001 CADILLAC SEDAN DE VILLE 1959 390 V8 AUTOMATIC – FRAMELESS WINDOWS – AN ICON OF AMERICAN AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY

For sale is an exceptional Cadillac from the legendary 1959 model year – one of the most recognizable and desirable automobiles in automotive history. This is a true icon of 1950s America, distinguished by its massive tailfins, rocket-inspired taillights, and an abundance of chrome. The silhouette of this model is still considered one of the greatest styling achievements in American automotive design and undoubtedly attracts attention wherever it goes.

Under the hood is the legendary 390 cubic inch (6.4L) V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission. The gearbox shifts smoothly, providing the comfortable driving experience expected from a luxurious American land yacht.
A noteworthy feature is the original transmission shift pattern used in many late-1950s American vehicles. This Cadillac retains its factory P-N-DR-L-R gear selection layout, which differs from modern automatic transmission configurations. It is an interesting detail that highlights the authenticity of the vehicle and allows the driver to experience the true spirit of motoring from that era.

The car is equipped with power steering, making this full-size classic surprisingly easy and enjoyable to drive. Another standout feature is its elegant pillarless window design, which enhances the sleek body lines. The vehicle also retains its single exterior mirror on the driver’s side only, just as many manufacturers produced them during that period.

This particular example features a timeless black exterior combined with a beautiful two-tone blue interior. The Fleetwood-style cabin is presented in very good condition. Wide bench seats, chrome accents, a classic dashboard, factory radio, and numerous period-correct details create the unmistakable atmosphere of a luxury Cadillac from the late 1950s.

Features include:
• 390 CID (6.4L) V8 engine
• Automatic transmission
• Power steering
• Factory radio
• Analog clock
• Factory heating and ventilation system
• Windshield washer system
• Chrome interior trim
• Fleetwood-style two-tone interior
The engine compartment presents very well, and an additional advantage is the newly installed alternator. The electrical system functions properly, all basic features operate as intended, and the working horn further confirms the vehicle’s readiness for enjoyment and regular use.
The trunk is clean, well-maintained, and finished with carpeting, including a dedicated Cadillac floor mat. The sale also includes folding chairs, perfect for car shows, picnics, and automotive events.
This is an example that requires no additional work before the driving season. The car is ready to go – simply get in, turn the key, and enjoy one of the most iconic American automobiles ever built.
Odometer reading: 108,562 miles.
