While all vintage Cadillacs hold a special allure, the 1959 Cadillac stands out as a great example of automotive grandeur in the era of big iron. It wasn't the tailfins that reached for the heavens- those were reduced to vestigial folds by 1961. The '59 Cadillac unveiled the slab-sided designs that would dominate the next four decades of Cadillac history. Looking back, you can see why the 1959 Cadillac was either the first modern iteration or the final model worth a second look. This beautiful example of the 1959 Cadillac Coupe Deville is definitely a looker that will turn heads wherever it cruises. Having made memories worth 118,000 miles, this Deville currently resides in Idaho for its next lucky owner.
The most noteworthy feature of this 1959 Cadillac Coupe Deville is probably the preservation of its original Forest Green paint—a rich hue that has gracefully endured the passage of time. Adorned with a regal display of chrome that traces its contours, the car's exterior is a brilliant work of art. The pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the massive tail fins that are embellished with twin bullet taillights. The removable rear fender skirts, a nod to the imposing styling of the late 1950s, not only maintain the intended body lines but also offer a practical touch by facilitating hassle-free removal of the rear wheels. Speaking of wheels, the vintage charm continues with classic whitewall tires wrapped around them. The interior has a light green theme, and the back seats are reportedly reupholstered. Both front and rear boast retractable elbow rests. The dash, bedecked in chrome, houses a vintage horizontal speedometer, classic radio, and Cadillac emblem. The two-tone steering wheel flaunting a dash of chrome takes center stage in this cabin.
As you pop the lengthy hood of this 1959 Cadillac Coupe Deville, a formidable 390ci V8, flexing an impressive 325 horsepower and a torque output of 430 pound-feet, comes into view. Paired with an automatic transmission, it is the perfect art piece on wheels for Sunday cruising. Recent maintenance reports from the current owner include a new generator, an oil change, and the installation of a fresh muffler.
Late 50s Chevys and mid 60s Cadillacs have always been popular candidates for restomod projects. However, not all of them are tastefully done like this fully restored 1965 Cadillac de Ville convertible restomod. 1965 was the first model year for the 3rd generation De Ville. It retained the same wheelbase as its predecessor, but the frame was a new perimeter frame (rather than the old X frame). The horizontal headlamp arrangement that had been standard since the late 50s was dropped in favor of a vertical arrangement, which also resulted in a wider grille. Gone were the softer lines of the old car, replaced by a sharper, more boxy design. The tailfins that had started shrinking since 1960 were now lower and slanted slightly downwards rather than slightly upwards. The new straight lines in its design make this car just as good looking with the top down as it does with the top up.
The Cadillac De Ville was introduced in 1958, as a full-size luxury car from America’s top luxury automaker at the time. De Ville means “of the town” in French, meaning that Cadillac intended the De Ville to be the talk of the town. The first generation is the most popular, naturally, thanks to its iconic shape and rear fins. In 1961, the second generation was introduced, with fresh styling and more body styles. Buyers could now pick from a four-door hardtop with four or six windows, a 2-door hardtop, or a 2-door convertible. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a De Ville, check out this 56,435-mile 1964 Cadillac De Ville Sedan that’s up for sale right now. The current owner reports it to have been restored, hence its pristine appearance.
The De Ville name was first introduced as a standalone model range in 1959 and would remain a significant part of the Cadillac lineup up till 2005. The 4th generation came in 1971, and every subsequent year brought styling changes until the smaller 5th generation was released in 1977. 1974 brought changes to the front end (like a new grille and a new headlamp layout), and the introduction of a new option; the Air Cushion Restraint System (what is now known as airbags) for both front-seat occupants. It was, however, a costly option that didn’t prove popular among buyers and was discontinued after 1976. A 1971 Coupe De Ville reportedly came 3rd in the Cannonball Run, averaging 84.6mph and 8.9mpg.
In 2003, Cadillac released a luxurious two-door roadster with plenty of features and a high specification. It was meant to be a modern iteration of the personal luxury car segment, and Cadillac based it on the Chevrolet Corvette of the period, although you’d never know unless told. The XLR was made until 2009, and only 15,460 units were produced during this run. Nevertheless, it was the first Cadillac with adaptive cruise control and seats that offered both heating and cooling capabilities. Today, the XLR stands as not just a curio, but a fine modern car that will no doubt evolve into a classic in a decade or so. That’s why you’d be smart to pick up this 9,868-mile 2006 Cadillac XLR that currently resides in Placentia, California. Get your hands on it before the crowd starts clamoring.
This fully restored 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz is a prime example of luxury and elegance from the pinnacle of 1980s American automotive design. With only 53,000 original miles, this stunning coupe offers both pristine condition and authenticity. Powered by Cadillac’s refined 4.1L V8 engine and finished in an eye-catching red exterior over an equally luxurious red interior, it effortlessly blends vintage charm with modern touches such as Bluetooth radio connectivity.
The Cadillac Eldorado was the flagship offering of Cadillac, America’s most famous luxury automaker to this day. Made over twelve generations, the Eldorado’s production run started in 1953 and finally bid adieu to the world in 2002. Envisioned to be a two-door personal luxury car, the Eldorado is widely popularized as the vehicle that resulted in the coining of the term “Land Yacht”. Just cast your eyes upon this 31,898-mile, ninth generation 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible and you’ll see why. Stretching at over 224 inches long and taking up almost 80 inches of road width, it’s truly an imposing, hulking beast. Its engine is no less impressive, because Cadillac’s answer to the stranglehold of the Malaise Era was to simply upsize the cubic inch capacity to commercial vehicle level numbers. Now, you can have your very own Land Yacht, as this reportedly all-original car is up for sale in Topanga, California.
The Mercedes-Benz R107-generation SL is undoubtedly one of the most beloved and popular models that the Three-Pointed Star has ever made. Produced for 18 years, this era of SL is the second-longest generation Mercedes has ever made, second only to the equally iconic G-Wagen. And it’s not hard to see why: timeless looks coupled with incredible performance and luxury cemented it as one of the best roadsters money could buy. Our featured car is a 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, featuring a large-displacement V8 under the hood. This car is located in Frisco, Texas, and has a reported over 141,000 miles on the clock.
The Catalina nameplate in Pontiac nomenclature initially represented a top-level trim for the existing Chieftain Eight and DeLuxe Eight models. However, as we’ve seen many times before with American manufacturers, trim levels have been spun off as separate models. For the Catalina, this happened in 1959, offered as a two-door coupe, convertible, four-door sedan and station wagon. Today, the Catalina may not be at the top of every classic car collector’s list because not everyone remembers it, but it’s definitely an appealing choice for someone who wants to diverge from the crowd. This particular 1964 Pontiac Catalina is a four-door sedan hailing from Ballston Spa, New York, and comes with the original spare tire plus original bill of sale and even the original manual. Having traveled 77,421 miles so far, it’s ready for a new owner who will look after it and cherish it as it deserves. If that’s you, get in touch with us ASAP.
When people say “Classic Corvette”, the image of the second generation immediately springs to mind. Made between 1963 and 1967, this was the generation where the famed Stingray badge came to be, plus pop-up headlamps, the boat-tail rear, the twin-cowled dashboard, and many other signature Corvette features. Today, we’ve got a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible from Hudson, Florida for your consideration. This car has got some new parts on it, making it a fine driving classic and a car that can be used on a regular basis too. Because let’s face it, why would you buy a classic Corvette if you don’t want to take it out on the roads?
