Cadillac is well-known for producing some of the most opulent and prominent full-size luxury cars of the ’50s and ’60s. These quintessentially American machines were instrumental in bringing about the term Land Yacht. The Series 62 nameplate was made between 1940 and 1962 across seven generations. Yes, in those days, model cycles were quite short, sometimes as short as two years. This 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan comes from the seventh generation of the Series 62, which was made only for 1959 and 1960 before the de Ville took over. With 98,000 miles on the odometer, this car has been fully restored and sports a fresh coat of paint as well. Hence, it’s a great classic car and a symbol of American automobilia to own and drive.
The iconic lines and sky-high rear fins of this 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan are symbolic of what made the ’50s a glorious era in American automotive culture. This car portrays all those elements in a red paint job, with a contrasting white roof. You’ll also note the faired-in rear wheels with removable wheel spats to aid tire changing. In those days, flat tires were far more common than nowadays since tire technology wasn’t as sophisticated. However, those days had glorious whitewall tires that added a sense of class and elegance, especially when paired with chrome hubcaps like on this car. Also, you can’t miss the rear taillamps, which are shaped like the flames that one may see exiting a rocket. This was a very space-age feature because America was obsessed with conquering space at the time. As a result, it wasn’t uncommon to find such aeronautical and aerospace-inspired features on cars. The interior of this 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan is a spacious affair with front and rear bench seats able to easily accommodate three full-size adults apiece. The front bench is a power-adjustable affair, as you’d expect from a luxury car. You’ll also find a heating and ventilation system with individual controls for left-hand side and right-hand side ventilation. This was probably the forerunner to today’s dual-zone climate control systems.
Sporting a massive 390ci V8 under the hood, this 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan was endowed with a reported factory power rating of 325 horsepower. This was channeled to the rear wheels via a 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic gearbox, which was a real innovation at a time when three-speed autos were the norm. Braking is provided by drums on all four wheels, which can be surprisingly potent, but remember that this is a classic car, and plan your moves accordingly.

Cadillac has proclaimed itself as “the standard of the world,” and when cars like this 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe DeVille come along, it’s not hard to see why. The elegantly designed Series 62 Coupe DeVille featured a restrained yet oh-so-sophisticated appearance that appealed to the well-heeled clientele that Cadillac was courting. In fact, the DeVille trim was the higher-end option package for the Series 62 Coupe. In post-war America, a Cadillac was the car you’d want to be seen in. It won Motortrend’s first-ever Car of The Year award back in 1949, with journalists praising it for its technological superiority over the competition. It featured a 331ci V8 engine that was lighter, had increased power, and displayed better fuel economy. Our featured car's engine was rebuilt less than 1,000 miles ago for many more miles of driving pleasure.
The inherent dignity, grace and beauty that became a hallmark of Cadillac styling in the past took a giant leap forward for 1959. There is, for example, all of the impressive stature, which only a motor car of adequate length and wheelbase can offer. There's the appearance of solid enduring beauty from every angle and an unmistakable mantle of quality which marked Cadillac at the time as the standard of the world. There were 13 models offered by Cadillac in ‘59 including a variety of sedans and coupes a couple of convertibles and even a limousine. These models, including the Series 62 are remembered for their iconic huge tailfins with dual bullet taillights. Up for sale here is a staggering example of a 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe showing 47,500 original miles on its clock.
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.
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.
Duality is an important factor when purchasing your next machine, blistering performance on track plus smiles per gallon on a spirited drive is the ideal sweet spot for many. Present today is just that and takes shape with this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro.
The Volkswagen Beetle was truly the people’s car and its production numbers was a clear sign of that. With massive production numbers, standing out in the world of peace, love and happiness was truly a task. Present today is a Volkswagen Beetle that is out of the ordinary and takes shape with this lovely 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Champagne edition. With just 1,100 examples produced and just a mere 36,800 miles on its clock, this low mileage limited edition German classic has all the charm a Volkswagen Beetle brings to your life and then some more.
In 1963, Chevy introduced the second generation of their popular Corvette sports car and Americans went wild for it. While the first generation was groundbreaking, the second generation was, simply put, evolutionary. The coupe sported a new split-screen rear window that, sadly, had to be axed after just one year due to rearward visibility issues. No such worries with the convertible, which came with a slick metal hardtop that could be removed and kept at home. Today, we’ve got a nice 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for sale for the discerning collector or eager first-time classic car aficionado to purchase. This car hails from Rogers, Texas, and has covered over 75,000 miles in its life. This tells you everything you need to know; that it’s a car that’s truly worth driving and enjoying. Furthermore, this car comes with a reportedly numbers-matching engine and transmission, further elevating its collectible status.
