I would loooooove if a Cadillac Ciel convertible from Pebble Beach 2011 came out, with the suicide doors, no touchscreens, etc. Who’s with me?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Ciel

The brands don’t often listen to their customers, all of whom clamored for this car ever since it was shown. It only appeared in the “Entourage” movie and it’s a beaut. Nary a single bad review on the entire Internet, but tons of people begging Chrysler to release it and sites devoted to pretending it came out.

Car guys — what is the closest car one can get to this today, in all of human history? Go to Cuba and get some gas-guzzling illegal convertible with tailfins?

And please — no recordings of our conversations and sex in the car so they can send it off to others!

Maybe not Cuba, but there's a new car restoration series whichever streaming platform, I can't keep up, that's located in El Paso, TX. They go across the border and buy older cars, then import into the US.

Just now, I have found the closest I could find: https://megaevluxury.com/rolls-royce-ghost-convertible/

Anything like this but cheaper?
