Vehicle Description
This 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible is a beautifully restored
'59 Cadillac Convertible and comes to us from the hand of a long
term west coast collector. With their massive tail fins with dual
bullet taillights, few American cars are more recognizable than the
iconic 1959 Cadillac Convertibles. In 1959, Cadillac's design was
truly glamorous, and made a statement that the owner of a '59
Cadillac exemplified these traits. The bullet-style front grilles
sat between dual headlights on both sides and gave the car a
jewel-like appearance. The high tailfins with dual bullet
taillights, along with the faux grille at the rear, add to the
elevated and luxurious appearance of the 1959 Cadillacs. In 1959,
Cadillac offered two distinct convertibles with its top-of-the-line
Eldorado Biarritz and the entry-level Series 62. Being that the
Series 62 Convertibles were comparatively more affordable with an
MSRP of $5,455 they outsold the Biarritz by nearly tenfold. Of the
nearly 71,000 Series 62 Cadillacs produced in 1959, only 11,130
were the convertible model which made up about 15% of the total
production. Under the hood on this 1959 Cadillac is a 390 Cubic
Inch V8 engine paired with a single 4 barrel carburetor that pushed
out 325 horsepower in its day. The NOM 390 V8 is backed by a
Hydra-Matic Automatic Transmission which makes this iconic Cadillac
a car that anybody can take for a spin around the block. Being that
this convertible is indeed a Cadillac, it is loaded with many
desirable options! With power brakes bringing this 4,800+ pound
cruiser to a full stop is made much easier and improves the overall
driving experience. This 1959 Series 62 is also equipped with power
steering which makes maneuvering this Convertible in and out of
tight spaces at the local car show or drive-in a total breeze. The
white vinyl power convertible top is in wonderful condition as well
and goes up and down with ease with the simple flick of a switch.
Riding on a set of wide whitewall tires with full Cadillac wheel
covers, this 1959 Cadillac has an iconic 50s look. The chrome and
brightwork around the exterior of this Cadillac Convertible is in
fantastic shape as well and shows particularly well. Refinished
correctly in Ebony Black, this 1959 Series 62 look just like it did
when it rolled out of the factory back in 1959. The interior on
this '59 Cadillac is absolutely stunning! The front bench seat and
rear bench seat have been reupholstered in beautiful red leather
that provides a nice contrast to exterior look of the car. The
dash, door panels, carpeting and steering wheel are all in
wonderful shape as well and appear to be in their stock
configuration. The dash is equipped with a 120 MPH speedometer,
temperature gauge, fuel gauge, clock, and push-button AM radio.
