    One of the best driving and functioning 1959 Caddy convertibles anywhere. I drove it home and around town, loved it. My father (founder of Volo Museum) took it out for the afternoon and came back raving about it, said five star. My brother has restored and owned several 1959 Caddys, he drove for a day and talked very highly of it. He says they all rattle, not this one. He took it over railroad tracks and it was smooth. Power windows glide up and down fast, steers and stops easy, starts right up hot or cold, even the clock works!
    EXTERIOR: It's certainly stunning with the tallest wings ever made on a production car. The bullet tail lights, abundance of chrome body and being lipstick red will certainly get you noticed. It is restored beautifully. The car's straight from every angle, smooth along the bottoms. All the panels fit real well, doors shut like a new car. The paint is polished very smooth and glossy. The door jambs are painted very nicely, has new weather strips. All that chrome and stainless moldings shine brightly, are straight and fit the car really well. The bullets in the grill are not broken or missing. My brother said loose bullets cause rattles, they are tight on this car. Same thing in the back, all the chrome is beautiful and the bullet panel is very, very nice. The windshield is new. The glass has a light factory tint, it's in excellent shape. Chrome frames around the windows are excellent. It has a white fiberglass parade boot and it also has a new red soft boot. The convertible top is white, it's in excellent condition. It works and fits properly.
    INTERIOR: Very impressive interior. The upholstery has been completely redone in genuine leather. Most of the time people go with vinyl because it's a lot less expensive. The dash pad is the nicest one I've seen. It was actually sent out and professionally restored by Just Dashes. Most of the time they're split or have poorly fitting glue on cap or an upholstery shop makes their best attempt at reupholstering and it will have seams and stitches. The steering wheel is in excellent shape, it is very difficult to find a horn ring that isn't broken. It is very functional- quartz movement in the clock, gauges seem accurate, power seat and windows work quick (very unusual). My brother installed all new power window system in his 59, they were slow. Took the car to a different shop, paid more money and they were still slow. It also has upgraded retro stereo with power antenna, speakers in the lower doors and in the trunk. It has seat belts front and back. It also has a modern alarm system with lower locks operated by a remote.
    ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The motor compartment is very clean, it looks like it's been apart and restored. The 390 motor was rebuilt and the 325 hp it produces easily glides this car down the road. The fire wall is painted red, the motor is painted Cadillac blue. The alternator, hoses, fuel pump look new. The valve covers and big chrome air cleaner have been rechromed. It features power steering and power brakes. The metal finishes are smooth satin black.

      This actually had a good amount of clearance compared to some other vehicles we've had. Although we did have to back it up instead of pulling on forward, gives us a bit more room that way.

    I only saw one of these cars up close one summer day in 1983. I was behind said car waiting for a traffic light in south Minneapolis. An older gentleman, wearing a white captains hat, was driving his pristine white 1959 Cadillac Eldorado convertible with the top down. The interior was medium blue & white in color. I assume his wife was riding with him. My only regret is that I didn't have a camera with me. These cars almost take your breadth away, they're so beautiful!

    Very impressive car. Were I lucky enough to have possession of it I would maybe put some era correct Kelsey Hayes wire wheels. Pertronix in the distributor for reliability. A dream car of many people myself included. Once again another awsome find.

    If you get close up to an original 59 Caddy (as I did in a museum) and they look like they were assembled in a train yard. Uneven panel gaps you could fall through. Quite crude when you look them close up. THIS red machine has had all that fixed.

    Driving through Indiana today I saw a 52 on the back of a trailer. Looks like they pulled in out of someone’s barn. From what I can see I looked to be in decent shape, but it was going pass me at 70mph...

    Jay, if you hand pick the cars, kindly stop picking those candy apple reds....they look so fake and that's why everyone looks.
    Otherwise, hopefully the car was restored to original except for added newer safety features. Looks great. Hopefully, a nice v8 with a huge radiator.
