General Motors dominated the late '50s, particularly thanks to its full-size lineup, which helped Chevrolet reclaim the number one spot from Ford.
Impala and Bel Air were the two superstars, but luxurious models like the Cadillac Coupe DeVille also enjoyed strong sales. The DeVille slowly became a pioneer of luxury features, paving the way for bigger sales recorded during the '60s.
A 1959 model that has likely spent its entire life in a garage is now looking for a new home, flexing a package many collectors will drool over.
First, the car continues to be entirely original. Everything you see on the car (except for the tires) was installed by Cadillac, and this is another sign that this DeVille rarely got to see the sunlight. eBay seller gr8dayca says the vehicle recently received regular maintenance, including new brakes, so right now, it starts, runs, drives, and stops perfectly.
The working condition is good news for anyone who doesn't want to spend too much time restoring a Cadillac. The DeVille isn't a perfect 10, but getting it back in tip-top shape won't be a major project, as it only requires minor occasional repairs.
The Gotham Gold exterior paint looks good, though it already shows its age, so a collector would want a respray. The owner says the car has never been restored, so the current coat of paint should be the original one sprayed by Cadillac before the vehicle left the factory.
The green interior also aligns with the car's overall condition, and like the rest of the vehicle, it requires occasional touches to return to a perfect shape.
The 390 V8 engine under the hood doesn't disappoint, and despite never getting a rebuild, it's ready to take you anywhere you want. However, you're unlikely to leave on long trips in this Cadillac, not because the car isn't ready for the road but because of the low mileage.
The car flexes just 20,000 original miles (about 32,000 km), so its place is not on the road but in someone's garage as part of a collection.
Unsurprisingly, a classic Cadillac survivor doesn't sell cheaply, and this Coupe DeVille aligns with these trends. The owner wants $33K for the vehicle, which isn't necessarily surprising, given it flexes the entire package, including an all-original and unrestored lineup. The low miles are a great bonus, as the Cadillac would make for an excellent collectible, especially if restored to factory specifications by a professional.
The owner has also enabled the Make Offer button, meaning you can probably lower the price to about $30,000 with the right negotiation skills. If you want to see the car in person, you must travel to Glendale, California, where the Cadillac is waiting for a new owner.
