![]() I was 17 when the 59’s high the showrooms. I love old Cadillacs but did not have one. How about you? Do you want all your cars to be perfect, or at least perfectly original? Or is your definition of a fun car more flexible than that? I, for one, don’t demand perfection in this case–Sunday driver condition is just fine by me. The car also came with a lot of options, including air conditioning, power seat and windows, “Autronic Eye” automatic headlight dimming and cruise control. Here’s the big 390 cubic inch V8, said to be original. But it would kill it’s value, and again, to show the car competitively you’d have to start from scratch. It doesn’t bother me that much that the seats are vinyl rather than leather (it’s a driver, remember). Now, if you’ve ever had a child spill their soda in the back seat and not tell you right away, you’ll appreciate good vinyl. The interior was redone in 2003, supposedly in the original pattern but in vinyl rather than leather. The brightwork alone could run in excess of $10k! This is one car that I’d almost rather have in this state–where I could drive it and enjoy it but not be petrified of every trip down a gravel driveway (I happen to have one at the new house, so I’m pretty sensitive to that). ![]() ![]() But I certainly wouldn’t evict this great cruiser from my garage, would you? Yet the cost to take this pretty nice car and turn it into a show winner would be staggering. Looks like the front tire on this side has met some curbs as well. All the trim appears to be both present and in place, and although I usually don’t like wide whitewalls on 60’s cars, I’ll make an exception in this case (I’d still prefer narrow whitewalls, though!)Įven the top looks pretty nice, although I wonder about the bulge at the right side window top. It’s only covered 10,000 miles since then, bringing the total up to 87,000 (or 187,000). I’m sure it’s a repaint, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it dates from 2003 as a lot of other work was done on the car at that time. It’s located in Bensalem, Pennsylvania and is listed for sale here on eBay, where bidding is just below $5,000 as I write. The seller admits it is not a concours quality car, and makes no attempt at representing it as such. Monday-Thursday & Sunday grab one of our pool and pitcher bundles during select times of day!
