Not even a picture?

Weak.

had to google it. bad on you.

badass, though. hopefully they'll build it, sell it for a price that a sane man would spend on even a flagship Cadillac, and most of all, not fucking GM it all up.

"However, a Ciel with a fixed roof—and, sadly, probably without the suicide rear doors—would make for a far-more-feasible and only slightly less entrancing ambassador for the brand than this version."

(from the C&D article I googled)

What's so damned difficult or unlikely about a convertible top and/or suicide doors (particularly on the rear).

Speaking of doors. I love the door "handle" for the AM Vantage V12.

Cadillac 16 had a more realistic shot for production.. given that it was never built, i would not hold my breath on Ciel

9/8/2011 3:36:16 PM

Fucking gross.

9/8/2011 9:53:57 PM

side profile is nice, front however....

9/8/2011 11:59:00 PM

Suicide doors on a car that size will never happen again. You can thank increasingly strict side impact crash standards

9/9/2011 8:28:11 AM

So.. the only good part of that car is the side profile..

i wonder where they got that from

60's lincoln continental maybe??



yep... it appears the designers said .... dude wouldn't it be cool if we made a new entourage car?

yeah but then like caddy up the front end so it isn't obvious....

very interesting, esp for the designers and woodworkers in here

Quote :

"As it turns out, the interior wood trim was hewn from a 300-year-old olive tree that fell in a storm just outside of Naples, Italy. The tree was shipped to a Pennsylvania woodyard where it was then sectioned and kiln-dried. That's where the designers from General Motors caught up with it and sent the 30-inch wide planks through a planer from the 1940s, then sanded and arranged them on a gantry, and then photographed the planks so that their unique grains could be recreated in a special computer program. From there, the chunks were sent to 3D Mass Design and Engineering, where they were cut to GM specifications and glued into their final configurations. Then, Metalcrafters in Fountain Valley, California took on the task of test-fitting and applying the final stain and finish."

complete story and pics of the wood/tree planks and cutting process:
