The seller offers for sale this Cadillac Sedan DeVille from 1959, a large American sedan powered by a 6.2-litre V8 petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. The car was purchased in Texas and restored in 2005 by professionals, after which it became part of the current ownership, which has lasted since that year. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly, making the car suitable for regular driving. The body presents itself in good order, and the interior features renewed upholstery, contributing to a well-kept appearance. A technical upgrade has been carried out in the form of front disc brakes, improving driving confidence. The car is reported to be insured and driven almost every weekend, underlining its usable character. It holds a valid technical inspection and has a documented mileage of 70.000 km.
The Cadillac Sedan Flat Top of 1959 is one of the most recognisable American cars of its era, known for its dramatic styling, wide stance, and emphasis on comfort. Part of Cadillac’s late-1950s lineup, it reflects the brand’s position at the top of General Motors, offering smooth V8 power and a relaxed driving experience. These models are appreciated for their bold design, spacious interiors, and strong road presence. Today, a 1959 Cadillac remains an icon of post-war American automotive culture and is sought after by enthusiasts who value style, cruising comfort, and classic Americana.
