a digital dashboard, and
a Bose stereo. The Allante was sold with an aluminum hardtop and
cloth folding top on all models. For the 1989 model year, Cadillac
bumped the engine displacement to 4.5 liters and hp up to 200. This
engine gave the Allante bragging rights to the most torque of any
front-wheel-drive car in production. In 1990, the Allante became
the first front-wheel-drive car to be equipped with standard
traction control, along with a host of other technologies just
gaining popularity at the time. Among the features that might now
appeal to nostalgia buffs, the built-in cellular telephone was a
option. Description from Netcarshow.com: The Cadillac Allante was
Cadillac's first venture into the ultra-luxury.
