Peal white/black (possibly charcoal, whatever you guys call it). jono6406 12-12-07, 05:48 PM hey STAR, start SCREAMING 5000 times because at 21 you are still to young to drive your dads allante so tell him to keep it away from you.when you turn 25 you must apply here and get approval from all members at large so be good and dream a little while longer and before you know it you will be driving one mean machine.LOL:tisk: starscream5000 12-12-07, 06:28 PM It's actually a weak car. I drive cars for power and performance, not luxury. Maybe when I'm as old as some of you fogies I'll settle down and get a caddy, lol.
Riddle me this, why do you assume that since I'm 21 I'm not able to drive a FWD V8?? :halo: wcoates 12-13-07, 07:10 PM As posted on another site!
I do want to thank jono6406 for getting me to remember the horrors of working in GM financial as I updated these worthless statistics. Remember that this was done with arthritic fingers and horrible eyesight. And these numbers are subject to audit ( another whole thread could be a definition of auditor). So drumroll please! As originally compiled on June 2nd 2006, of every one on this other site, who posted at least once, and posted their birthday and assuming that they owned an Allante, THE AVERAGE AGE WAS 55.7.
damned if it isn't just like a GM accountant to take something fun and break it down to worthless numbers.

stealth's age is a mystery and has been left out of the following statistical analysis. . Stealth's age has been left out 'cause the review committee thinks he has boxer shorts older than the 18 years posted.

Drove a twin pearl white 88 on my honeymoon when the car was new! 8 years ago I found a virtual twin 88 white one locally and drove it for almost 3 years. I sold it because it was very low mileage and spotless and I was afraid to expose it!! A month ago I found the 91 gold one with over 100,000 miles in very good condition. Now I have no problem driving the hell out of it. And, oh, I'm 60.

Bill,
I think you got it backwards Bill .. There is no way I can even come close to matching what you
have provided for the various Cadillac and Allante communities.
But, you are on! Looking forward to it.
Although she has yet to get a beauty treatment, I may bring the triple black out of the cave!
. murkywaters718 04-10-08, 07:39 PM 91 Black on black, got it in march 2008, 21 yrs old, love the car, got it to replace my 93 bmw 325i conv Faded Crest 04-11-08, 03:58 AM 1989 Black, w/saddle interior... I'm 36 yrs old. I remember in 1987, my friend's mom & dad bought a brand new Allante. They boasted that it was the 2nd or 3rd one to be sold in New England, 8th ever sold (if memory serves). It was Silver with Burgandy interior. How radical, especially then. Always remembered and admired those cars, and finally nabbed one! G.A.R.Y. 04-12-08, 01:45 PM Murky and faded, Thanks for chiming in. Any way you guys can post pics of your allantes? Not much better then a black allante IMHO. Stealth 04-12-08, 02:18 PM 91 Black on black, got it in march 2008, 21 yrs old, love the car, got it to replace my 93 bmw 325i conv
Every Allante is OEM three tones ..
- exterior
- seats, carpets, lower door panels
- dash, upper door panels, top cover
Every OEM Allante has a mat-black exterior valance, regardless of paint color. We dont even count that one.
So, we proudly call one like yours TRIPLE BLACK.
MY '92 is a Triple Black,
my '88 is a Black Ext / Tan-Saddle Interior with Brown.
They both have RED accent stripes.
one has RED stripe tail lights.
one has BLACK stripe tail lights.
