Smith, CEO of GM 92-93 For fans of Italian styling and an American
powertrain, Cadillac may have answered their wishes during the late
1980s with the Allant?. This example is one of 4,670 models made in
1993, the car?s final model year, with the Northstar V-8 engine and
an assortment of electronic features. This was the former car of
CEO Jack Smith when new, owner?s manual signed by Smith with
inscription ?I killed the car? meaning he stopped production of the
Allante current owner has had the car since 1999. Allant? bodies
were designed and manufactured in Italy by Pininfarina and were
shipped 4,600 miles to the U.S. for final assembly with
domestically manufactured chassis and engines. Specially equipped
Boeing 747s departed from Turin?s International Airport with 56
bodies at a time, arriving at Detroit's Coleman A. Young
International Airport about three miles northeast of Cadillac's new
Hamtramck Assembly plant, known as the ?Allant? Air Bridge.?
Finished in Euro Red (code 47), this car?s paint and trim are in
very good condition from 10 feet away but up close there are minor
imperfections visible at close range. The bodywork is straight and
solid, the engine bay is extremely neat and tidy, the battery
appears new and the body-colored bumpers fit tightly to the body.
This roadster wears BFGoodrich Potenza RE750 radials, size
225/60R16 at every corner. Each tire is mounted on a factory alloy
wheel. The tires and wheels are all in good, original order.
Nestled within the engine bay is a transversely mounted Northstar
engine (code L37), a DOHC, 32-valve 4.6L V-8 with 10.3:1
compression and variable valve timing (VVT). This motor was part of
the Northstar System. Other features included a four-speed
electronic automatic transmission (code 4T80-E), Magnasteer
variable-assist power steering system, road sensing suspension
(RSS), Speed Dependent Damping Control (SD2C) and four-wheel disc
brakes with Bosch anti-lock (ABS). Backing up the motor is GM?s
four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission
(4T80-E) and a 3.71:1 final drive. Driver convenience features
include electronic climate control, Magnasteer variable-assist
power steering system, four-wheel disc brakes with Bosch anti-lock
(ABS), power windows, power locks, power sideview mirrors, power
seats, power mirrors and headlamp washers. The car?s tan leather
interior is in good, original condition. The bucket seats are in
very good order. The carpet, dual-spoke steering wheel, dashboard
and inner door liners, as well as the center console and shift
lever are all decent, A/C works, but has a slow Freon leak. The
factory Delco-Bose audio system with CD player is included, but
inop. Unlike the Cadillacs of yesteryear, the Allant? utilizes a
modern, road-hugging suspension design. The front featured struts
located by one lateral link and one trailing link, coil springs,
electronically controlled shocks and an anti-roll bar. This system,
called Speed Dependent Damping Control, debuted on the 1989 models
and worked by firming up the suspension at 25 mph and again at 60
mph. The firmest setting also was used when starting from a
standstill until five mph. Also introduced in 1989 was a
variable-assist steering system. The rear suspension was also
independent, and incorporated unequal-length control arms, a
toe-control link, fiberglass transverse leaf spring, electronically
controlled shocks and an anti-roll bar. Introduced in early 1992
for the 1993 model year, Allant? was scaled down to just one model
this year. The removable 60.5-pound aluminum hardtop was now a
separate option, as well as the LCD digital instrument cluster in
place of the standard analog instruments. A pearlcoat paint option
(in Flax or Canyon Yellow, with Hawaiian Orchid added midyear) was
available. Also optional were chrome squeeze-cast aluminum wheels.
For its final model year, Allant? received the 4.6 L Northstar DOHC
V-8 engine. It was rated at 295 horsepower at 5,600 rpm. Torque
output was 290 ft?lbs at 4400 rpm. A new unequal-length control arm
rear suspension, shared with the Seville and Eldorado, was also
introduced that year. Also new for the small Cadillacs was Road
Sensing Suspension, an active damper management system, and revised
disc brakes. The 1993 model used GM's Delco "Premium Symphony Sound
System". Other changes for the Allant? included a revised
variable-assist power steering rack, deeper front spoiler, and
single-piece side windows, which did away with the stationary
forward vent window. The 1993 Allant? was also chosen to pace the
76th Indianapolis 500, driven by Bobby Unser. There were three
modified 1993 Allant? Pace Cars that had only seat belts, lighted
roll bars and air intakes modified from a stock production Allant?,
those three Allant? Pace cars were provided for the race, as well
as just 30 stock 1993 Allant?s used as Festival/Pace Cars and 58
stock 1992 Allant? Festival/Pace cars that were used by drivers and
crews at the opening parade and the closing of the race. Al Unser
Jr?s 1993 Allant? Festival/Pace car was featured at both the 2012,
and 2013 Keel?s & Wheel?s Concours D?Elegance in Seabrook, Texas,
Bobby Unser was Grand Marshal in 2012, and Al Unser Jr. was Grand
Marshal in 2013. The Allant? proved popular in Hollywood. Larry
Hagman drove a silver Allant? as J.R. Ewing in the later years of
the hit TV show ?Dallas,? Sylvester Stallone drove one in the
movie, ?Tango and Cash,? and Joe Pesci drove one in one of the
?Lethal Weapon? movies. The last Allant? built was flown from
Turin, Italy on July 2, 1993, and completed at Detroit-Hamtramck 14
days later. With 21,430 built, assemblies averaged just a little
more than 3,000 a year throughout the car's lifetime. Production
officially ended on July 16, 1993. All Allant? models featured a
fully electronic instrument and control panel, which was angled
towards the driver, and featured no knobs or manual controls.
General Motors (GM) also implemented electronic controls in its
mid-to-late 1980s vehicles such as the Buick Reatta, Buick Riviera
and Oldsmobile Toronado Trof?o, although these vehicles included a
touchscreen control panel called the Graphic Control Center (GCC),
which the Allant? did not feature. Convertible competition to this
Allant? in 1993 included Aston Martin?s Virage Volant?, Chevrolet?s
Corvette, Excalibur?s Series V Phaeton, Jaguar?s XJS V-12
convertible, Mercedes-Benz?s 500 SL, Nissan?s 300ZX and Porsche?s
911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet. VIN: 1G6VS3390PU100231 This car is
