"This 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible is an eye-catching, well-optioned '59 Cadillac Convertible with iconic style and supreme luxury. In more than a century of American automotive history, few vehicles are as instantly recognizable as the 1959 Cadillac. With its dramatic tailfins, futuristic styling, and unmistakable luxury, the 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible has become one of the most iconic cars ever produced during the golden age of Detroit. While some critics initially thought the design was excessive when new, the '59 Cadillac is now widely celebrated as a defining symbol of late-1950s American automobile design. Although Cadillac retained its signature luxury styling, the 1959 models also marked something of a transitional moment for the brand as designers began moving toward the cleaner aesthetic that would define Cadillac in the 1960s. Up front, the long-running ""Dagmar"" bumper bullets were replaced with a redesigned front bumper that incorporated oval-shaped pods housing the driving lights and turn signals. This updated design gave the front end a sleeker, more integrated appearance. Above the bumper sat a striking bullet-style grille stretching between Cadillac's signature dual headlights, maintaining the classic Cadillac egg-crate influence while presenting a more modern look. The hood was extended toward the tops of the front fenders and aligned with the elegant chrome trim running down the beltline. However, the most dramatic styling element appeared along the sides and rear. The 1959 Cadillac's massive rear tailfins dominated the quarter panels, creating one of the most recognizable silhouettes in automotive history. Mounted within each fin were distinctive bullet-style taillights, while a decorative rear grille between the fins echoed the bullet motif found on the front of the car. Inside, the 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible offered the luxury expected from America's premier luxury brand. Plush upholstery, elegant trim, and an ornate yet modern dashboard created a comfortable and sophisticated cabin. Cadillac also offered an impressive array of advanced options for the era, reinforcing the marque's reputation for innovation and prestige. For buyers seeking open-air luxury, the Series 62 Convertible served as Cadillac's entry-level convertible in 1959. While less expensive than the flagship Eldorado Biarritz, it delivered the same unmistakable styling and prestige. As a result, the Series 62 Convertible proved far more popular, outselling the Biarritz by nearly ten-to-one that year. Today, the 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible remains one of the most celebrated and collectible classic Cadillacs ever built. This particular Series 62 comes to us most recently from Texas, where it was maintained and cared-for. Powering this '59 Cadillac is a Numbers Matching 390 Cubic Inch V8 engine fed by a single 4 barrel carburetor that together were said to have produced 325 horsepower when new. This Cadillac's 390 V8 is mated to a Hydra-Matic Automatic Transmission that makes this luxurious cruising Convertible an easy car for anybody to drive. Exhaust exits the numbers matching power plant via a dual exhaust setup that produces a terrific throaty rumble out of the rear tailpipes. Like all Cadillacs of the time, this particular '59 Convertible comes absolutely loaded with features! With power brakes, bringing this Series 62 to a complete stop feels almost effortless and the overall driving experience is much improved. Power steering is another wonderful creature comfort found on this classic Cadillac since it makes squeezing into a parking spot the local drive-in or car show a total breeze. The Ivory vinyl power convertible top is raised and lowered with ease, all with the simple flick of a switch. Additionally, when the top is down (as it should be 99% of the time) it tucks neatly below a brand new matching convertible top boot for a neater, more streamlined look during open cruising. Riding on a set of wide whitewall tires mounted on steel wheels, each accented with a full Cadillac wheel cover, this 1959 Cadillac Convertible has a truly upscale look whether you're showing off at the local car show or cruising down the road. Furthermore, the rear wheels are tucked neatly behind a set of removable fender skirts for an even ritzier look. The body of this Cadillac has been recently refinished in a striking Elvis-inspired Flamingo Pink paint that completes the exterior look of this Series 62 Convertible. The recently refreshed interior of this 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible is dazzling! The front and rear bench seats have been recently reupholstered in Ivory Leather that complements the overall look of the car. Like the drivetrain, the interior is superbly well-appointed with features! The front seat is equipped with a folding center armrest for improved comfort and is even equipped with 6-way power adjustable capabilities so that anybody can feel comfortable piloting this beauty. All 4 power windows are raised and lowered with ease, all controlled by a set of switches. Rear-seated passengers are also treated with a personal ash tray and cigar lighter should they wish to use them. Another interesting option found on this '59 Cadillac is the unique Autronic Eye that would automatically dim the high-beam headlights in oncoming nighttime traffic. The brand new black carpeting, brand new Cadillac Crest embroidered floor mats, recently refinished padded dash, and refurbished steering wheel are all in fantastic shape as well and all remain in their stock configuration. The instrument cluster is outfitted with a 120 MPH speedometer, temperature gauge, and fuel gauge, along with a clock as well as heater and defroster controls, ventilation controls, and lighting controls. The dash is finished off with a pair of ash trays and cigar lighters, a locking glovebox, and push-button AM radio that complete the luxurious interior of this iconic automobile. Whether you're buying your very first classic car or you're adding another to your existing collection, this 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible would make a wonderful choice.
