I just got an email from the show “Rock my RV” that stars Brett Michaels from the band Poisin. If you haven’t seen it the show is pretty good. Well as good as a show about RV’s can be. Since I have been in Arizona all I have been hearing and seeing is about RV’s. We are actually thinking about renting one to get us and our stuff back to NYC, but I doubt we will since its super expensive for one way rentals.
Anyway this weeks episode of Rock my RV will be featuring a “Cadillac Themed” RV makeover (Whatever that is?). You may want to check it out. It is on the travel channel on Sunday night at 9pm EST. I will be watching. The email got me thinking about Cadillacs and RV’s. I was surprised when I did a google search for that term that I got so many results as Cadillac and RV’s are not something you hear about everyday.
It seems that a lot of people either cut up their Cadillacs to make an RV or there was a few coach builders back in the day that actually converted Cadillacs into an RV. This one is more of a camper but you will see what I mean. Like this one below that I found on the Hemmings blog. Big V-8 motor in there to help get up hills it sounds like the perfect combo.

Cadillac Won’t Be Making The Cadillac Ciel or ATS Convertible
I am sad to report that Cadillac has killed off the idea of making the Cadillac Ciel concept car that so many of us loved when we first reported it. I am guessing the car would be too expensive and put it way out of the price range of the common people. When I first saw it I fell in love with it as most did here in the club. Will the Ciel come back as something else like the Converj did? We can only hope so.
In the same announcement we also found out that Cadillac won’t be building the ATS into a convertible either. This is something that I am personally sad about. I am still holding out hope that they may change their mind as the years go by. If they don’t do it I may have to make one myself.
I don’t see how Cadillac expects to be competitive by killing off all the concept cars we were hoping to see in production. First, they teased us with the Sixteen, only to kill that off, and now this! I did read that Cadillac is opting instead to build an ultra premium flagship for the very near future. I believe they indicated it was slated for the 2015 model year. I can’t wait to see the first pictures.
I only hope it is as exciting as the Sixteen and the Ciel.
Man – why does Cadillac tease then let us down. That Ciel was amazing. An not having an ATS or CTS convertible is just plain silly.
I guess I will be keeping my ’84 Eldo Biarritz Conv a bit longer. So on goes BMW, Mercedes, VW, Saab, Lexus… being topless and having all the fun. 🙂
You really didn’t think a car with suicide doors would be made did you?
Well, Vinny, I think Cadillac should build a flagship sedan with suicide doors. They are very comfortable, and if Rolls Royce can build them and put an umbrella in the door, the so should Cadillac!
