Turn Your Cadillac CTS into a Convertible
The Cadillac CTS sedan has enjoyed a fair amount of success since it was launched last fall and this could well continue in the form of the top of the line 550hp CTS-V which will hit dealers later this year. Lets also not forget the coupe variant currently under development derived from the awesome CT Coupe concept.
But obviously the line up is missing an open top variant, this is where conversion specialists Coach Builders Ltd come in with their version of the CTS Convertible. The design has just been completed and orders are now being taken at a whopping $19,000.
The convertible kit does not have a roll bar and features an acrylic polyester cloth hydraulic top in a number of colors, a padded roof and exterior fabric for sound and temperature insulation, it takes about eight weeks to complete.
You just know someone is going to make a CTS-V convertible and it will snap in half
haha it would nd its not as attractive... the next big thing 4 door drop tops?? lol ew!!
Ltd. in the US? Looks like an april's fool joke + cheap photoshop, and if it happens to be real, even worse! The top is hanging off like one of these self-made-on-weekends shoddy conversions on a totalled beetle, not to mention the disastrous stiffness levels amplified by those vulgar 19-20" rims!
how can you made a car even worst than its from factory...look at this jajajaja
nooooo y would u buy a good lookin car and thn do this to it!?! this is horrid! IF ANYONE OWNES A CTS DONT DO THIS!!!
i didn't even knew...this company is making convertibles from diffrent 4 door caddis and even from the 300c. OMG!
wow, it always amazes me the number of people who have negative things to say about articles as compared to those who have positive or at least neutral comments.
Now i'd say what i have to say is just about neutral: first off, if you're gonna put noce chrome wheels on anything, at least make them "21's (seriously, we're almost a decade pat the year 2000); second, I think they did a good job on the top, I also like how they will (as any conversion company should) offer a variety of color options for it. So maybe they could have tried packaging the folded top better, but by no means does it look "bad" or of extremely low quality. Last, I think it would help if they stiffened it up a bit and made the A-pillar/windshield support stronger as well. Overall, for probably the first conversion to be done on the brand new CTS, I feel they did just fine. Now we get to see them and/or their competition (maybe even Cadillac) start to develop and compete to make better ones. :)
It's romantic! 4-door, 4-passenger and open car! really nice, but the cost is... -_-a I think it's too expensive, yeah right it's nice but expensive!
I like the look but it should be a two door. The CTS is a beautiful car
how stiff is a chassis of a 4 door convertible?
