There is nothing subtle about this car, so if you’re looking for anonymity; look elsewhere. This 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville was big fin Americana style and flamboyance at its pinnacle and you can check it out here at MotoeXotica Classic Cars. This is a real J code hard top Coupe De Ville and the best part is this is a genuine factory black Cadillac! Do not be fooled by the numerous color changed to black Cadillacs offered for sale currently, factory black cars were low production and this one is genuine!
This 1959 De Ville comes out of Don Maddox's personal Cadillac collection. Don is very well known in the Cadillac community and has built many fine examples over the years. Highly regarded for his big fin pink Cadillac restorations and his memorable Christmas cards featuring these wonderful and stylish cars! Many of these Cadillacs can still be seen at the annual Crusin the Coast down at the Gulf Coast with their current owners. Also be sure to check out the popular Cadillac blog "King Daddy Caddy" that has featured many of Don's gorgeous Cadillacs over the years!
Dressed in the most sought after Cadillac exterior color, factory correct Ebony Black (code 10), this car’s paint and trim are in overall very good condition especially considering that all the trim and chrome pieces are in original condition. This car overall is very original and never has been restored except for one repaint and new correct seats fabric. While not concourse quality (but excellent candidate for one), this car makes a stylish statement wherever you go! The E-Z Eye tinted glass panels are in overall very good order but there are some minor blemishes on back window and another minor one on the windshield. The car’s windshield wipers are inoperable. This Caddy rolls on Firestone radial whitewalls, sized 235/75R15 at all four corners with the correct factory wheel covers. The massive and original chrome bumpers are brilliant overall but evidence some minor blemishes, notable on the right lower front bumper.
Under that large black hood is a very tidy engine bay with a 390 CID OHV V-8 engine with cast-iron block, five main bearings, hydraulic valve lifters and Carter AFB four-barrel carburetor with 10.5:1 compression producing 325HP. Backing that engine is a Hydramatic four-speed automatic transmission with a 2.94 rear end. Driver convenience features include power steering, power brakes and power windows.
Inside, the recently correct reupholstered black. white and silver (code 40) seats are attractive and look fantastic. The car has no seatbelts (never was equipped) but the front seat is powered and has six different positions. The complementing black carpet is in very good order, while the contrasting white headliner looks plush. The two-tone instrument panel and matching two-spoke steering wheel are in very good condition, as are the inner door panels, which echo the seat pattern. The mirror glass and shift lever look good. Completing the interior is a factory AM “Wonderbar” radio, the first automatic “station-seeking” radio tuner of its kind. There is a modern JVC receiver with AM/FM/CD and a USB port behind the glovebox door.
The 1959 Cadillac is remembered for its huge sharp tailfins with dual bullet taillights, two distinctive rooflines and roof pillar configurations, new jewel-like grille patterns and matching deck lid beauty panels. In 1959, Series 62 models were moved to their own series, the Series 6200. DeVilles and two-door Eldorados became the Series 6300 and Series 6400, respectively, though they all, including the four-door Eldorado Brougham (which was moved from the Series 70 to Series 6900), shared the same 130-inch wheelbase. The DeVille Series had script nameplates on the rear fenders. Standard equipment included power brakes, power steering, automatic transmission, back-up lamps, two-speed windshield wipers, wheel discs, outside rearview mirror, vanity mirror, oil filter, power windows and two way power seats. Plain fender skirts covered the rear wheels and four-doors were available in either four-window or six-window hardtop configurations. More than 53,000 DeVilles were sold in their first year as a separate series, accounting for roughly 37 percent of all Cadillacs sold.
Competition to this Cadillac in 1959 included the Chrysler New Yorker two-door hardtop, the Continental Mark VI Coupe and the Lincoln Premiere Coupe.
