As I tend to repeat quite often, my own area of interest and expertise spans Cadillac production mainly from 1902 through 1970.  I have not studied much the specifications and merits or demerits of post-1970 cars so there will little or no useful information about these models in these pages.

However, I have plenty of documentation and photos relating to these cars so I may add some pictures now and again for your enjoyment.

For more information on Allanté production, I recommend you visit this site.

After assembly the cars were loaded in a specially equipped Boeing 747, in batches
of twenty-three, for shipment back to the USA; to my way of thinking, whatever savings
were achieved with the cheaper Italian labor was subsequently lost in air transportation costs
