1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible

1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible - The most sought-after 1959 model! - Stunning color combination - Optional spoked wheels The 1959 model is undoubtedly the most sought-after among Cadillac collectors, as it represents the pinnacle of a design inspired by excess, flamboyance and of course aerospace. The abundance of chrome, rocket-shaped wings with impressive spoilers featuring ogive-shaped headlights, the wealth of equipment – not to mention the 6.4-litre V8 engine producing 325 hp and its fabulous torque: absolutely everything is extraordinary! This particular example is the most desirable variant, as a convertible. Sold new in the USA, it features the colour which best showcases its breathtaking, chrome-accented design: black. Meanwhile, the interior is finished in red and cream upholstery, adding just the right touch of character to the overall look. It joined the collection of the current owner in 2010, a lover of black Cadillac convertibles. The car was restored (including the upholstery) and was fitted with optional wire-spoke wheels. It naturally features an electric soft top in working order, as well as four electric windows. With its power steering and assisted braking, this Cadillac is extremely easy to drive despite its size; it will be welcomed with open arms at concours d’élégance events. More than just a car, this is a design masterpiece from America’s most iconic era; it belongs equally on a museum plinth as it does on the open road. Photos © Tom Dederke
