The 1959 Cadillac is a defining icon of its era, renowned for its massive shark-like tailfins—the largest vertical tailfins ever on a production car. The space-race-fever-driven styling of the late 50s, inspired by designers like Chrysler’s Virgil Exner and GM’s Harley Earl, peaked in 1958-1960, with the 1959 Cadillacs standing out as the most iconic. Offered in 12 different trim levels and body styles, from the Sixty-Two series to the Fleetwoods and the Eldorados, the De Villes represented the mid-range trim, available as a coupe, a six-window sedan, and this four-window sedan. This particular Cadillac, known as the “flat top” due to its roof overhang and four electric side windows, weighs 5000 lbs (2.3 tons), measures 225 inches in length with a 130-inch wheelbase, and is 80.2 inches wide. With just over 78,000 original miles, it is completely original and in very good shape, having been lovingly maintained by its third owner for over 35 years. The car was driven directly from Detroit to California upon purchase and has always been garaged. It exemplifies the 1950s extravagance with better options and features than the Sixty-Twos, without the massive price tag of the Fleetwoods.
The 1959 Cadillac Sedan DeVille is known for its unique styling, featuring a flat-top and a massive wraparound rear window. This series 6200 model, completely original and non-refurbished, sports its factory Jet Black paint, which accentuates the chrome details. Despite being nearly 65 years old, the original black-and-white interior is in remarkably good shape, with no major wear-and-tear. The 4-window sedan, with its distinctive "flat top" look and massive tailfins tipped with dual "bullet" taillights, is a head-turner. The body and floors are straight and solid, with no structural rust or known accidents. The chrome and stainless are in very good condition, and the removable rear wheel fender covers are functional. The car has a few superficial dings and some small scratches on the top and hood. All the glass is intact and in good condition, with no cracks. Inside, the original black cloth and white naugahyde bench seats are in excellent condition, except for the driver's section of the front seat, which needs new springs. The headliner has some stains, but the original dash, instrument panel, and steering wheel are without cracks and fully functional. The car retains its original radio and power antenna (though the antenna is not working), and all four power windows and hand-operated wing windows are operational. The glove box and ashtrays open and close normally, and the large trunk retains its original lining and maintenance manuals, including a spare tire and jack assembly.
The 1959 Cadillac's were powered by a 390ci V8 (rated for 325hp in the DeVille) connected to a 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. The engine bay of this Cadillac is original with the standard four-barrel carburetor. The 3.21:1 rear axle ratio made highway cruising a breeze. This particular vehicle has just over 78,000 original miles, and the owner believes the engine, transmission, and drivetrain are all original with no known rebuilds. The car starts easily and runs well, with power steering and power brakes as standard features. A recent tune-up included new spark plugs, wires, a compression test, and a new battery. The car has an auxiliary electric fan installed in front of the radiator to keep the engine cool during parades and shows. The exhaust is in good condition, and the car drives smoothly with plenty of tread left on the whitewall tires. This relatively rare, completely original, and very sharp flat-top Cadillac is thus being sold as is, preserving the essence of 1950s automotive glitz and glamour.

The Cadillac de Ville series is a full-size luxury car from Cadillac, made between 1958 and 2005 across eight generations. The term de Ville means “of the town”, indicating that Cadillac intended the model to become the talk of the town, literally. Offered in sedan, coupe and convertible forms, early generations are renowned for their flamboyant styling. Take this second generation 1963 Cadillac Coupe de Ville as a prime example. With a 390 under the hood and a lovely Nevada Silver paint job, this machine awaits a new owner in Santa Rosa, California. Grab it while you can because cars like this don’t stay on the market for long.
The 1966 Cadillac DeVille captured the essence of mid-1960s American luxury with its bold design, powerful V8, and emphasis on comfort and presence. This particular example has been tastefully customized while retaining its classic Cadillac character. Finished in a striking black-and-silver vinyl wrap over a black and gray interior, it is powered by the factory 429ci V8 paired to a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. Showing 93,071 miles, this DeVille combines period elegance with modern flair thanks to a lowered stance and polished 20-inch wheels.
Cadillac’s de Ville series, which roughly translates to ‘of the town’ represented coupes and convertibles from Cadillac’s full-size luxury car line-up. This nameplate was seen across eight generations, between 1959 and 2005. Early generations, such as the third, which this 1966 Cadillac deVille Convertible Restomod belongs to, are widely considered to be a great way to experience Sixties Cadillac motoring. This particular car comes from Lake George, New York, and has received a thorough mechanical upgrade package, plus some cosmetic enhancements. So, as the name suggests, it’s a restomod for those who appreciate the tasteful combination of classic and modern elements. If that sounds like you, get in touch with us and take this beauty home, pronto.

Based on a Corvette although you’d never guess by merely looking at it, the Cadillac XLR was a two-door luxury grand tourer made between 2003 and 2009. It came with a Northstar V8 under the hood, a power-retractable roof, an instrument cluster designed Bulgari, and all the luxury trappings you’d expect for something from Cadillac. While sales were modest, with just over 15,400 units sold during its time, the XLR is now becoming a future classic of sorts. It’s modern enough to drive in 2025, yet has that sort of lasting aura that ensures it will be around even in two or three decades time if maintained correctly. So, we’ve got a 2007 Cadillac XLR-V for sale from Andalusia, Alabama if you feel that an XLR belongs in your life. This particular car is particularly appealing because of its mileage of just 24,000!
Cadillac’s full-size luxury sedan for twenty years, the Fleetwood served as the pinnacle offering from this iconic American luxury automaker between 1976 and 1996. The actual origins of Fleetwood are hazy, as it was used as a trim line on other Cadillacs since 1935, since Fleetwood was actually a coachbuilder who built bodies for automakers, most notably, Cadillac. The first proper Fleetwood model was actually front-wheel drive, with the second generation switching to rear-wheel drive. However, the Fleetwood Brougham remained rear-wheel drive, as is this 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham from Ford Collins, Colorado. The car has got a 307 under the hood, and just over 25,000 miles on the clock.
Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.
Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!
Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
