The history of Cadillac dates back to 1902. In 1992, the company celebrated its 90 anniversary in fitting style with the introduction of its new Northstar V8 engine. Later in the year, the final 4,670 examples of the Pininfarina designed Allante's were produced, each equipped with Cadillac's new flagship engine. They were equipped with the Quiet Coil Direct Ignition System and Fluid Induction System, complimented by a road-sensing suspension, speed sensitive steering, and Bosch traction control which greatly improved the cars handling.

This car has traveled less than 49,000 miles since new. It retains its original red paint color and black convertible canvas top. Inside it features the 'Symphony Sound' AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo, digital gauge display, and electronic climate control.

In 2008 this Allante Convertible was brought to the Automobiles of Amelia presented by RM Auctions where it had an estimated value of $12,000 - $16,000. Bidding surpassed those estimates, settling at $24,200 including buyer's premium.

This is the only known U.S. Allante that has personally been signed by Sergie Pininfarina.
In March of 1987, Cadillac introduced the limited production Cadillac Allanté. The famous Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina, which had worked for many prestigious marques such as Ferrari and Rolls-Royce, was tasked to handle the coachwork. 747 aircraft were modified to carry the bodies from the Italian coachbuilder's location to Cadillac's facilities in the United States. German steel, Swiss alloy, and French exterior trim amplified the exotic nature of this vehicle.

The integrity of Allante was amplified by Cadillac by having each vehicle undergo a vigorous test-track evaluation followed by an inspection by two teams of technicians. Each team was required to sign-off on each Allanté using their own signature if the vehicle met the standards. A 7-year Limited Warranty was included with each vehicle.

With Cadillac luxury and European racing-heritage, the Allanté was the ultimate car. Bosch III Anti-Lock Braking System providing excellent stopping power while the 8-cylinder engine with Sequential-Port Fuel Injection provided smooth but impressive performance. The 16 cubic-feet of trunk space was large and accommodating, capable of transporting luggage, ski's, and golf bags.

The interior of the vehicle was plush. The Recaro seats were adorned in hand-fitted leather. The instrumentation featured analogue dials and a liquid crystal display. There was plenty of room for the driver and passengers from the two-door coupe.

From the factory, the Allante would set the buyer back just over $56,500. The aluminum block, cast-iron cylinder heads and liners, 90-degree 8-cylinder engine producing 170 horsepower provided ample power to carry the 3490 pound vehicle. During its production run, only 2569 units were produced, guaranteeing their exclusivity in modern times.
