Built on the production Cadillac Cimarron platform, this concept design featured two cockpits, exotic built-in electronics, televisions for both front and rear consoles, and a cellular telephone controlled from a fixed-hub steering wheel "hands-free" talking. When press photos were taken, Cadillac displayed the Cimarron concept alongside the 1931 Cadillac Fleetwood, from which its two-windshield design was inspired. The two unique Cadillacs shared a striking design element but demonstrated the dramatic advances of more than fifty years of innovative automotive engineering in every other aspect.
The Cimarron concept had a 106.2-inch wheelbase, a 3,380-pound weight, a transverse-mounted 2.8-liter multi-port fuel-injected V6 engine, and televisions for both front and rear passengers. Among the other novelties featured in the two-cockpit Cimarron were telephones and electronic display panels telling both the front and rear passengers the engine's status and all of its functioning parts.
