Looks an awful lot like a Caprice
The Cadillac Voyage didn't make it in production so Chevrolet use the exterior for their Caprice. ( Which does look dumb on a Chevy but excellent on a Cadillac.)
I agree with the awful part only.
I came here to say this
Yeah looks like a customized Caprice
Whole heartedly agree
GM did build that. The Roadmaster.
Fleetwood
Very relevant comments, yes.
Caprice.
I was thinking Caprice/Impala but I think Roadmaster is even better. Regardless, all were beyond ugly.
Looks like a bloated, overweight sedan. How American.
Adam, it's very clear that this concept influenced several cars that were built in the '90s including the large DeVille, the Buick Roadmaster, and even the Chevy Caprice.
"That’s a Caprice" is the first thing I said to myself when he first showed it in the video.
@@gigglybeast Yeah, I thought the same.
So it spawned a bunch of lookalikes 😂😂😂
Y'all sure know how to deface the perception of a ten year old's past.
Can I help?
@jimbimedia Ahhhhhh 👇 Youuuuu 😆 👌
My mom - who would be 92 now - had driven Lincoln’s since ‘73; she saw the Voyage and said “THAT is a Cadillac I would buy.” It always stuck with me.
Good thing she didn’t teach you anything else then
Your mom had good taste, unlike most of the commenters here.
The Voyage looks like a concept for the 91-96 Chevy Caprice. The front of the secondary design looks almost identical to the Chevrolets we have today!
It also hints a bit at the first generation Saturn SC coupes, too.
Spectacular hood length scream Cadillac. Side view of window “trickledown” on the Caprice. Still relevant design in 2024.
I still have the Cadillac Voyage literature from the 1988 Chicago Auto Show.
HOT DAMN EIGHTY H'EIGHT🦅✅🏁💯
That was the last CHICAGO AUTO SHOW ME and MY WIFE went to. The LIT you got from then, PRICELESS
I take that design over the DUV And CROSSOVERS of today.
yes they're all awful to sit in, it's like riding in a bus I like to stretch out
Any day!
I would take that design over anything today. And any day.
I'd take anything over a crossover..I can't fathom why people will buy them...ugliest vehicles ever designed, all of them...some of the worst are those darth-vader mask Lexus things, really over the top weird looking, and those Mazda things with the mud-turtle snout on the front.....
@@dyer2cycle yes and they're not comfortable at all
That low beltline is delightful
Amen to that! Today's vehicles make me feel like I'm driving an Armored Car. Bleah!
@@davidphillips5395 100%. I just want to put my elbow on the window seal!
Get a hobby. That’s just queer.
I want to see if it'll actually turn at all js 😂😂
I always loved seeing this and its coupe twin in Demolition Man. Honestly that movie is amazing just for the GM concept cars
I was going to make a similar comment about the Demolition concept cars. Sadly this spring of 2024, I saw something on the Demolition Man Concept cars were going to be junked by GM. They didn’t look to be in the best condition.
They should at least be run through the Barrett Jackson auction.
GM shouldn’t be worried,the technology in those vehicles are old news now.
@@swvwestof course,that’s not surprising at all
@@swvwest Cadillac Aurora. It's very depressing. I'm not one for compact cars, but that was a cool looking little sedan. I don't know why they couldn't have just donated it to a museum.
Funny how the cars and time in general for Demolition Man was meant to be in 2020. They depicted such a futuristic future and that we were living in almost unimaginable ways, and yet 2020 was no so much different from 1992 in many ways. Great movie though. Its always nice to see how our older generation used to predict the future compared to reality.
He mentions the Aurora and the Regal but not one word about how much it looks like a Caprice!
The dude cracks on about the hood ornament and grill missing from the 2nd gen concept, as if the glass roof wasn't Luxury, and Six Ducks were.
They spout off about a souped-up high horsepower 4.5L, when EVERY big car owner respects Torque values.
I agree with others, this car seems to have influenced things like the Caprice and the 92 LeSabre and the Roadmaster. Very cool car.
Cadillac has influenced the driver controls area more than any other car maker. Locations for wipers, signals, and pedals were standardized after Cadillac's Designs.
At 4:10, do you see those buttons placed right where you put your Arm, on the Arm Rest?
That Dumb Idea has infected sooooo many other current Makes and Models.
Cars constantly misbehaving because their owner laid there arm on the Arm Rest.
They could a put fifteen switches on that Pistol Grip Shifter, but they thought Your Elbow activating those controls Randomly would be more Exciting.
Especially the useless hubcaps
the 90s B and D bodies were the closest we got to this I think.
You can sure see the influence to the bloated Caprice.
They kinda did if you look at the mid-late 90’s devile and brougham. It actually has a lot of similarities to the early 90’s caprice.
Caprice, Roadmaster…
@@johnmc67let’s not forget the Olds Custom Cruiser wagon!
FLEETWOOD BRO'UGH'AM
Interesting choice. To me the only Cad concept car that caught my eye was the Sixteen.
Still gorgeous
Agree. I got to see that in person. Striking.
"Interesting" is a lot more tactful than the words that come to my mind about this choice, lol.
Yes, the Sixteen was a looker for sure!
The interior gives me GM EV1 vibes, particularly with the gear shifter.
Those headrests would definitely accommodate women of the 80s wearing butterfly clips in the big hair of the day.
I imagine being rear ended and your neck being pinched between the headrest eventually putting you to sleep! 😳
Good point. My girlfriend back then always wore one. Hadn’t thought of them in decades.
Extremely important feature for squiring a big-haired eighties babe about town.
They look goofy and in an accident, I doubt that they would do any good.
Interior reminds me of Jarjar Binks
I have a framed poster of a similar looking Cadillac called the Solitaire. It is dark red and appears to be the coupe version of this car. I remember I got the poster for free at the auto show back in the late 80's. It's a real stunner.
Like the pictures of the cars we drew in our notebook while we sat through 9th. grade math class.
The Cadillac Fleetwood and Pontiac Firebird had a baby!
Yes, the front end looks like they took the shape of the mid 80's T/A. The hood almost looks like they got it straight from the F-body production line!
It’s amazing that GM put the Cimarron into production but passed on this beauty. Its a wonder the Cadillac brand has survived
And they made almost the same mistake with the Catera. They really didn't know what the hell they were doing.
The Escalade is the only vehicle that’s kept them in business to this day.
@@FrankTimms-cs5hland odd ball consumers,very odd
I'm really digging these concept car spotlights lately. Keep them coming!👏👏
I actually sort of like it, more than I thought! The interior is a separate issue - the headrests strike me as a designer saying ‘What if we make the headrests look like a pair of beige earbuds from 30 years in the future?’ and everyone else agreeing how cool it looks and not thinking about comfort.
By far my favourite concept car remains the Chrysler Norseman, sadly sitting as a pile of rust in Andrea Doria’s collapsing cargo hold. Exner’s beautiful lost creation deserves a replica.
I've got a couple Norseman die cast and a resin model. Aluminum doesn't rust so body should be fine but the 331 Hemi is probably gone to the tides as rust 🚗
If you are using your headrest while driving, pull over and take a Nap.
The only purpose it has is keeping your Head attached to your Body when you Crash.
The concept of those two-piece Safety Devices has eluded you, probably, in part, that you think jamming things into your ears is a good way to enjoy Music.
No concern for moisture, dirt, or hearing the World Around You, because some Marketing Experts called them Ear"buds".
Don't you dare complain that you get ear infections, or that a Safer Headrest abuses your eyes.
@@truthsRsung Well aren’t you just a pleasant individual. I never said anything about my preference in headphones (and I hate earbuds anyway) and you just go ahead and spew vitriol all over the place. If those ‘two-piece’ headrests were actually significantly safer, they would be common in motorcars: they aren’t.
Originally, "headrests" were not intended to actually touch the head, only to block the rearward movement of the head in a crash. In recent years, I've noticed that they no longer have front-to-back adjustments and protrude forward to make the driver crouch a little in many models. This is so annoying that I've turned the damn thing (the driver's side) 180 degrees in the last 2 cars I've owned. I assume the gap here was for rearward visibility, though the camera arguably renders that unnecessary.
@@truthsRsung I don't know about infections, but I've yet to encounter a set of earbuds that sound anywhere near as good as even a $30 pair of over-the-ear Sony headphones. I guess I won't have to be worrying about infections any time soon.
My favorite Cadillac concepts were the Cien and Ciel. I still can’t believe they didn’t build those cars.
Such a beautiful concept car, and yes, a V-12 under hood would have been the cherry on top! The Voyage's C-pillar and rear glass does foreshadow the Olds Aurora, but the overall design is more 91 Chevy Caprice and Buick Roadmaster. To my eye,the Advanced Design Studio's exterior proposal carries more Aurora styling cues. Thanks Adam, for the excellent content, as always 😁
ANYTHING had to be released to take eyes off the Cimarron.
The shifter honestly looks like an afterthought.
I'd hate to have to explain one if it was found in my luggage by TSA.
I remember seeing this car at the Epcot Center in Walt Disney World in 1989. I found it stunning. It was displayed at the ground level of the Spaceship Earth globe which at the time housed a ride called Universe of Energy. Several styling cues were used in designing the Caprice and some of the Cadillacs.
Hello Adam et all, the Cadillac Solitaire in 1989 (essentially a 2 door Coupe version of the Voyage) had a dual-overhead-cam, 48-valve V-12 engine with port fuel injection which was developed in conjunction with Lotus, the 6.6-liter powerplant produced 430 horsepower, along with 470 pounds/feet of torque (wish that was carried forward into there future vehicles instead of the ill-fated head gasket blowing Northstars). What I loved about these vehicles is the fact they had an in dash ETAK Navigation system and it also had a rear vision video camera! Wow that was 36 years ago!
From the outside, this looks like it inspired the 1990 Chevrolet Impala and 1991 Caprice.
A question: how did the front wheels manage to turn in with those wheel covers? Did they move with the wheel when turning a corner?
Ask George Mason... he would have loved this Cadillac "Nash".
I been waiting to see who else thought this … everyone said the caprice and the road master … but it also has the impala vibes aswell
Really liked that alternate from the California studio, even though it did not really look like a Cadillac.
Has some Lumina elements to it.
the other car looks like a pontiac just put some bird decal on the hood
I like the hideaway headlights. Shame we can’t have them on new cars. The interior doesn’t feel Cadillacesque to me, maybe Olds or Pontiac. It definitely has some interesting elements!
You can have them just has to be on electric cars, notice the sharp edges the cybertruck has. Which were the cyber truck a v8 made by gm would have been forbidden before the ink on the drawing dried. I agree on the interior feels more Pontiac than Cadillac.
Some interesting interior elements, yes--- but no cup holders!!
I see a lot of 91-96 B body in this design especially the front grille for the Fleetwood
"BLOATED" is the word that came to my mind, too.
I always tell my kids to tell the truth, so it's not my first choice as a great looking GM car. My top three best looking GM cars: 1969 Z28 w/o hidden headlights.
1967 Cadillac Eldorado w/o vinyl top.
1957 Corvette V8 four speed.
Thanks to Adam for helping to keep automotive history alive and kicking........................
I've seen that design in a Jetson cartoon around 1963.
I agree, it certainly looks retro-futuristic.
Wonder if the turning circle is impaired by the front fairings😮
@@iconicshrubbery Most GM products from that era I've driven already have garbage turning circles, so it probably doesn't matter.
These type of concepts eventually showed up in a lot of cars in the mid 90's. It personally reminds me of some of the odd vehicles that got used in the movie Demolition Man!
Cadillac has a wonderful history of concepts that never made it to production. The Voyage, Cien, etc, etc etc.When they did stretch to build an "Ultimate luxury" vehicle we got the ungainly (to my eyes) Celestiq. They had so MANY wonderful concepts to draw on and this is the best they could do?
The LeSabre always looked big and bloated on its own. But the pic with Bill Mitchell behind the wheel shows that it is just a rebodied Corvette, and a much more fun sized car.
I seem to remember seeing that Caddy at the Detroit auto show. P.S. At the auto show I saw the 89 T bird SC and bought one. Titanium clear, maroon leather ,nice car.
Thank you Adam. This was an excellent video. You covered it quite well. The things I was going to say you did. The1992-1997 Seville was influenced by this design concept. The Fleetwood and Deville were as you stated. The grille ended up on the Deville, Fleetwood, Sixty Special in the 1990's. There was the coupe version of this design the Solitaire that influenced the 1990's Eldorado. You were on the mark with your comments. That engine in this car is what should have been used instead of Northstar V8. The 4.9 liter V8 version of this engine got 180 to 200 horsepower and was reliable. This car set the trend for Cadillac of the 1990's. Cadillac was thinking about a V-12 engine too. It never happened. This car was in the film Demolition Man too. Pontiac and Buick used halo headrests after that concept in the 1990's. This is why so many posting here are saying this concept car looks like a Chevrolet Caprice: th-cam.com/video/vw0vxyyMa9Y/w-d-xo.html
Jay Leno showed off his new Rolls Royce Coupe. And I commented, I didn't like it. They tried to make it look so modern, it lost its elegance. This Cadillac concept car proves that you can make an aerodynamic futuristic car and still maintain an extremely elegant and futuristic design. Sadly, modern design in 2024 seems to be synonymous with Hot Wheels toy cars - the Corvette being prime example.
I fondly recall this Cadillac Voyage when they showed it. I had just started selling for Cadillac in early 1988 and was so excited about selling them. Cadillac needs something like this on the road today in EV.
The Lyriq is a stunner in person. But I could see how some find it polarizing, particularly among the "a real car is not electric" crowd.
The interior looks like someone watched a lot of star trek the next-generation. Pretty futuristic
Tell us how the front wheels turned? Didn't the tires extend out on sharp turns? Thanks
I am wondering the same thing.
I was thinking the same thing, it probably had a turning radius even worse than my '96 Corvette, which was only slightly worse than say an aircraft carrier! :D (I still cannot get over how even my '03 Nissan Frontier had a shockingly tighter turning circle than the C4 Corvette) Overall I love the looks but I'm not big on fender skirts, should've ditched those especially the front ones and also change out the seats that look like they were less designed for comfort and looks than the ability to make chiropractors lots of money LOL! But otherwise I love it, from the front snout with those popup headlights to the long hood, low belt line and rear window treatment! Really like the dashboard layout too, very modern but with easily readable analog gauges for the important stuff. People are comparing it to the Caprice here and while yeah i see some similarities it's like the Caprice took everything WRONG from this concept but not one bit of the good! :D
@@terrybeavan4264you’re telling me that my beloved forth gen corvette has an atrocious turning radius???
@@theoddfurry141 LOL I'm just sayin', the same places I could do U-turns with even my Nissan Frontier I had to make "Y-turns" with my '96 Corvette! Mine was a '96 Collector Edition, 6 speed manual and LT4 Grand Sport engine, it gave me a lot of grief with regular breakdowns, did I regret buying it YUP but would I do it again, hmmmm MAYBE???!!! :D
@@terrybeavan4264 thank you for telling me cuz I’ve been lusting for this throughout all of high school and will/would keep lusting for it until i buy my own
I've seen concept art that was drawn up during the 70s of what Cadillac was planning for the Fleetwood and Eldorado after 1976 and it looked very similar to this. Cadillac was just going to continue with the same chassis and engines that they were using at that time but make the body more streamlined. I do like this much better than anything Cadillac is building right now. Cadillac just isn't Cadillac anymore.
Are we just going to ignore the Cadillac Sixteen concept in the background? That is my favorite concept car of all time.
The 93-96 Fleetwood took a lot of this concept for its front half, where the back half looks a lot like the 90s Chevy Caprice. I would prefer this model to have the classic Cadillac vestigial fins and vertical tail lamps, but looks-wise it still beats the hell out of anything Cadillac is producing these days.
Wow! The Packard Predictor predicted the Edsel nose and the '58-60 Lincoln roof!
Yeah I never really see "commentators" mentioning the similarities between the predictor and gen 1 Edsel, it was going for formal pre-work styling with an upright grill, it works much better in the Packard.
I haven't read enough reports from the era but I'm pretty sure the grill wasn't the main issue and it wouldn't even be that shocking to motorists, British makes were still doing pretty much the same thing, with an even more antiquated sheen. Definitely out of step for the forward looking era, but not the deal breaker it's hyped up to be in top ten flop lists and the like
Cadillac should have build the Elmiraj concept, and Buick should have built the Avenir concept.
Buick ended up taking that name for a trim level.
@@cassidybb10didn't GMC do the same thing with the Denali?
Those headrests, remind me both of ear buds and Mr Krabs at the same time. Cadillac also did one with a V16 about this time that was where the Escalade later got its Mojo. They made a Phaeton once that was a total dreamboat.
A bit of trivia, this car was used in the 1993 film Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone
Yup I was thinking the same thing--I need to go back and watch it again, and if that wasn't the same car it definitely had a lot of the same styling cues! By the way I never saw it first run, mainly was just getting tired of the formulaic epic fight scene action movies of the time and of course this was one but I had no idea until the wife watched it on cable recently that there was so much more to it, way more intelligent than I'd expected (as I now realize is Sylvester Stallone) and now it's a favorite of mine! But it bugs me because I fear we're in big peril of LIVING IT! Heck just replace the ever-increasing number of airbags capable of exploding on us from all directions in our big bloated SUV's with quick expanding foam! :D
Actually the car used in " Demolition Man " was the 1989 Cadillac Solitaire coupe that followed this car.
" Be Well! "
@@Lurch4you They're both in the movie.
@rafaelfiallo4123 When Dr Cocteau pulls up in the Solitaire, in the background, you can see the Voyager's rear end briefly.
Point for you!
@@Lurch4you The Voyage also drives by when they park "Chevy" Ultralite and they're about to go down to the sewers
Still looks like a Caprice or Roadmaster to me
Looks a little like Tyler Hoover’s Cadillac concept @!Hoovie’s Garage.
El DaRODo
This is way cooler than that
Great video, thanks for creating and sharing!
Thank you for this and your other overviews of Eyes On Design 2024. I was an invited exhibitor on that glorious celebratory day. I made the rounds continually from 8am to 4pm, veering frequently to several favorite astonishing vehicles, including the Voyage, to pause, bask in and contemplate design lines and beauty. A day fondly recalled in my own photos and video. Dave
Like you, I thought that this was a really imaginative show car with many unique features. I see a lot of the later Fleetwood and DeVille in it. I had not seen any good interior shots until this video, so thank you for those as well.
One of my favorite concept cars of the 80s. Just so excellently styled
I remember seeing this in a magazine sometime back as a kid in the 90's and I immediatly fell in love with it. It looks so... sinister hahaha, so cool!
Adam, This voyage of discovery takes me back to the Oldsmobile wagon version which became the last Vista Cruiser. 😁
The headrests look like boxing gloves!
To me, this looks like how cars of the 2020s SHOULD look - NOT like the bland, identical "melted soap"-design "crossovers" one sees on every road and in every parking-lot.
But then-again, I was a child in the 1960s, and had high expectations: supersonic airliners; Hilton Hotels under the seas and in Earth orbit; bases on the Moon and Mars; etc.
I am EXTREMELY disappointed in how the 2020s have turned-out thus far.
Well said.
Thanks for the full all-around tour of this car. I've always really liked this design. It shows a lot of the themes that GM's design teams were onto across all their divisions at the time, but it's very recognizably Cadillac. Other than the weird headrests I think the interior suits the exterior nicely. I'm amazed that the windows actually go down with that curve near the bottom.
I too remember when this came out. I thought it (and the Solitaire concept) should have had more of an influence on future Cadillacs than they did. They REALLY got the essence of Cadillac design, I think a bit more than the art and science theme that they ended up going with.
ITS one half a caprice
Nice! Looks like my
91 Caprice
I like the glass roof and the skirted wheels.
May have already been said but the head rests look like ear buds to me. Agree with others feeling the Caprice dressed in a tuxedo. Still a stunning concept! Keep up the great work!
Yup I see all the comments but I think the production Caprice took all the BAD and not one bit of the GOOD from this concept, I say they should've ditched the fender skirts and horrendous looking seats that cause me pain just by looking at them and built it! :D
"The 1988 Cadillac Voyage Was The Cadillac GM Should've Built"
They did...it's called the 1993-1996 Cadillac Fleetwood. The Voyage was the basis for the car.
Looks nothing like it.
I agree with the other commenter. Other than the grille and windshield rake, it looks nothing like it. Fleetwood was more boxy, C-pillar and backglass more upright and formal. Nowhere near as sleek and smooth as the concept. While I love the 93-96 Fleetwood, I would have loved it more if it looked more like this concept.
God, this car is beautiful! A TRUE Cadillac.
It’s an OMG it’s ridiculous look. IMO. But to each his own
@larryscott3982 I was starting to think I was the only one who hated it. I grew up in the '80s and I remember crap like this showing up at car shows. I hated it then, I hate it now. Fugly. But to each their own.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but that`s your opinion and you`re entitled to it.@@MichaelPoage666
Amen. It's truly gorgeous. Truly blows my mind anyone thinks it's ugly!
@@MichaelPoage666 lol, I was the opposite. Also grew up in the 80s, spent most of my time admiring the concept cars in magazines and wishing we had that instead of those hideous boxes on wheels that were popular. First production cars I didn't hate were the Taurus/Sable.
One of my all time favorite concept cars. It has a timeless beauty to it.
Reminds me of a old whale tail Impala Police car. This concept is one of the nicest I've seen. I really like the Crossfire in the background! I had a slate grey one and drove it for 4 years, such a fun car.
Oh God its a 91 Caprice from the Cowl back. Barf out. Oh ma gawd
I have to agree with fourdoorglory…Sorry Adam! The Sixteen has it all over this “blob.” 😮
I had not heard of this car until now. Very interesting Cadillac. Thanks Adam
It would have looked a lot better than the Cadillacs they came out with I think,
pretty cool looking concept!
I never liked the whale shape ala the Chevy Caprice. No thank you.
It looks very chubby, borderline obese with little feet.
So...this is what the world would end up with after dehorning a 4th gen Caprice. I'll take the Eldorado in the background instead.
I saw this concept up close and personal at the March, 1992 Dallas Auto Show, along with the hand-built prototype, pre-production, 1993 Brougham. Both cars were quite impressive. It was obvious that the new, up-coming Brougham drew it's inspiration from the 1988 Voyage'. I am pretty sure that's why it was displayed alongside the Brougham. When the doors were opened on the Voyage' by the turn style model, I lost my enthusiasm. The seats were totally hideous and plain with those strange, alien, split headrests that gave me a migraine just looking at their uncomfortableness. The instrument panel did not look like it was styled with the car at all. It had a very "Pontiac" vibe goin' on that did not match the car. Too much black plastic that did not look coordinated with the interior. The rear design of the Voyage' was much more 1990 Chevrolet Caprice than anything Cadillac. The rear was a huge let-down to an otherwise gorgeous design.
But, like all Cadillac prick-tease concepts that are fabulous, Cadillac never builds them. Just look at the gorgeous SIXTEEN. That car was begging to be built as a production flagship. But alas, never was. All we get are sub-compact tin cans, SUV's, and trucks as "Cadillacs".
Don't even get me started on those sparky EV's "Lyriq" SUV or that alien, over-priced, station wagon "Celestiq" that will both bomb in the marketplace.
I boldly predict that GM will be a Chinese-owned corporation in less than 7 years.
For some reason those headrests remind me of Bullwinkle the Moose!😃
Not a chance that tub would EVER reach 180mph
I have a 1996 Impala With the same engine that the corvette had the LT1 she'll do 140 without even thinking about it. If I goose her up enough with some of the stuff that's out there now she could do that.
Now I'm sure you know what a
1996 impala looks like.
whale whale whale what do we have here?
Cross between a Fleetwood and the Batmobile
Lol😂
Just redesign it Cadillac!
Thanks for another great video
The Caprice with a Cadillac grill and hood ornament.
Yeah, as others have already noticed and stated, this thing reminds me of the 90s era Buick Roadmaster and Chevy Caprice. That's not a good thing...lol. I'll take a mid 80s to early 90s Cadillac Sedan de Ville any day over this "Voyage".
I miss my 1990 Brougham de'Elegance. After that bodystyle, Cadillacs just stopped looking and riding like Cadillacs.
I've never cared for these upside down bathtub cars from GM in the early 90s. Perhaps this looks better in person.
Nah, probably not.
Fabulous car and video!
I agree GM should have built this gorgeous stunning concept car, wow. Thanks for sharing, and posting..It's appreciated.
Wow , very interesting
Thanks for posting, Adam.
ugliest dream car ever.
Lots of elements were used in the 92+ Seville sedan
This car is beautiful reminds me of the buick riviera i used to own, and yes this car looks like a caprice classic of the same year
Thank you very much for this! I have a book of concept cars that includes this, and I have been looking for more content on it for the last 25 years. Even Dean's Garage (which I've been to) wasn't nearly enough.
THIS, on the other hand, is a gorgeous walk-through that really goes a long way towards scratching that old, old, itch.
Thanks again for doing this, and doing such a good job, at that.
Might you ever consider its companion, the Solitaire?
I’m glad GM kept this platform for the 90’s large bodies. That style made me happy to see after the “look alike” era.
It looks like a Cadillac version of an Aurora on a bubble Caprice platform. I remember seeing it at the NAIAS when it was new and the Solitaire the following year.
I saw this car at the GM Heritage Center 10 years ago, and it looks like it's been cleaned up some since. The front windshield and rear window looked like they were very aged at that time and made of polycarbonate or plexiglass with the edges not finished very cleanly. Driver seat still looks like it has some seat time in it.
Love the rooftop glass, very nice.
It looks like that ‘center pod’ could swivel towards driver or passenger, I guess the big grab handle was to aim it. I love 80’s concept cars, this one was new to me. It’s an amazing design. Thanks for creating all these great videos!
2 1990s GM cars I saw right away at the introduction of the video were the 1991-93 Caprice and the 1993-96 Fleetwood. The rear third of the concept looks a lot like the rear third of the 1991-93 Caprice. The front fascia and many other parts of the exterior look a lot like the 1993-96 Fleetwood.
This was a great video, you can definitely tell this concept influenced later GM's. I would love to see a video on the Cadillac Sixteen concept in the background. I knew about it's existence before because I had the Matchbox, but it was cool to see it make an appearance in the movie "Real Steel". Such a beautiful/retro futuristic design
The closest design I've ever seen is the 1994 Cadillac Seville STS, that my brother had. Black on black with black vinyl roof. Impressive 6 glass lights, a nearly identical egg crate grill up front and very similar taillights. Beautiful car!
It's almost like a 1980's Tesla: Full glass roof, minimalist interior with a "Center pod", electronic door poppers, aerodynamic design...
