“LIL AL” at Indy, an Allante’ Story
This 1993 Cadillac Allante’ rolled off the 9,000 mile production line in March of 1992, that production line started in Detroit, Michigan with parts being sent to the world famous design firm of Pinninfarina of Turin, Italy, there to be mated with the Italian designed frame and body only Pinninfarina could do, then loaded on specially designed Boeing 747s, 56 at a time, the Allante’s without an engine or drive train, back to the U.S.A. to have Cadillac add the first production 295 HP Northstar 4.6 V8 and drive train to complete the assembly, (The Allante name could be a take on the Italian word Aliante which in English means Glider as it flew to the U.S.A. without an engine). This Allante is one of just eight Allante’s that had been built with matching options by Cadillac a decal 8 is on front and rear window. The 1993 Allante was chosen to be the Pace car for the 76th Indy 500 race in 1992 with Bobby Unser as spoke’s person for Cadillac and the Pace car driver. Only three 1993 Allante’s were modified (Seat belts, Lighted roll bar, and air intake only) to be Pace cars as the 1993 Allante’s stock Northstar V8 could do 0 to 60 MPH in six seconds. In May 1992 this Allante was sent in a group of thirty 1993 Allante’s to the 76th Indianapolis 500 to be used as a Pace/Festival car for the event. This Allante was the one of the 30 stock 1993 Allante’s (Fifty eight, 1992 Allante’s were also sent) that was stenciled Indy Pace Car, as well as with Al Unser Jr’s name stenciled on the passenger door (It was not needed on the driver door as only the passenger door faced the grand stands) This 1993 Allante was given to Al Unser Jr (LIL AL) to drive at the opening parade and closing ceremonies for the race. Al Unser Jr won that historic race by just .048 seconds between his car and second place winner Scott Goodyear, Al Unser Sr came in third, it was almost an all Unser race with Bobby Unser as Pace car driver, his nephew Al Unser Jr (LIL AL) winning the race and Al Jr’s father, Al Unser Sr (Big Al) coming in third. Two weeks after the 76th Indy 500 this Allante was used by Al Unser Jr again to open the brand new Belle Isle Raceway for the Detroit Grand Prix XI parade. So this Allante was not only on the brickyard track at Indy but also driven around the new Belle Isle track in Detroit which makes it kind of a special 1993 Allante since Cadillac stop producing all Allante’s in July of 1993. This Allante is personally signed on the dash above the glove box by both Al Unser Jr & Bobby Unser and comes with many display items currently has Personalized Texas 10 year plates "LiL Al" it is my hope a buyer from Texas wins this Allante. It says I am the forth owner but I am the third owner as it had to be registered in Florida before I could register this 1993 Allante in Texas there are gaps in ownership when it was museum displayed. I ask for a $1000.00 PayPal down payment and the balance due before pick up, Cash, Money Order, Certified check, Personal Check (must clear bank before pick up) for balance owed, no over balance amount accepted or returned if sent, buyer pays all shipping costs.

GM wants to have 10 plug-in models in China in five years
Sun, Apr 24 2016Last we checked, General Motors was selling all of three plug-in vehicle models in its home country of the US, and is prepared to make the Chevrolet Bolt EV available on these shores later this year. So it's notable that the automaker is hatching plans to have at least 10 plug-in variants for sale in China within the next five years, according to Hybrid Cars. Which plug-ins are coming remains a mystery. GM started selling a hybrid version of the Buick LaCrosse in China this month. The strategy makes sense, as China is now the world's largest car market, and accounts for about a third of GM's annual revenue. The automaker, which operates in China under the SAIC-GM and SAIC-GM-Wuling joint ventures, sells cars there under the Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, and Boujun badges, and has been doing so for the better part of two decades. Most recently, GM started selling a hybrid version of the Buick LaCrosse in China this month. What we do know is that GM is building its Cadillac CT6 Plug-in Hybrid in China, with distribution to be split between China and the US. That model, which is scheduled to start sales by the end of the year, is being built overseas because of a combination of Chinese government support for new-energy vehicle technology through incentives and the fact that battery-pack maker LG Chem makes most of its cells in nearby South Korea. The plug-ins are part of a broader plan by General Motors to either introduce or substantially tweak about 60 models by the end of the decade. With such new models, GM looks to boost unit sales by as much as five percent a year for the next few years. As for the other nine plug-in models slated for China by 2021, the company is mum. GM spokesman Dan Flores declined to comment to AutoblogGreen.

Cadillac CT6 ushers in new naming convention
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Johan de Nysschen has been at his new post as president of Cadillac for not even three months , but he's already seen two of his most notable accomplishments from his two-year tenure as president of Infiniti matched by Cadillac. The brand has announced that it is relocating its headquarters, and is now officially changing its nomenclature.
The brand's new flagship model will abandon the familiar three-letter designation enjoyed by every other model in the range (aside from the Escalade), and adopt an alpha-numeric title. So, rather than the expected title of LTS, Cadillac's top-end car will be called the CT6.
Of course, this won't be limited to just one model. According to Cadillac's press release, "familiar lettering like 'CT' would be used for car models, with the number indicating the relative size and position of the cars in the hierarchy of Cadillac models." And yes, that means what you think it means - Cadillac will use the exact same naming formula, albeit with different letters, as Infiniti.
