That’s one way to get to the head of the line! The good way.
The rights to the first Cadillac Escalade IQ (VIN 001) were auctioned for charity at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Fall event on Saturday for $550,000.
The entire price paid was earmarked for the Detroit Children’s Fund to support educational programs in General Motors’ hometown.
The all-electric SUV is set to go on sale in the coming weeks at starting prices ranging from $130,000 to $150,000.
