It's not just a car, it's a work of art.

This car is a dream❤

Just imagine riding through your town in that beauty.

I was born in 1955 and as far back as my memory can go my daddy drove Cadillac. I can remember him with the 56 an 59. Now at my age the 1959 Eldorado is still my dream car. That on you just showed was so beautiful.

3/2023......I was 6 years old in 1959,....it was around that time or maybe a year or two later, my aunt, owned one of those 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz's. She and her husband were wealthy,.., he was in the Jewelry business, and made a good living. My parents were more middle class,...we owned Dodge's. So my aunt's Caddy was parked in our driveway in suburban Cleveland, Ohio. Me and my young chums, were goofing around, chasing each other around my aunt's car. I wasn't watching close enough and kind of stood up, and got clobbered by that extremely pointy tail fin. My wound didn't draw blood,....but I had a walnut sized knot in the middle of my forehead, for weeks afterwards. Boy did it ever hurt! Ha!

I can only imagine how cool this car would have been back in ‘59…

My grandparents had a ‘59 Buick. It’s fins were huge, but not as big as the Cadillac’s. I remember my grandmother driving me to Robert Hall to get my school clothes. Cars DO provide such good memories!

I love that chrome. They even chromed the back> I thought it was front grill at first. Even the interior dash lots of real chrome. This car was uniquely American, as impressive as an aircraft carrier.

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CADILLAC !!!!!

Lou, I've tuned into your car show for quite a while now, and I must say you do a fantastic job. I would also like to say, your friend Andrew strikes me as a very nice guy. Between the two of you, your knowledge on automobiles must be outstanding. Thankyou Lou and thankyou David for showing us what must be some of the best cars on the planet. God bless you both.

I remember reading that the tailfins were only 4” shorter than the roofline. Having retired from law enforcement, I like the bullet taillights. LOL! Beautiful chariot.

This Cadillac is a jewel among cars. I love him, because this is what real cars look like!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Back when cars were styled, not made to fit on a "one size fits all" platform and each division was individual in its own right.

Wow Lou what a beautiful huge unit that was! I really enjoyed this video and the memories of this car as I was just a year old. Beautiful design and and rich color in and out. I have had a great time watching this and the curator was great describing this piece of automotive history! Thanks for sharing Lou!

I have a friend who has one in South London, England. I can't seem to recall the actual number but it was either 1000 or 1001 of 1320. I used to take old people and sick kids out for rides in it, a car that makes everyone smile when they see it. I was driving in London one time and an American fella jumped into the road, i hit the Power Brake and just managed to not run him down. Startled i stared at him and he told me excitedly that his father had had one of these when he was a child and never thought he see one of these on the streets of London! He must have come from a relatively wealthy family as iirc you could've bought a couple of houses for the price of this car at the time. Although my friends' car is now red after it was restored in Sweden (where he purchased it) the original colour is the same as the one in this video. For its time it had a ridiculous amount of electric power, front bench seat (forward, back, angled, sideways tilt), all windows including quarters, roof and that little gizmo that sat centre on the dash was to turn the full beam down. The lights at night were magnificent, all 8 at the front and 4 rockets at the back. The massive steering could be turned full lock with one finger and had an amazingly good turning circle. I absolutely loved driving this car, a pure cruiser although at a speed higher than 40mph it starts to act like a big boat. It sounds like a V8 should and i think this engine in particular (2 of them in one boat) was used by Riva in their Aquarama model. My friend only made one addition to the car, he installed a 1958 Philips 45rpm record player, it made every journey epic. Thanks for reading my ramble and posting this video. Jel.

Lou, What a piece of real estate that 59 caddy is! My older brother owned a 66 caddy convertible in the Florida keys, one day his friend got his Ford 150 stuck in the sand when trying to pull his boat and trailer out of the boat launch. He asked my brother to help pull him out of the water with his caddy. When his friend honked his horn in the F150 they both where to pull out the boat and trailer out at the same time, they tied a tow strap to the front F150s tow hooks and the other end of the tow strap was tied off to the back of my brothers 66 caddy convertible. The F150 had its parking brake on so it would roll back further into the water with his boat and trailer. As his friend was climbing into the F150 his hand accidentally hit the horn, and my brother hit the gas pedal of his 66 caddy convertible and literally pulled out the F150 boat and trailer with the F150s parking brake still on… that’s how powerful those big old caddy’s are! I believe it had a 465 if I remember correctly. and the color was baby blue. We used to cut bait on the hood of that car, imagine blood dripping down the front hood and fender of the baby blue paint! Those where care free times to say the least! Lol

Setting the world standard back then. In my top 20 of favorite cars of all time. Thanks Lou.

The glory days for Cadillac, when it truly was The Standard of the World. Thanks Lou!

All my wife and I drive. We own 4 caddies. This years has always been our favorite year. Thetes nothing like these old cadillacs

I'm active in the automotive community and see a number of late 50's early 60's Cadillacs, but this one is a really nice example. The color is very classy and the leather interior was beautiful. If you haven't been around one of these cars, the camera tries, but doesn't quite reveal the scale of these cars, they are really big and the 225" length is incredible on this car. I have a new '19 Cadillac CT6-V which I think is large and this '59 Cadillac is over a foot and a half longer. Very few garages are large enough to park a car like this. However, when you arrive in a car like this, you are instantly noticed, thanks for showing us this wonderful car.

The car every man dreamed of in 1959. THE best fins of the era. Good job Lou

Really Great Cars love them. Cars when i was a young lad.Good to see how well kept by special people.

Craftsmanship at it's very best... . imagine driving this beautiful baby on the freeway... 💕 💕 💕

This has been my dream car since I was a kid! There were only 1320 made in 1959, and amazingly I found one in my country! But didn't have the money to buy it back when the owner didn't know its real value! Now he does! Thanks for uploading!

All I can say is, that the 1959 Cadillac Caddy Eldorado Biarritz is way before its time, I love the color of paint!

This has always been my all time favorite car, American engineering at it's best! By far the best fins of the era... Thanks for the tour...

I’m just amazed at the detail work on these works of art on wheels. They thought of everything- and then some.

Lou...I think most car aficiandos believe the fabled '59 Caddy is the ultimate be all-end all, over the top example design of the fabulous 1950's, surely a memorable time in US auto history...simply an explosion of innovation, spectacular colors and design...I'm thrilled I was around even as a youngster to experience it all in real time...and am happy you are able to post these wonderful videos....you simply can never go wrong showing the 59 Caddy in any of its great selections....

That's what a REAL Cadillac looks like!

Awww cadillac cars ....... Really awesome❤ i'm 13 years old and i'm girl i love cadillac and all cars but cadillac so different 😍❤

Thanks, Lou for uploading & sharing with us the video of 59 Cadillac and other classic. For me, d 59 Caddy is my favorite. Take care. Keep on d good work. God bless us all.🙏

1320 Eldorado Biarritz convertibles were built. Many have been exported out of the US. Popular in Europe, Scandinavia, Asia, Russia, Australia .......Big American cars with styling to match the space age. Greatest car for Homecoming, parades, rock n roll movies, cruising In-N-Out, Elvis and Marilyn look-a-likes, and a thousand ads in fashion, style, and city magazines. Iconic is the word. Hope you will re-upload this to correct the YT stabilization distortion. Thanks Lou. I've been lucky enough to see a few of these in person in SoCal.

This is just an amazing car. I hope to own one of these when I start driving. Also, I can't get over the fact that these things came stock with V8s! Outstanding!

It looks like something that a child would imagine as a spaceship.

Stunningly beautiful Automobile. It was a different world back then. Every thing was made with honesty and love. Economic gains were not the goal. Love it.

There is something so great about the old Caddys. I love the fins and the bulk of the car. We used to call large cars boats. This one is a prime example of a boat!

Thank you always Lou!

Drop dead GORGEOUS!

I remember visiting my uncle in Santa Barbara California in 1967, he had a white 59 Fleetwood. It was still like brand new only 8 years old, the interior was HUGE!

So glad I came across this awesome post. I hope you guys across the pond appreciate these iconic, stunning cars that you have . These caddies and others like it make in my mind what the USA is all about . Very envious. Great job guys 💪🙏❤️ Dave Uk 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸

She is such a beautiful classic car

LOL! Towards the end of the video, when you closed the door, I thought it was gunfire !!!

Ooooh The Opulence...Breathtaking automobile!

Theres NOTHING hotter than this fabulous car!! My ALL TIME favorite car!!

The sheer chutzpah in design of the 59 Eldo is amazing! Hard to imagine if anyone could even dream up all that chrome trim and make the moulds to produce it these days?

Golden era of Big American cars👍

My friend owned a used one in the early 70s and it was a blast with no air in the bags, a low rider for sure!!! 2021

Such elegance!!!! No new car will ever match it's shear beauty!!!!!!!

great to take on dates! ;)

What a beauty

When I was a child, our neighbors had a '59 Cadillac Coupe de Ville...it was white with a black and white interior...as a small child I was always afraid of it...it looked kind of sinister with it's fins, and grille that looked like an open mouth with teeth! I remember many a ride to school in it on rainy days! Eventually it was traded in on a 1970 Coupe de Ville, gold with a gold brocade interior and black vinyl top. Good memories of this astonishing automotive marque!

1959 Cadillac El Dorado is the father of every car made in the world. Beautiful beyond imagination.

Fantastic!

It would be nice to see a more technical video of this car in more detail. Like the gas cap, the operation of the power vent windows, the bucket seats that the back folds all the way forward to keep the hot sun off the seat cushions when the top is down. Show that the sun visors hide when folded down and inward hiding under the windshield. Turn signal indicators on the front top of the fenders. Comment on the tobacco industry influence on placing all the ashtrays and lighters and the big "lighter" sign on the dash. Show how the air ride works. If the radio has the "wonder bar" show how it changes station when pushing the floor button that looks like the hi-beam floor button.

Absolutely stunning Cadillac

thanks for these videos Lou have loved old Cadillacs since I was a little kid as my recently deceased maternal grandmother had a 1979 Coupe Deville in Colonial Yellow with saddle brown leather interior and when mum and uncle Joe were kids Grandpa had an Eldorado Convertible from the late 1960s that was traded for an Oldsmobile 98 Holiday Coupe in 1971 of 1972 Model year

Lou you've done it again. As you know There can Never be enough CHROME for me. 59 Cadillac style in general was a bit too clean. But side moldings on this Biarritz and even more on Sixty Special really took 59s to my idea of what was truly CADILLAC OTT excessive luxury. 🏆 ✌. 👑

Your Eldorado is beautiful! I have had many of these cadillacs when i was young. I know all of the specs since i was a teenager. I am sad that i did not keep them. I am 63, and cannot even own them anymore. only the wealthy can afford the pleasure to have these beautiful vehicles. Harley Earl? thanks...

Now that's a Beautiful car...Thanks for showing it! Till your next video...

Love seeing the details that most people tend to overlook except for those that designed the details. Badging & logos can be works of art in & of themselves in addition to the car as a whole.

This is my dream car

the best car of the planet......🇺🇸👍

You my friend are a true friend indeed that was a great video thank you for taking the time to make that

I LOVE THIS SHOW. THE BEST IS HERE.

Estos automóviles fueron obras de arte es sencillamente hermoso cuando los Estados Unidos hacían los mejores autos del mundo

The color is either Wood Rose or Persian Sand . The lighting makes it tough to get an accurate hue. As for the position of the R for the gear selection it wasn't just an issue for cadillac because several cars had odd set-ups and it was made worse by the Chrysler Push Button system plus the Edsel . Reverse was finally placed beside the forward selections and no longer between them . The push button system had flaws to jump in and out of a selection or stick in place , Ford found that many owners brought the car back for a conversion to the column selector . Packard had their own set-up as well.

Lou , was young when these land yachts were everywhere, beautiful then and still beautiful ,when luxury cars WERE luxury cars and were like driving a cloud

I've been fascinated watching your videos and just wanted to say "Hello" and Thank you for showing in detail your fine automobiles..As far as the Cadillacs go this was definitely the time when owning a Cadillac really meant something..Thanks again. Dan Butler in San Diego..

WOW! This is when they made cars with some real style and pizzazz --- not utilitarian fiberglass/plastic devoid of any chrome of today. Cars today all seem to look the same -- to me anyway.

That 59 caddy has a 390 in it 350 horsepower, and my 60 had the same drivetrain and it was fast I mean fast it moved right along and so did the gas gauge.

Look at this automobile!! Idk what to say but absolutely beautiful work of art good job gentlemen 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I love it, Lou! Thanks, for all you do

america showing the world "we're livin large"

That was GM"S way of saying"we'll show you a thing or two about FINS"!!

I was 12 when this car was new. A retired couple up the street had one in this color. I was thrilled when, on occasion, I got to ride in it. No air conditioner, though, and this was Florida. Interesting to remember how slow a/c was to catch on and we take it for granted now. Love the 50’s cars that remind me of my youth.

My favorite year Cadillac of all time.

lol. shutting the hood sounds like a gun shot.

Yet another great video Lou..one big land yacht...imagine trying to fit this into a garage in the new homes today...wow...keep up the good work Lou...just started watching these as late...will do more...thanks from a fellow gear head...

Cadillacs are back in style! Love these cars! Protect the seats with an easy car seat cover!

Worth well over $100,000

Never turn the camera upside down while filming. It's nauseating to the viewer. Nice video covering a beautiful car otherwise.

Beautiful design from a beautiful time in the USA. Things were far from perfect but compared to today, I would happily give up all the technology I enjoy today to be able to go back to this far simpler time in history.

Best video I ever saw on this fabulous car

Nice car! but the video is kinda F**** up. because you used KZfaq's video stabilizer. every angle has been screwed up.

steering wheel is so thin. must be a teeny tiny air bag ;)

Thank you for the video! Wow!

My dad had a white 59' 2 door hard top caddy Eldorado Biarritz he called it the White Whale, but to me it was like the Bat Mobile because of the fins in the back & those 2 big red fin lighs I remember when I was about 5 or 6 riding in it and it was just such a huge car inside and out , I remember I would lay up in the back window dash and watch the clouds and sky through the window while my parent would go out for a Saturday or Sunday afternoon drive back in the late 6o's and early 70's ,,, oh how I miss that car and the drives my parents I use to go on,,,, those were the days !

Bet it gets 8 mile per gallon of gas

IF THESE GUYS ARE CAR GUYSI'LL KISSME TOCHUS. DUAL RADIATORS WHAT ??ONE WAS THE COOLANT AND THEW OTHER WAS THE EVAPORATOR FOR THE AIR. AND THE COMPRESSOR WAS FOR WHAT?? WAS IT AIR RIDE THEY DIDNT SAY AND I M SURE DIDN T KNOW. DIDN'T POINT 'OUT THE CARBERATION BUT SHOWED THE INSIDE OF AND ASH TRAY??? LEARN A LITTLE FIRST!!

Hi! Thank you For Showing this. I Love All Original Cars 😁Thank You

Awesome! Thanks for sharing it with us.

“Duel radiator” really smh

Please learn how to use a camera. Stop wasting time shooting badges and symbols and shoot the damn car while holding the camera still for a moment..

Beautiful and the color combo is perfect.The quality of the interior is incredible. Cadillac certainly spent less money on interiors by the 1969 model year.

1959 was an incredible year I'll never forget it

My goSsssh..what a stuNNer! I have a 95 and it's a red beauty but man the color and body style of this one are stellar .

One of the prettiest cars ever made.

Man I miss My 59 Caddy mine had 36k Miles original back in 96 before I gave it to my folks before I went in the Navy .... Miss Her

IF THIS CAR WERE RED AND TWO DOOR HARDTOP IT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE ! 1959 CADILLAC ELDORADO .
