Well, I must confess, my car didn’t go that fast under its own power. It’s a 1989 Allante. They were all transported from Detroit to the Pininfafina plant in Italy and back in specially prepared Boeing 747 planes. Here’s a summary…

Three special Boeing 747 aircrafts were customized to hold 56 Allantés each. The Allantés had to be flown over the Atlantic Ocean twice. The 747's left Detroit with Eldorado chassis halves, instruments, air conditioning, steering column, and most of the electronics. When the parts arrived at the Pininfarina plant, they cut and welded the two sub chassis together, installed the bodies and interior, painted them. The cars were then attached to special carrier racks, loaded into the planes, and flown back to the Hamtramck Detroit assembly plant. In Detroit Cadillac installed the front and rear sub frames, suspension, drive train, steering box, brakes, fuel tank, wheels and the tires. Final system tests were run on the Bosch III ABS braking system, and each car was test driven for 25 miles. This entire process was called the "Allanté Air Bridge", and has also been referred to as "The world's longest assembly line".
