The 1989 Cadillac Allante is a luxury two-seat convertible built by General Motors and at its time was the most expensive new Cadillac model in the marque's history. The car was designed to compete with such cars as the Mercedes-Benz SL line. though it fell short of that car in performance. Cadillac did not produce or sell as many Allante models as it had projected. The car's steep $57. 83 base price impacted sales. only 3. 96 units for 1989. 1989 and 1990 were great years for the Allanté. Cadillac improved it. with the re-tooling of the soft-top. 4. 5 engine with 200 + horsepower. 16" wheels. lower headrest. telescopic steering wheel. electronic suspension. But still failed on sales because of its reputation of the 87-88 models. Cadillac needed to do something. And they did. In mid production on the 1990's. they redesigned the Allante again. Thus being the 1990. 5 also known as the Phase 2 added a little more to the car and took some things away like the chrome strips around the headlights. the telescopic wheel and the hard top. New to this year was the drivers side airbag. CD player. better suspension and handling. different soft-top boot cover with better mini covers. better sound to the Bose audio system. better designed to the seat switches. And power front latches for the soft-top. Here is a brief history of the Cadillac Allante: The Allanté was Cadillac's first venture into the ultra-luxury roadster market. The vehicle was sold from 1987 until 1993. with roughly 21. 00 models built over its 7-year production run. The Allante production was planned at 6. 00 units per year; sales figures. however. show that Cadillac only built about half as many.   Originally designed under the code name "Callisto". the Allanté was intended to restore Cadillac to its position as a premium luxury automobile builder. Allante direct competitor was the very successful Mercedes-Benz SL. and to a smaller degree. the Jaguar XJS. Allante 4. 1 liter V8 was shared with other Cadillacs across the line. but when specified to the Allanté. several changes were made. Unlike Buick's Reatta. which shared powertrain and underpinnings from the Riviera and the Oldsmobile Toronado. Cadillac borrowed very little from the Eldorado and Seville for Allanté. The body of the Allanté was designed and built in Italy by Pininfarina. The completed bodies were shipped 4. 00 miles (7. 00 km) from Italy in specially equipped Boeing 747s. 56 at a time to Cadillac's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly plant. The bodies were then mated to the chassis. [1] This led to a few interesting nicknames. such as "The Flying Italian Cadillac" and "The world's longest assembly line. " The car's front-wheel drive (FWD) powertrain was unique in its class. and brought the car in for serious criticism. FWD is rare among high-priced sports and touring cars. as the configuration may understeer in heavy cornering. torque steer under heavy acceleration. and requires a front-heavy weight distribution for good traction. The Mercedes 560SL — along with the rest of the Allante competitors — was rear-wheel drive.  The vehicle was sold from 1987 until 1993. with roughly 21. 00 models built over its 7-year production run. The Allante production was planned at 6. 00 units per year; sales figures. however. show that Cadillac only built about half as many. Contact Kennith Stewart at 1-877-689-6930 for more information.
