In 1959 Cadillac parted company with General Motors top designer Harley Earl. and launched the swan song of the decadent 1950 s tail fin and chrome era. GM's Art and Color studio created one of the greatest icons of the 1950's automotive era. the 1959 Cadillac. No single automotive design better characterized the industry's late 50 s flamboyance than the 1959 Cadillac. Large tailfins. twin bullet taillamps. two distinctive rooflines and roof pillar configurations and new jewel-like grille patterns on both the front and rear truly personified these cars. The base engine produced an ample 325 bhp. however. on the Eldorado and Fleetwood models. horsepower was increased to 345.

The Fleetwood model Cadillacs featured a rear facing. bullet shaped. scoop-like convex panel that stretched from the tail of the car to midway through the rear doors. This lavish trim was further highlighted by chrome belt molding that stretched all the way around the rocketship-style side scoop. Loaded with every amenity possible. the top of the line Cadillacs featured power accessories like the autotronic eye which automatically dimmed its headlights for the driving convenience of oncoming cars. Other standard power features included vent windows. seats. steering and brakes. The gracious interior appointments and independent coil sprung suspension provided both the driver and passengers with a more than satisfactory ride in the plushest of environments.

The Sixty Special Fleetwood on offer here received a thorough restoration in the early 1990 s. Since then the Cadillac Fleetwood is reported to have been driven sparingly and remains in well restored. presentable condition throughout. On the expansive chrome. there is only some minor blemishing reported in the jeweled bumper area. The blue metallic paintwork seems to be in good condition overall. The foam padded curved fitted dashboard is reported to have been fully replaced and the interior looks to be in good overall condition. This 1959 Fleetwood is fully equipped with the distinctive autotronic eye and a wide assortment of power accessories and conveniences. Nearly unmatched in their outlandish styling and close resemblance to the famed Batmobile . the 1959 Cadillac Fleetwoods. with their dummy side air intakes. earned their place in history as among the most comfortable. amply powered American luxury cars ever built.
