"There is authentic craftsmanship in the way the exterior and interior elements meld, much like vintage," said Gael Buzyn, Cadillac's Interior Design Manager. "This car is romantic, not only in form, but the materials - nothing smells as good as wood and leather. Fused together to feel valuable luxury without compromise." he said. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CADILLAC | DAPURPACU]
