Has Cadillac made a new classic? GM's top-of-the-line brand unveiled a new convertible concept that's a new take on how America's old money should roll.
Cadillac Ciel--rear
The Ciel is a convertible touring sedan with contemporary retro styling that's a throwback to the old days when Cadillac's land yachts ruled the country club lots.
Cadillac Ciel--on the road
The touring convertible sedan's design is inspired by long, open-air drives and scenery along the California coastline.

Not exactly a fuel sipper, the four-seater is a hybrid powered by a 425-horsepower 3.6L V-6 engine with twin turbochargers, and its lithium ion battery can propel the vehicle at low speeds.

The Ciel has a wheelbase that's 12 inches longer than that of the Cadillac CTS, and at 203.7 inches, it is an inch longer than the Escalade.
It rides on 22-inch brushed-nickel-plated wheels and features carbon ceramic brakes.
Cadillac Ciel--carriage doors
Carriage doors make for a dramatic entry, and the absence of a B pillar should make it easy to get in and out of the sedan.
Cadillac Ciel--interior
The wood in the Ciel was taken from a single fallen Italian olive tree in the grove of a West Coast olive oil producer.

Like the Volt, the Ciel integrates Powermat's inductive charging pad in the vehicle to wirelessly charge mobile devices.
Cadillac Ciel--side view
The Ciel seats only four (preferably adults) in this high-end ride.
The rear center console contains a small humidor, and a leather tab in the seat back pulls out a cashmere blanket that passengers can use to warm themselves during chilly drives.

The Cadillac Ciel was displayed along with vintage Cadillac Eldorados brought to Pebble Beach by collectors.
