1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille

Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to offer one gorgeous American classic: a 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. Cadillac has always been the pinnacle of American luxury, but 1959 may have been Cadillac's pinnacle of American design. This massive two door sedan features a chrome grill dressed with jewel-like teeth spanning the front between dual headlamps on each side. The chrome trim is liberally applied from front to back including trim along the hood, each side, and topping each fin. Perhaps the most recognizable American design feature: the fin, made it's debut in 1948 by Cadillac. The fins stuck around and hit their peak of style in 1959. Projecting from each rear tailfin is a set of two bullet shaped tail lights. These lights have been used by hot rodders and custom motorcycle builders for their unique yet recognizable look. This particular '59 Coupe deVille is dressed in Seminole Red with all the chrome trim in great condition. It sits on the proper wide white wall tires which scream the 1950s. In the era of suburban sprawl and expansion in America, everyone wanted a large sedan with a comfortable ride and plenty of room to pile the family into the bench seat interior. With gasoline selling for $0.30/gallon in 1959, it's no surprise this luxury sedan comes with a 390 CID V8 under the hood which outputs a reasonable 325 HP. This was backed by Cadillac's 4 speed automatic transmission which made for a smooth and effortless ride. You can pilot this land yacht with one finger on the wheel and cruise all day at 65 mph without a care in the world. The interior is large and comfortable featuring black and white two tone upholstery which is like sitting on your living room sofa. The car is equipped with power steering, power brakes, AM radio, and power front seat. This Caddy would make a great boulevard cruiser to go check out the town on a Friday night. Can you imagine loading up 4 of your closest friends and setting out on a weekend road trip in this gem? Head to the beach, go to a car show, head to your favorite team's sporting event, heck drive this bad boy to Vegas if you want.
