Comments
Where & when is the Elderado Model or Escala Model being released ??
Never! They were designed by Cadillac’s former advertising agency if you can believe that! Cadillac designers would leave the company if they produced either models!
Les – the Escala is a concept car that will influence the design direction of future Cadillac models.
As for Eldorado — that’s not happening, nor was it ever. I’d recommend looking at the ATS Coupe.
