1993 Cadillac Allante Base Convertible 2-door 4.6l on 2040-cars

US $7,800.00
Year:1993 Mileage:55466
Location:

I won't go into all the fluff other postings have about the 1993 Allante, if you've read one you've read them all.
In addition to this, not a scratch, dent, chip or ding.
Premium Bose symphonic speaker system, but a great speaker system in a convertible, well, you know.
The previous owner put new Michelins on the aluminum wheels.   I replaced them with the Vogues 1-1/4" width whitewall and chrome wheels.  If you can, you should take these almost new tires.  I also have one extra matching Vogue tire, gold ring.   It is really Yellow but saying "Gold" sounds so much more classier.
The A/C has been converted from the old R12 to the new R134 system.  Keep that in mind if you are buying any older car.   Most (including me) did not think of it until I went in for a recharge, and then "SURPRISE".   The CD will not give the disc back, but the car comes with a new still in the box Alpine 6-disc changer.   The right side tailight lense has a small acceptable crack, see photo....the left side curve of the right lense by the license plate.  I also have another less acceptable cracked left tail light lense, which for what these costs (even cracked ones) I can't bring myself to throw away after I replaced it.  I am told it can be repaired, but I don't know how to get to the inside and separate the plastic lense from the housing.
Dash pad, Windblocker, fitted full car cover, extra chrome trim, chrome lower rocker panels, manuals, extra keys.  No Tag, Title, Registration and document fees.  No oil or any other kind of leakage.
I live in the extreme lower SE corner of Missouri.  
$500 deposit into my Pay Pal account, 50% refundable within 10 days of deposit for any or no reason.
The car is not insured, you must show ID and proof of your current insurance if you will be driving it off.
The car is in private storage, so if you want to see it, buy it and drive it off on a weekend, let me know by 3pm Friday.
I don't know exactly what to do about the license plates, as in Missouri the seller keeps the plates. 
I don't want to sell the car but I want to beef up my bucket list account and already have too many cars for one person.
If you want other specific photos of any area of the car, please respond thru eBay with your email address.

Cadillac to move select offices from Detroit to Manhattan?

Fri, 22 Aug 2014

Under Johan de Nysschen, Infiniti moved its headquarters from Yokohama, Japan, to Hong Kong. Now at Cadillac, it appears the company's new president could be planning a relocation of at least some of the brand's operations from Detroit to Manhattan, according to a new report from Reuters.
In the case of Infiniti, de Nysschen pushed for the move because moving away from the brand's Nissan overlords would allow it a bit more freedom. It's evidently a similar case for Cadillac, with Reuters speculating that such a move would help distance the brand from the corporate culture in Detroit. A Big Apple move could also attract new talent that may have considered a job with the brand but were put off by the idea of living in Detroit.
It's important to note that if such a move takes place, it likely won't affect the folks actually responsible for developing the brand's vehicles. Instead, administrative functions, including marketing, could be the focus of the relocation.

Cadillac tipped to call flagship something other than LTS

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without large sedans in its lineup, and while the XTS has had to hold down that end of the fort all on its own, it won't have to for too long. That's because the luxury brand in the General Motors portfolio is preparing to roll out its new LTS, stylistically previewed by the Elmiraj concept pictured above. Only now, the latest thinking is that the upcoming flagship model may not be called LTS at all.
As Automotive News points out, Cadillac's naming scheme is all over the place at the moment. The ATS slotting below the CTS makes sense (alphabetically), but where do the ELR, SRX and especially the Escalade fit into that naming hierarchy? And how would LTS - as the project has been known until now - sit above the XTS?
Fortunately, Cadillac may be on the case, as two of the division's most recent senior appointments seem keen to rationalize the naming scheme. One is Uwe Ellinghaus, who joined Cadillac as chief marketing officer late last year. Speaking of the brand's nomenclature last spring, Ellinghaus was quoted as saying, "We are aware that this is currently a weakness of the Cadillac brand." And his new boss is bound to agree.

GM to build $1.3 billion Cadillac plant in China

Wed, 08 May 2013

General Motors has gotten approval to build a $1.3 billion manufacturing facility for its Cadillac brand in China. China's National Development and Reform Commission signed off on plans for GM to build the plant in the country's Shanghai's Jinqiao zone; construction is expected to begin in June of this year. According to a Bloomberg report, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 150,000 units.
No surprise here, but Cadillac would like to sell a lot more cars in the plush Chinese luxury market. The brand moved only 30,010 cars in China last year, compared with 400k for Audi, and about 330k for BMW. With Cadillac already telling us that it would be moving production of its XTS sedan to China - a production decision that saves having to pay 25-percent import tariffs - approval of the factory is a critical win for the company.
In fact, according to earlier comments by GM China president Bob Socia, it's at least conceivable that Chinese-built Cadillacs could be shipped back to the US for sale. The brave new world of globalization, getting stranger by the minute.
