Vehicle Description
The 1993 Cadillac Allante is exceptionally desirable because only
the final-year cars got the most powerful engine choice. And this
one takes that performance spirit to heart with a custom touch that
adds even more sportiness and uniqueness to the already distinctive
triple black presentation.
We're told this car spent many years with an Allante collector, and
it seems like he took the time to make the Caddy he always wanted.
There are unique details here that make all the difference. The
chrome trim is deleted, the grille is blacked out, and you have
center-exit dual exhaust tips. The 18-inch alloys give you a hit of
the desirable Cadillac chrome while it also upgrades you to the
modern Cadillac size and design. And the trunk has been custom
formed to integrate a full rear spoiler. It makes this Allante look
even more European, and that seems right considering it was styled
and built by the masters at Pininfarina. We especially like the
coordinated red on the brake calipers and the trim line that
encircles the car. It is a subtle hint at the Italian heritage and
is a bold standout against the black. Speaking of the black, it has
the kind of deep shine that reminds us of volcanic glass and it
shows it was given superior care and investments by a
collector.
The black roof has a clean appearance that looks terrific in place,
but for true distinction, you want to take it down. It's not just
that you get to show off the full triple-black style (exterior,
roof, and interior,) but there are also nice custom elements to
showcase in this special Allante. The leather seats are a beautiful
custom piece that breaks up the darkness with a hint of bold red to
coordinate with the exterior color theme. And the Pininfarina logo
stitching is a great premium touch. The rest of the interior is
stock and exceptionally presented, and it makes it easy to get
comfortable in this Caddy. So do the long list of features that
include power seats, cruise control, power windows, power locks, an
alarm system, a driver airbag, and a premium AM/FM/CD stereo. The
digital dash is a wonder of '90s technology, and it certainly
delivers on Cadillac's modern promise of art and science. This one
even takes it further into the modern age with a backup camera
integrated into the rearview mirror. It's a terrific car for having
some top-down fun, and since you have both heated seats and
automatic A/C climate control, you can comfortably be open to the
world nearly any time of year.
Even without the awesome custom style, 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
32-valve 4.6-liter Northstar V8. It produces 295 horsepower, which
is a huge 48 percent bump over the previous year! This one looks as
clean as the rest of the car, and there are even custom details to
let it follow the black with red color theme. The Allane was built
to take on the best from Europe, and so the dynamics were also on
the engineers' minds. They made a nice balance of an easy cruiser
with an engaging driving experience. It includes a four-speed
automatic transmission with overdrive, power steering, four-wheel
disc brakes with ABS, and fully independent suspension.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, service manuals,
maintenance records, and judging sheets (and award) for when this
unique Allante went to shows. This is arguably the most desirable
year for the Allante, and it's presented with a unique singularity.
