1959 CADILLAC SERIES 62
Chassis No. 59B054052
French collector’s registration certificate for domestic use (CF text)
American origin
Iconic model
No Reserve
The 1959 Cadillac Sedan DeVille embodies the absolute pinnacle of the American automotive golden age. Created under the guidance of designer Harley Earl, it established the DeVille line as a series in its own right. Its appearance is striking, with its immense length of 5.71 meters and uncompromising luxury. It remains famous for its gigantic rear fins—the tallest ever produced in series production—which incorporate spectacular red taillights shaped like jet engines, inspired by “Space Age” styling. Under its long hood lies a powerful 6.4-liter V8 engine producing 325 chevaux. By 1960, Cadillac had toned down its styling, making the 1959 model a unique and timeless piece. Today, it remains the most recognizable 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 subject to a follow-up inspection due to an imbalance in the front brakes and improperly adjusted headlights.
The car has been modified into a parade convertible; the roof has been removed, and the four doors have been retained in the spirit of vintage American conversions. No soft top is installed on this vehicle.
However, the registration document makes no mention of this custom 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, characterized by extravagant fender flares and the influence of the space age.
