Rolls Royce uses skilled craftsmen to build their cars. Cadillac uses UAW DEI hires.
Build not design, he’s just building what they are telling them to build

I got a call last night from my local Cadillac dealer asking if I was interested in purchasing one of these and that they had one coming to town this summer and if I wanted to come see in person.

I accepted the preview invitation

But I would never pay that for a GM vehicle

Typical GM'er.

350K car but it only cost us 4M for the structure and how cheap they did other parts of the car. Then saying the front/rear surrounds are 'free' from the extra material stampings.

Not exactly what your ultra luxury car customer wants to hear.

Regardless of what you think of the exterior, the interior is uninspiring.

They sold them all out but that mentality is built into everyone at GM.

It is hand built, in that same building that the video was shot.

I am not sure if its union labor or not, but all the cars are built on site at the tech center.

I always liked the Cadillac Coat of Arms. When I was a kid, like 8 years old, I used to stare at the enameled coat of arms on the neighbors '49 Cadillac. It was so much nicer than the new '69 Caddys you would see. As I grew up, In the early '90's, I ran into a guy at a swap meet who wanted to trade his 1930 Cadillac roadster straight across for my '67 GTO ragtop. I almost, almost, did it, but the GTO was my prime commute car back then and I needed it too much on a day to day basis. Fast forward a few years and I just missed out on a maroon 1947 Series 61 Sedanette. I have an old friend with a '41 Series 61 convertible coupe---what a car. Up to about 1970, great cars, IMO. There are no new cars I crave, as they just don't do it for me. Before I leave this earth, I just may own the Caddy of my dreams. Name:  4162.jpg
