Throughout the 1950s, the Cadillac Series 62 was one of the most impressive and imposing full-size models available for sale. It combined classic American styling with the kind of luxury best known to be offered by Caddilacs of the era. The Series 62 was always known for its remarkable styling, but by 1959, that was taken to another level. The model features some truly impressive design features, from the massive tailfins to the distinct rooflines of the sedans. As always, the Series 62 was available in a variety of body styles, including hardtop coupes, various sedans, and the convertible. It’s the convertible that is the subject of this listing, with our 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible featuring the car’s original 390ci V8 engine, a new paint job, and 154,000 miles.
The 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible is a unique creation. The full essence of the design only lasted for one year, with the 1960 MY toning things down. The 1959 model was characterized by its sky-high tail fins, bullet-shaped rear lights, massive chrome grille, and pointed bumper extensions. The car has been entirely repainted with a resplendent coat of black lacquer. At the same time, it features lots of chrome, including prominent chrome bumpers front and rear and those instantly recognizable “Batmobile” lights. To provide some contrast to the black, you’ll find a newly installed white convertible top, along with large-profile whitewall tires. The white and black theme continues as you step inside, with the seats, door cards, and dashboard finished in a split color scheme. The owner reports the interior is original to the car. The front seat features a bench seat, and rear-seat passengers are treated to individual ashtrays. The driver is presented with a large twin-spoke steering wheel featuring the traditional chrome horn ring. Behind it, you’ll find a horizontal speedometer that reads up to 120 mph, with guages for the fuel level and engine temperature also included. Last but not least, the 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible was known for its luxury, so you won’t be surprised to find power windows here either.
This 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible features a 390ci (6.4-liter) V8 engine, which provided an impressive 325 hp when new. The owner reports that the engine is original to the car and has been meticulously serviced. You’ll also find the car’s original automatic transmission, which sends power to the rear wheels.

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.
The original purpose of the Cadillac Series 40-62 was to complement the entry-level Series 61. The Series 62 saw seven generations. 1949 falls in the third generation and it was produced for only two years, between 1948 and 49. They were designed by renowned American automotive designer Harley Earl. Today, hot rod and street rod builders find these artworks on wheels to be enticing targets. This stunning 1949 Cadillac Custom is one such specimen that has done 190,000 miles so far. With a wealth of adventures and memories in its spirit, this fully restored beauty is in excellent condition and is available for sale in California.
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.
The Cadillac Eldorado is a well-known luxury car from renowned American automaker Cadillac. In fact, the brand itself has become the representation of American luxury vehicles. When it debuted in 1952, the Eldorado was a full-size luxury car, and continued for fifty years, across twelve generations. With its sizable dimensions, comfortable interior and the latest technological innovations of the time, it’s no surprise that the Eldorado was an aspirational item for many. So, you can imagine how the first owner of this ninth generation 1975 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible must have felt when they went to receive their brand-new Cadillac. Now, the car has done 87,000 miles, and comes to you with a few refurbishments to keep it running at its peak. So why not acquire this quintessential Seventies Land Yacht as your next (or first) classic car?

The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
Say hello to the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS. You may be familiar with the name; after all, it’s one of the most iconic cars out there. It was a proper performance car that took the Camaro name to new heights. One of the downsides of this kind of fame is that imitators are aplenty — not all Camaros bore the SS moniker when they left the showroom. However, our featured car is reported to be a true SS. Moreover, it’s undergone a complete restoration to bring it to its current condition.
