I find custom show cars fascinating. Rarely do the production models have anything in common with these dream cars. This one in particular is interesting to me because it was made during a particularly boring team for Cadillac. Behold the 1988 Cadillac Voyage concept.
I like the cameras in the dash but is that a CB radio?
Love concept cars. Check out the post I just made about the 1964 Pontiac Banshee.

According to AI, these are the production features derived from the Voyage:
Key Features That Reached Production:Northstar V8 Engine: The Voyage debuted a 4.5-liter, 32-valve, dual-overhead camshaft (DOHC) V8, which was refined into the 4.6L Northstar V8 used in the 1993 Allante and Seville STS.Adaptive All-Wheel Drive: The concept’s computer-controlled AWD system, which automatically engaged when rear-wheel slippage was detected, became a staple in later Cadillac luxury sedans.
Electronic Instrumention/Navigation: While simple by today's standards, the dashboard-mounted monitors showing navigation and car data foreshadowed modern infotainment systems.High-Tech Seats: The 20-way (some reports suggest 28-way) pneumatic and mechanical adjustment seats with memory functions were premonitions of later luxury power seats.LED
Lighting: The use of LED tail lamps and light strips in the rear, hidden under dark plastic, became standard in the luxury industry years later.Styling Cues: The sleek, aerodynamic design and specific styling cues (especially the grille and C-pillar treatment) directly influenced the 1992 Seville and later Eldorado models.
