First Retail Cadillac CT6 On the Road

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.––Earlier this spring, in April, the first retail production Cadillac CT6 was auctioned off at the 13th Annual Barrett-Jackson Auction. The auction took place in Palm Beach, Florida to benefit the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute. The lucky top bidder? Ohio Dealer, David Flynn. He is now the proud owner of the first retail Cadillac CT6 on the road.

David Flynn, hailing from Columbiana, Ohio is a dealer and spent a pretty penny on the new 2016 Cadillac CT6; $200,000 to be exact. Although it was a seemingly hefty price, the money will go to the wonderful Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute located in Detroit, to which GM has a long-standing and successful relationship. In fact, the GM Foundation has donated $500,000 directly to support cancer research at Karmanos. There is even a floor at the Institute names GM Foundation Cancer Research Floor.

Before the auction to benefit the Barbara Ann Karmanos Insitute, David Flynn and his family got to visit the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant or D-Ham in mid February where the first 2016 Cadillac CT6 rolled off the line just days before. Flynn and family got to meet the CT6 launch team, tour the CT6 Body Shop and General Assembly, got to experience a dynamic vehicle test, meet the CT6 designers, and even take home a sketch autographed by the design team. Flynn's three children will someday enter into his dealership business, while one might get handed down this CT6 in the future.

This first retail Cadillac CT6 has the ever important 001VIN. When the CT6s with higher VINs arrive to dealerships and to the road, you'll want to check it out for a variety of reasons. The exterior has classic Cadillac styling, but is impossible to ignore because of its low stance, vertical light systems, strong lines, and concierge lighting. The interior has been designed for superior comfort and convenience with exquisite materials, extended seats, a Bose Panaray sound system, a wireless phone charging slot, rear infotainment, and rear camera mirror. Not to mention its 3.0L V-6 Turbo engine, which turns out 404-hp for easy acceleration and response.
