As the 1950's nearly the end of the decade, the post war design from GM had really come to a head with aircraft influence being at the peak of their features! No doubt that Cadillac took the theme to new levels with the flamboyant and seriously elegant 1959 Cadillac body lines! A new front end now had a prominent brow stretching from the headlamps through the hood line, along with distinctive, twin horizontal chrome bumpers. It would be out back at the rear end where this car would earn its automotive merits forever! The extended rear fins off the quarter panels, highlighted with quad bullet style tail lamps, would make history as the largest GM would ever offer! Cadillac would produce just over 142,000 vehicles in 1959, but only 12,250 would be Fleetwood Sixty Specials representing the rarest of all 4-door models offered!
We are very proud to offer this 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special Hardtop Sedan finished in nearly all original, factory applied Dunstan Blue & Dover White roof exterior paint with an all original, preserved Blue cloth & leather interior! Under the hood rests its original, numbers matching 390ci V8 producing 325 horsepower mated to the factory original 1959-date coded Hydra-Matic automatic transmission and 3.21:1 rear axle ratio. This car has only two owners from new, and comes loaded with nearly all the factory options including air conditioning, heater/defrost, power windows & vent windows, power door locks, 6-way power driver seat, E-Z-Eye window glass & 3-way rearview mirror, Autronic Eye automatic headlight dimmer, power trunk release & pull down feature, AM pushbutton radio with power antenna, electric clock, cruise control, front & rear interior courtesy lights, hood & truck lights, rear fender skirts, rear spare tire cover, door edge guards, interior carpeted floor mats, front accessory trash can & tissue dispenser, and fog lamps!
This example is in full functional capacity in all respects! Every interior & exterior light, electric clock, factory radio, trunk release & power pull feature, all power options, air conditioning, etc. are all in excellent working condition! It has recently been through our shop and received some attention to the air conditioning that included a new compressor clutch, conversion to R134a components, new battery, new valve cover gaskets, fresh fluids & filters, power steering box seals, all new brake wheel cylinders, and other minor improvements. Prior to its arrival it has been fitted with a new exhaust system, new Vogue whitewall/yellow stripe radial tires, and new shocks at all four corners.
It remains an impeccably well cared for example that has always been garage kept from day one! It retains nearly all of its factory applied Magic Mirror acrylic lacquer paint, with only a few areas that required touching up here and there, but absolutely rust free. The chrome and bright work are beautiful! Once inside the car, one would have a very difficult time finding any criticisms. The upholstery, dash pad, steering wheel, carpeting, door panels, and headliner are simply in extraordinary condition overall! You can even see factory inspection stampings still present on the firewall and air conditioning compressor.
