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 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.
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.
Owning an Alfa Romeo is an act of lust, self-sacrifice and pure aural pleasure. That’s because these Italian machines are full of character, quirky, and need the appropriate maintenance to perform at their best. Neglect an Alfa Romeo and everyone will be sad (car included). However, if you look after it the way it’s meant to be, and drive it with gusto, you’ll find it quickly becoming your happy place, your solitude space. Furthermore, if you select a car like this New York-based 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 TS that’s done just 37,000 miles, you’ll also be in charge of a definitive future classic, and a potentially appreciating asset.
The Chevrolet brand set the standard for American automobiles in the 60s, and it only takes one look at this 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Deluxe Wagon to understand why. The simple and straightforward nature of the car speaks to the American spirit. With the wagon form, this Chevelle packed with a host of upgrades, after reportedly undergoing a full restoration with a 410 hp 383ci stroker engine, a new paint job in 2015 according to the current owner, aftermarket wheels, new tires and an all-new interior. If you’re looking for an classic that is unique, then this Chevelle is what you’re looking for.
The Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a two-door coupe that was positioned in the personal luxury car space. Of course, with a name like Monte Carlo, you can glean that it’s meant for the upmarket segment. Made across six generations, you could buy a brand-new Monte Carlo as recently as 2007. However, the classic Monte Carlos are the ones to get, such as this Pennsylvania-based, second generation 1974 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landau. With a reported 40,805 original miles, this car is waiting for its next fortunate owner.
