Cadillac Allante

The Cadillac Allanté is a two-door, two-seater luxury roadster marketed by Cadillac from 1987 until 1993. The Allanté was based on a Cadillac chassis and running gear with a convertible body style with a folding soft top and an available removable hardtop. The bodies were built in Italy by coachbuilder Pininfarina which were flown to Detroit for final assembly. Over 21,000 were built during its seven-year production run.
To maintain luxury market position in the 1980s, Cadillac sought an aspirational model that would combine the prestige of a European design with the renown of a European coachbuilder — to help Cadillac compete with Mercedes and Jaguar. It would become the first modern-era two-passenger Cadillac roadster, and the first to wear the Cadillac name since the Cadillac Series 355 roadster of the 1930s....
