Did you ever have a friend tell you that they just bought a major appliance, maybe a new refrigerator, and they say “It’s the Cadillac of refrigerators?” To that friend, this means there isn’t a better refrigerator on the market and they wanted to let you know they spent a lot of money for it.That reference didn’t happen by accident. Cadillac has been around a long time, going back to 1902 when Henry Ford and his investors had a disagreement with Ford actually leaving the Henry Ford Co.
Burger wanted an aspirational model and thought perhaps using a prestigious European designer and coach builder could be the answer. He wanted a two-seat roadster, which Cadillac hadn’t produced since the 1930s. So Burger sent some engineers to Italy to search for a design firm, and for the task they selected Pininfarina, the world famous car designer and coach builder.
Oakland resident Calvin Black has owned this issue’s 1992 Cadillac Allanté for about three years. Black’s mother-in-law bought the car new from Stead Cadillac in Walnut Creek. He doesn’t know what she paid for the car, but by the time the 1992 models came out, the base price had increased to $57,170.
