In some years it was a trim option, while others it received unique sheetmetal, as it did the first year. Rather than in previous years where it was based on the full-size Cadillac, the was its own separate model, available only as a two-door hardtop coupe. The chassis was in development for years.

At the very least, it was a woeful misinterpretation of the idea that competition improves the breed, and the story of who approved this needs to be revealed. Automotive Histories and Misc.
