Description
1959 CADILLAC SERIES 62 Chassis no. 59B054052 French classic car registration certificate for road use (CF text) American origin Iconic model The 1959 Cadillac Sedan DeVille epitomises the absolute pinnacle of the American automotive golden age. Created under the guidance of designer Harley Earl, it established the DeVille range as a series in its own right. Its appearance is striking, with its immense length of 5.71 metres and uncompromising luxury. It remains famous for its gigantic rear fins, the tallest ever produced in series production. These feature spectacular red lights shaped like jet engines, inspired by the ‘Space Age’ style. Beneath its long bonnet lies a powerful 6.4-litre V8 engine producing 325 chevaux. From 1960 onwards, Cadillac toned down its styling, making the 1959 model a unique and timeless classic. It remains today the most recognisable icon in the automotive history of the 1950s. This example is a 1959 Cadillac Sedan DeVille of American origin, imported from the United States. Its owner has owned it for 14 years. The vehicle was required to undergo a re-inspection due to an imbalance in the front brakes and incorrectly adjusted headlights. The car has been converted into a parade convertible; the roof has been removed whilst retaining all four doors, in keeping with the style of American conversions of the era. No soft top is fitted to this vehicle. However, the registration document makes no mention of this bespoke conversion, and the vehicle is therefore intended solely for use on closed roads. The 1959 Cadillac Sedan DeVille remains a striking example of late 1950s American automotive style, characterised by extravagant fins and the influence of the space age. 1959 CADILLAC Sedan DeVille - Chassis no. 59B054052 - French classic car registration certificate for domestic use (CF text) - American origin - Iconic model The 1959 Cadillac Sedan DeVille embodies the absolute pinnacle of the American automotive golden age.
