1959 Cadillacs are extraordinary cars. They represent the most outrageous example of ’50s styling, with sweeping fins that even Chrysler couldn’t top. The design looked best on convertibles, and a record 11,130 Series 6200 convertibles were sold in 1959. Under the hood, the new 390 cubic inch V-8 proved reasonably efficient and quite durable. All Cadillac 62s came with power steering and brakes, with the convertibles having power seats, power windows and a power top.

Like most extreme designs, people loved them or hated them, and the survival rate was low until they became icons of a past era. As such, they are increasingly rare in today’s market and highly sought after. The 1959 Cadillac is the epitome of radical 1950s American styling.

This Cadillac has been the subject of an expertly executed restoration commissioned by the current owner who has owned the car for over 20 years. New white leather interior has been installed replacing the red and white seats, giving the interior a much cleaner look. Among the features, besides the generous Cadillac standards, are air conditioning, radio with rear speaker, fender skirts and intricately detailed front and rear grilles. Overall, this Cadillac presents as virtually new and is arguably one of the best that is currently available. The white paint, white leather seats, red carpets and chrome all present extremely well. Currently the car has wire wheels, but the factory correct wheels are included in the sale.
