My dad worked for Cadillac for years when I was a kid growing up, and he grew up in a Cadillac family. We’ve had Cadillacs in the family since the 50’s, so I do have a special place in my heart for them. And the Allanté was one of those Cadillacs that, while not very successful, helped shape the future to become the Cadillac that we know and love today. The Allanté paved the way for the XLR which paved the way for the CTS-V and that paved the way for the entire V series and Blackwings. It’s an evolution thing. So why not show this long forgotten machine some love?
After making it run and drive and getting it home from Florida, Derek has decided he wants this one to be a driver that he can enjoy during those limited days at home each month. So in this video it is going to get a bunch of love and we’ll see how it turns out.
Would you drive it?
