Before an another stupid asks, what is the red yank cabriolet behind the Allanté? Japyank collaboration with tilting headlamps? I know I have the answer but too early this mo…

But yes the Cadillac Allanté it is that I spotted. The Bayview link was as Gerard said and I suspected might be, was just a very fancy chrome dealer badge. Quote:

Yup, y'all nailed it. Often dealer badge on the rear left corner. You can just make out the Allante on the rear right light housing. It was a custom body Toronado by that time but I think chopped in the middle, and took FOREVER to build cause they were finished by Pinninfarina. Peak dumpster fire Cadillac era there with the Cimmaron (everyone will pay double for a straight rebadge right?), just before the stupid AF duck ad Caterra
But its spiritual successor was cool, the XLR built on the Vette platform |

Today its a piece of a French connection.... a Citroën My Ami Buggy city thing. My Ami? Is that a play on Miami, or just a bit of Frenglish.
Anyway, quirky yes, but not sure quite what to say about it. Im sure its' Mother loves it. |

It looks like a Push Me - Pull You, as if it could go in either direction!

It's not a car - it's a quadricycle. [/PEDANT] The name comes from the Ami of the 60s/70s - and the My Ami variant would refer to the door-less buggy version. The push-me pull-you appearance comes from the fact it is built symmetrically both front/back and left/right for cost purposes, e.g the door panel is same on both sides (including hinges). |

And this one I saw yesterday might be cheaper but a close look told a feller that this is actually a nearly rust free rig. Rockers and bed were solid. Told the nice old man I'd take it off his hands right now! Said he hears that 10x a week! |
