The other was called ‘Le Monstre,’ which roughly translates to “The Monster”—and for a good reason! It had a jaw-dropping, aerodynamic design that made other Cadillacs look like clunky boxes on wheels. It was like Frankenstein’s monster but with a Cadillac twist.

It was so futuristic that it had a 325-hp V8 engine, air suspension, and twin radars at the front to help you detect the cops, err… we mean obstacles ahead. Unfortunately, it was the last concept car created under Harley Earl, the mastermind behind many of GM’s iconic designs.

The car was so ahead of its time that it had features like hands-free calling, a navigation system, and a rear-view camera before they even existed! These designers had some serious foresight.
