1990 Cadillac Allante. This is a great car, lots of fun. Champagne Frost Metallic with a tan leather interior. 150k miles on her and everything works! Dash is bright, radio plays....everything.
This is a rare girl. Designed by Pinin Farina and built on the worlds longest production line (started in Turin Italy and finished in Detroit Michigan), she is a cousin to the Ferraris of the same time frame. With 23k cars built over a 7 year period, the Allante Owners Club estimates fewer than 12k left on the road. She is a 2nd gen car with the exception of the top which still has manual pull downs (yep, using up parts) which means she is a rare "transition" car. This is a blessing in disguise as the electric ones stink. This beast just had 1300 bucks worth of air conditioning work done at Car Tech here in Indy. They are known as the Cadillac Specialists and really looked this girl over. New hoses, new air and top cables repaired and adjusted. She has new wheels and tires from Discount Tire 2 months ago, plus the factory units. This beast also has the color matched aluminum hardtop with stand.
She has a couple of door dings and a few scratches, plus shows evidence of a bit of paintwork here and there, but her Carfax is clean (no accidents) and shows all local service (Lockhart Cadillac, Tutweiller Cadillac, O'Brien Group). The previous owner had a new transmission put in at 142k (Aamco...all papers). I also just replaced the battery. All receipts come with the car.
The interior needs a couple of bolsters replaced, as well as the arm rest recovered and the shift knob refinished. This was quoted at about 600 bucks at a local custom upholstery shop here in Indy. Also, the soft top was not folded properly and has the dreaded holes from the frame arms. A new top would be in order to be pristine, but she doesn't leak badly. It's good enough to drive with it down and toss it up when a storm pops in.
This car runs and drives great. The 4.5 Caddy pulls like a mule and it handles like a slot car. The Italian heritage shows through, but the Cadillac drivetrain is a winner all the way.
This is a good solid car that looks like a million bucks, but is cheap enough to be driven every day and enjoyed. Hey, it's a car....it's supposed to be driven. But it is an aluminum bodied sports car and that means rare. CarFax lists a suggested price add of $1600 because of complete maintenance history. Look up the NADA and bid accordingly.

Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace
Fri, Oct 16 2015General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.

Cadillac ATS coupe and sedan get Midnight Editions
Sun, Jul 19 2015Horror stories and fairy tales make a mint by having the scariest things happen at midnight, but automakers make a mint by marketing midnight. Chevrolet busted out a Silverado Midnight Edition early this year, followed shortly thereafter by an Impala Midnight Edition. In between those two we got the Cadillac CTS Midnight Edition, and now comes an ATS following in the zero-dark-thirty tradition, according to GM Inside News. The ATS Midnight Edition will add $1,695 to the sedan price and $600 to the coupe. For that cash outlay you get black chrome on the grille, around the windows, and on the rear fascia, 18-inch "After Midnight" wheels, "sueded microfiber" trim on the steering wheel and shifter, plus the Cold Weather Package with a heated steering wheel and heated front seats. Just those few exterior changes make a big difference up front, increasing the appeal and aggression of the sports sedan without being ostentatious. You can't go dark with just any old ATS, though. The package is limited to rear- and all-wheel-drive versions of the Performance trim. And the color palette is reduced to four hues: Crystal White Tricoat, Red Obsession Tintcoat, Phantom Gray Metallic, and Black Raven. The three possible interior combos are Light Platinum with Jet Black accents, Morello Red with Jet Black accents, and Jet Black with Jet Black accents.
