The 59 is one of my most favorite Cadillacs. I've never been intimidated by the size of the car or its fins. Maybe because I took the time to find out how this and the entire GM divisions came to be put into production in 1959. However at the end of the day I am just a Car Crazy Cadillac fan till the day I die. Glad I checked this 📹 out!

My parents had a '59 Cad. It was so big, they couldn't close the garage door; it had dimples on it from resting on the points of those fins. It was probably the gaudiest car GM ever made, but it was so comfortable. Our family of four could drive all the way from L.A. to Las Vegas on a summer day in comfort. And all our luggage fit in that huge trunk.

Chris Allen My Dad was a welder and my mom was a housewife. They paid $4500 cash for our base model two door coupe. They kept it until 1972, when they traded it with 52K mikes for a four door mid size Buick. The Buick was a nice driving car. The Cadillac was distinguished mostly for its size and design. The Cadillac was garaged and kept immaculate by me and my Dad.

The 59 was always my favorite growing up. Now that I’m older it’s still top 5 but I think I may have to put it behind the slightly more muted style of the 61/62 bodies. Hard to say, those fins are just amazing.

I was 13 years old in 1959. Back then a lot of oider people drove cadillacs. A lot of them felt that the 59 cadillac was such an embaressment. Also people that had one were constantly having the taillights stolen. It was the epitomy of the 50s. Note the 60 and 61 were more subdued. I love it thanks for the presentation

Another long-time fave. I used to work in the GM building, where a 1959 Eldorado Biarritz convertible was on permanent display in the lobby (top down). I visited it every day on my lunch hour. One day I took a measuring tape with me and noted the fins were 13" tall. 1959 and 1960 Plymouth (full size) fins were 12" tall. 1960 Chrysler & DeSoto fins were 13" also, but slanted and much thicker, so you didn't realize how big they really were. All great cars.

I remember my mother had a 59 red convertible like this but with solid red interior in 1965 and only paid 250.00 for it. Back then it was just a 6 year old used car and not the holy grail it is today. I also remember it was side swiped on 15th Street in Washington, DC and she never retrieved it from the towing yard. Even as a 10 year old I loved that car. To this day the 59 is still my dream car. What I wouldn't give to have one now.

Her mother's '59 Coupe deVille. Oh, absolutely! :) Her mother was short and could barely see over the dash. Actually I was more of a driver for the girl who was really, shall we say, popular with the boys who spent my driving time through SE CO and NE NM with her BF du jour in the back seat. Loved driving that car.

GM's '59's were a knee jerk reaction to Chrysler Corp's 1957's. This is why GM's '58's were a one year only redesign. The story goes the head of GM got a hold of Chrysler's new car brochure, threw it on the desk of his head designer and said, "Why don't you quit?"

I'm 20 years old and I remember the day my mother and I went to the vehicle toy section of Müller to buy my favourite American 1950s car: A pink 1959 Cadillac which I still have, though it's partially fallen apart from me playing with it a lot in my younger years (missing bullet shape tail lights, wipers and chrome part next to the boot broke off and loose sun visors and windscreen) Then came the 2017 Piston Riot meeting in the capital city where I and my parents encountered a *real* 1959 Cadillac, registered in the capital city despite the fact 1950s American cars are very rare in Europe.

The jury is still out on whether the '59 Cadillac or the '61 Chrysler Imperial had the biggest fins. That aside, Wow! What a car! Thanks for including this one, Lou.

@@loucostabile : LOL. We were having that debate over on my car club's website and it's kind of a subjective thing. If you grade by length, the '57-'58 Desoto has them all beat. That fin ran from the rear tip all the way down to the top of the front door! For height, yes, the '59 Caddy. For width, the '61 Imperial. Totally a subjective thing. One thing, though --- fins were COOL!

I think this is worthy meaning of life to have and drive , earn up money and buy that car, even girlfriends and wives are not so reliable as this car, this car never leave you and never trait you .(if some moron going to condemn and criticize for my opinion, I don't give a damn). If my life ain't going to be like that, don't call me to this world. P.S: ugly rusty bucket, with vegetable weak shit "engine" (about 1-2liters), some kind of Honda Civic, or Hyndai Accent, Saab, Opel Omega, Hyndai Solaris, Nissan Murano and Nissan Almera, life with buckets like that, doesn't look like good and happy

I had the honour to restore a 59 4 door -the owner bought it in Montana trailered to Ontario Canada and I worked on it for over a year . It seemed to be never ending ,length wise .When I was younger ,I thought it was vain to record my doing those things ,but that was a mistake in hindsight I guess. Great videos Lou. Thanx.

In the early 60s there was a toy called a Playmobile. It was the dash of a car with a windshield. Seeing the dash in this Cadillac I would say it was the inspiration for that toy.
