In 1986, an all-new, much smaller body attempted to combine the crisp angularity of the original Seville with the rounded edges of the new aerodynamic aesthetic. The series featured a transverse-mounted V8 driving the front wheels. The smaller size and conservative styling were regarded as bland, and customers stayed away. Despite the lack of popularity, the new Seville/Eldorado chassis featured an advanced transmission and engine control system that offered EPA fuel consumption figures of nearly 30 mpg-US (7.8 L/100 km; 36 mpg-imp) on the highway using a small fuel injected V8

Cadillac Sixty Special (1961-1964)

Cadillac Sixty Special (1961-1964)
Manufacturer : Cadillac
Productions : 1964
Engine : inline 8 cylinder, 211.00 PS (154,23 kW or 206,96 HP) at 4600 Rev. per min.
Transmission : 4 speed automatic transmission
Source : wikipedia.org
For 1961, Cadillac’s Fleetwood Sixty Special received all-new sheet metal, with a crisp, formal roofline fitted with a vinyl covering and a mildly shorter 129.5 in (3,290 mm) wheelbase. The small decorative louvers were back, this time just ahead of the tail lights. Sales were up to 15,500 units. With the cancellation of the four-door Eldorado Brougham at the end of 1960, the ’61 Fleetwood Sixty Special now became the sedan companion to the Eldorado coupe.
1962′s styling remained similar to ’61, and Sixty-Special’s fender louvers were moved up to the roof, directly behind the rear door opening. A revised grill up front, and a new trim panel below the rear deck lid rounded out the subtle changes. Sales slipped to 13,350 this year at a base price of $6,366.
1963 had all-new styling (on the same 129.5″ wheelbase), and a brand new 325 hp (242 kW) powerplant. Sixty-Special shared its (lack of) body-side trim with Eldorado – appearing very clean and formal when compared to the standard Cadillac models. Price was down to $6,300, and sales were up slightly 14,000. While the small decorative louvers continued on the C-pillar, a new Cadillac “wreath and crest” ornament was on the rear fender. The front fender-mounted cloisonne “Sixty Special” emblem (which appeared for 1960) was gone. The formerly standard vinyl top had now become a $125 option on Sixty-Special.
Other than a slightly revamped grille and rear bumper, 1964 saw few changes – including the Cadillac wreath and crest ornament moving from the rear fender of the ’63 model to take the place of the C-pillar mounted louvers for ’64. The ’64 Sixty Special (and companion Eldorado convertible) now had nearly no side trim, except for a wide rocker-sill molding which ran from the rear-edge of the front fender wheel well to the rear of the car. Cost was back up the ’62 price of $6,366, and sales were up to 14,500 units.

Cadillac Allante (1989)

Cadillac Allante (1989) 1
Manufacturer : Cadillac
Productions : 1989
Engine : V8, 4.5 L HT-4500, 200 hp (149 kW) at 4300 rpm and 270 ft·lbf (366 N·m) at 3200 rpm
Transmission : 4 speed automatic transmission
Source : netcarshow.com
Originally designed under the code name “Callisto”, the Allanté was intended to restore Cadillac to its position as a credible competitor to the Mercedes-Benz 560SL. Its chassis and engine were originally taken from the Cadillac Eldorado, though it also shared components with the Buick Reatta, Riviera and the Oldsmobile Toronado.
The chassis of the Allanté was made in Detroit, then was loaded onto specially equipped jets and shipped to Italy where the body (which was designed by Pininfarina of Ferrari fame) was mounted to the chassis. Afterwards, the cars were loaded back on the jetliners and shipped back to the Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly plant in Michigan for completion. This led to a few interesting nicknames, such as “The Flying Italian Cadillac” and “the world’s longest assembly line.”
The Allanté was initially priced at US$54,000, far above the price of any other contemporary Cadillac. Today’s Cadillac XLR, also a convertible roadster, at roughly $70,000 is similarly priced at the top of the Cadillac range. Only 21,000 were built.
The car has appeared in the movies Tango & Cash, Cadillac Man, Terminal Velocity, Lethal Weapon 3 and “Rocky V’, and was the pace car at the 1992 Indianapolis 500. JR Ewing also sometimes drove an Allante in Dallas.

Cadillac LaSalle (1927)

Manufacturer : Cadillac
Productions : 1927-1930

Built by Cadillac to Cadillac standards, the LaSalle soon emerged as trend setting automobile within GM, and Earl was placed in charge of overseeing the design of all GM vehicles.
LaSalles were offered in a full-range of body styles, including Fisher and Fleetwood built custom body designs. The roadster could also be ordered in two tone color combinations at a time when dark colors like black and navy blue were still the most familiar colors produced by manufacturers. Earl’s design even included a nod to the inspirational Hispano-Suiza with the marque’s circled trademark “LaS” cast into the horizontal tie bar between the front lights.

Cadillac Eldorado (1953-1959)

Manufacturer : Cadillac
Productions : 1953-1959
Engine : 5422 cc, 8-V, OHV, 2 valves per cylinder

The Cadillac Eldorado was the longest running American personal luxury car as it was the only one sold after the 1998 model year. Its main competitors included the Mark Series and the lower-priced Buick Riviera. The name Eldorado was derived from the Spanish words “el dorado”, the “gilded one”; the name was given originally to the legendary chief or “cacique” of a S. American Indian tribe. Legend has it that his followers would sprinkle his body with gold dust on ceremonial occasions and he would wash it off again by diving into a lake. The name more frequently refers to a legendary city of fabulous riches, somewhere in S. America, that inspired many European expeditions, including one to the Orinoco by England’s Sir Walter Ralei

1953 Cadillac Le Mans Concept
September 26, 2011 – 7:29 am
Manufacturer : Cadillac
Productions : 1953
Engine : 331 CI V-8 250-HP
Source : netcarshow.com
The Cadillac Le Mans was a concept car developed by Cadillac in 1953. It was named for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France, which Cadillac competed in in 1950. The design was a low-profile (51-inches to the windshield frame), two-seat, fiberglass-bodied roadster. It was powered by a 250-HP version of Cadillac’s 331 CI V-8, a power output not reached in production Cadillacs until 1955. Though 4 units were built, the model never went into production, and it would be nearly 50 years before Cadillac developed another vehicle with a similar design concept, the Cadillac XLR. Of the four, 1 is documented as having been destroyed in a fire; the other 3 still exist with 1 of those currently in the Cadillac Historical Collect
