2004 XLR VIN 000001

Just Thought I would share...got the chance to be at the GM Heritage Center the last couple of days and they had the 2004 XLR VIN 000001 on display right next to the 1999 Evoq concept car used as its basis. It is truly amazing how close the XLR was to the concept, almost all of the dimensions and styling cues were drawn directly from the Evoq. One thing...the registry has VIN 1 listed as an Ebony interior, but the car is Black/Cashmere.

Sorry - Don't know why the pics came out rotated and I am not sure how to correct them...

Yeah I have a bunch more pics I will post once I figure out how to make them come out upright.

Both were on display at what used to be Martin Cadillac in Bowling Green in 2007 @ Rendezvous II. The dealership and Cadillac sponsored a lunch for us all when we were there. The next year (2008) at Rendezvous III Cadillac showed us the new 2009's just as production was starting. They had five or six on display; oddly enough some with the chrome fender vents and some without. In the long run, they decided on the fender vents.
