Cadillac Coupe DeVille 1959

Legendary 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille for Sale
An exceptional opportunity for collectors and admirers of true American automotive icons: a 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille – one of the most recognizable and distinctive designs in automotive history.
Powered by a 6384 cm³ V8 engine producing 325 horsepower and equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission, this six-passenger hardtop coupe represents the pinnacle of late-1950s American luxury and engineering. With a length of 5.9 meters and a weight of 2145 kg, it commands an unmistakable presence on the road.
The 1959 model year became a defining moment in American car manufacturing. Its dramatic rocket-style tailfins—reportedly inspired by post-war fighter aircraft—shaped the visual identity of an entire era. The spectacular, chrome-rich grille and the dynamically sculpted rear design give the car both elegance and theatrical presence, turning the 1959 Cadillac into a global symbol of success and prosperity.
The model was designed by Bill Mitchell under the approval of chief designer Harley Earl. Although its bold styling initially divided public opinion, sales figures quickly confirmed its success. The tailfin design became such a strong trend that aftermarket manufacturers began producing attachable “fins” for other brands, allowing more modest cars to imitate the Cadillac style.
This particular example has a unique history: during the 1990s, it served in Hungary as a promotional vehicle for Coca-Cola’s Fanta campaign. Its six-seat hardtop configuration and dramatic styling make it instantly recognizable. Interestingly, the American icon shares certain design similarities with the Soviet-era Chaika limousine, demonstrating the global influence of Cadillac’s styling.
Equipment includes electric windows and dual exhaust. The legendary Cadillac V8 engine of this era—widely regarded as one of the finest in the world—delivers powerful yet refined performance.
The 1959 Coupe DeVille is far more than a classic car: it is a rolling sculpture, a cultural statement, and a centerpiece for any distinguished collection. Ideal for vintage events, exhibitions, film productions, or as a solid investment in an iconic American automobile.
Timeless design, unmistakable presence, and historical significance come together in this remarkable vehicle.
