Cadillac Allante Gets Flying Start

Abstract

UNTIL now, there has never been anything like it in the history of automobile manufacturing and commercial aviation: as of fall 1986, bodies for a new Cadillac model will be built in Italy, then flown to the United States where the cars will go through final assembly and are made ready for distribution. Lufthansa German Airlines is involved in this unusual concept in logistics. This new undertaking is one reason it acquired its third Boeing 747 freighter.
