The car's Owner is Steve Plunkett. Steve’s had this car since 2004. Steve shares he loves the styling of this car. This one also has optional bucket seats.
ENJOY!
Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou
I'll tell you a sad story. Around 1968 I was riding with my mom in her '57 Chrysler Saratoga. We saw a little sports car with huge tail fins and pulled over to talk to the owner.
I told him I had never seen such a car and wanted to know what it was.
He told me it was an Alpha Romeo. He found and old Cadillac in a junkyard, cut the fins off and welded them on to the Alpha.
Even at the age of 14 years, I was horrified.
i was just having joke with some that in britain they get the iconic word in within seconds. it took you 3:20 to get it in
Thank you for excellent video. I'm 53 years old and I don't remember ever seeing one these cars. Kind of looks like the 60's era bat mobile...
I keep seeing "buy super thanks". What does that mean exactly?? Does it mean "buy super 93 octane gasoline"?? Does it mean any other kind of "super"?? Asking for a friend.
Nothing says Cadillac more than this car. It is absolutely flawless. That car should be winning awards at car shows.
"It is absolutely flawless." High praise.
As a Brit, a million miles from any car here. I just love this, absolutely beautiful in every way. Imagine driving this around in UK, and leaving people speechless everywhere you go, just fabulous!

Subscribed, a comment on YT deserves zero credit, this is one beautiful 59, black on black the most difficult to get really right, this car nails it, just jaw dropping. My lowly b on b c4 corvette (good but not this good) pails in comparison…
I can tell you, at 55 years old, being raised in the midwest, you have absolutely no idea what it's like to grow up here. Even coming here and becoming a citizen later, there's no comparison. Knowing every night you go to bed and every morning you wake up, you were born in this country, and you're actually here, is a blessing that's nearly indescribable. And these cars are a tangible reminder of that experience.
Another Brit here and yes I agree…if ever I won the lottery I would have to have one of these
Speechless with rage I should think after having to reverse half a mile to let it pass😮
My favorite Cadillac of all time! These cars were rolling masterpieces of design and engineering. So glad Steve has these cars, and even more grateful that he allowed you to film these special vehicles. Special thank you to Steve and Lou!
"My favorite Cadillac of all time!" WINNER! You're welcome John!
Same year Elizabeth Taylor stepped out of the surf in white 1-piece bathing suit in Suddenly, Last Summer, peaks for both!
True!!! Today terrible !!
Classic. One of the ugliest contraptions ever marketed. Hence it's charm.
@@Mrbfgray Biggest, hence its harm.
What an absolutely incredible example of a patently GORGEOUS convertible from Cadillac...FANTASTIC !!
High praise.
By far, these are the most beautiful automotive tailfins ever. Truly iconic. This is my favourite vehicle from Steve Plunkett's incredible collection!
Thank you Lou, and thank you Steve, for allowing us to see so many fine cars!
"By far, these are the most beautiful automotive tailfins ever. Truly iconic. This is my favourite vehicle from Steve Plunkett's incredible collection!" High praise....and some high fins too :-) You're welcome Mike.
Steve is such a wonderful caretaker of his automobiles. It's great that he drives them and doesn't just "trailer queen" them.
"When you can check your taillights in the rear view mirror." Priceless!
I like he drives them too :-) ""When you can check your taillights in the rear view mirror." Priceless!" NICE!
Absolutely stunning. No more words can do that justice. Black on black, that’s the finest ‘59 I’ve seen.

This isn't a car. It's a work of art. Man, how they don't make cars like this anymore. I would be scared to drive this car
out in public. It should be in a museum. Thanks for sharing this blast from the past.

Amazing piece of Art. Wow. Just beautiful.
High praise.
It is definitely the most iconic Cadillac. Just gorgeous.❤💯👍
High praise.
@@loucostabile They are so magnificently and ostentatiously vulgar ... I've always loved big American cars
I was born in 1959, so I’ve always loved this year Cadillac!
Happy to read you and this Cadillac share the same birth year. NICE!
It came out in 1958. Your birth Cadillac is the still GLAM 1960 model. Sadly I am screwed with the very ugly 1961 model.
I was born in May '57, when all 5 GM divisions were close to completion on the "crash re-do" of their '59 cars after it was determined (in the Summer of '56), the facelifted '58s would not work at all upon seeing the sleek and finned '57s from Chrysler. It was already too late to change the '58s, but there was time to re-do the '59s, which the designers finished in the nick of time.
@@viciouspoodle5543 I'm a bit kinder to the '61 Cadillac, and really like the '61 Pontiac and Buick. The Chevy was clever in transitioning away from the horizontal fins of '58-'60 retaining the branching-out style, but with a ridge that wrapped around to the sides. The only one I didn't like (except for the Starfire) that year was the Oldsmobile. I didn't care for the '60 Olds either. It wasn't ugly, but was plain and boring. It also had NO hood or fender ornament at all. Fortunately it did return again for another several years.
I was born in 2003,-the Z generation)), and the 59-61 eldorado is my fav from dorados, the Last 12th gen of eldorado (92-02) is so ugly, and the modern "Cadillacs" with the Chinese details is so gay, lol...
1959 the year I was born. Maximum fins, maximum chrome. What a car!
Happy to read you and this car have the same birth year :-) Glad to read "What a car!" NICE!
Even if it were possible to forget the rest of this car, that windshield alone is a masterpiece.
Thank you for sharing what you notice :-)
Awesome doesn't even begin to describe this car from the year of my birth. Steve is such a great custodian of all the cars in his collection. Thank you Lou for bringing this to us.
Hi Rick, Happy to read "Awesome doesn't even begin to describe this car from the year of my birth" :-) And this one is the same year you were born...NICE! You're welcome, Lou
Well, I'm pretty sure I was drooling during this video. What a fantastic Cadillac that is an icon of the classic car community! Mr. Plunkett is such a gracious host and always has something interesting for us to learn about and enjoy. Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, "Well, I'm pretty sure I was drooling during this video" NICE! My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, Lou
When I was a teenager, I dreamed of owning one of these, in silver, inspired by a Cadillac ad. To me it was the ultimate 50s car. I would have kept it at the beach in my ocean front beach house and would have driven it while there on vacation. Hey, when you dream, dream big. That big dream never came true, but it's still nice to recall it when I see this car. So thanks, Lou, for showing us this stunning Eldorado Biarritz.
Hi Jonathan NC, Happy to read "When I was a teenager, I dreamed of owning one of these, in silver, inspired by a Cadillac ad. To me it was the ultimate 50s car" NICE! This is a BIG DREAM, and my pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou

WOW! The 59 Biarritz has long been my favorite modern era Cadillac. I've always been a huge fan of red, but this black is incredible. The paint just compliments the over the top design. Incredible!

Remember when Cadillacs existed and were truly special. Now we have Cadihacks that are hideous, bloated boxes on wheels, and have become golf carts that look like cockroaches. Truly delightful car, Lou! Black always makes a car look great and this is so well set off with the chrome. It is total excess and I love it! t/hanks for sharing, Lou!
Hi ultraviolet tp, Happy to read "Truly delightful car" :-) "It is total excess and I love it!" Me too. You're welcome, Lou
It’s not as practical as a new Cadillac but it does have more character
The Cadillac division puts real effort into one vehicle: the CT5-V Blackwing. That thing is a marvel of performance and handling.
Standard of the world!
When you think of iconic American cars, the 59 Caddys are instantly recognizable worldwide. That says something! This example is outstanding! Thx for the treat!
My pleasure sharing this "iconic American car" with you :-)
The most GLAMOROUS car EVER made!
High praise.
I was 5 years old when this car came out. THESE and other flamboyant cars of this era are what made me a car nut. THESE are the rolling works of art, science, and engineering which are worth preserving and celebrating as representative of the pinnacle of the US car industry!

Elegant. Iconic. Timeless. A moving masterpiece
Well said. High praise.
Cadillac essentially put every option imaginable on this stunning work of art. From the paint to the chrome, this vehicle simply drips with luxury. I must say, I really thought the engine would be mammoth, but surprisingly it seems almost petite when considering the size of this cruiser. Positively gorgeous. Those fins and lights make you prepare for “blast off”.

Hi, Lou! Well, here it is, the Granddaddy Caddy, the ultimate in motoring majesty! You and I both noticed how the cardinals just couldn't stop singing about this one! Thanks to you and Steve for taking us along on this opulent, outrageous black gold ride (and you'll need plenty of Texas tea)!

One of the true industrial icons of the 20th century. For many years the '59 Cadillacs were treated like the outrageous exemplification of mid-century American excess and bad taste - but today we admire them as amongst the most wonderful examples of American creativity and artistry. They Biarritz model was the top-of-the-line variant - and what a beautiful thing it is.
Happy to read "what a beautiful thing it is." :-) NICE!
This car just radiates class. A beautiful sight to behold.

What a tugboat! Beautiful car. In the good days, when one could tell one car brand from another! Gone forever 😩
"What a tugboat!" ALL ABOARD! :-) Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
This is truly a beautiful car. I have a 1965 Cadillac DeVille convertible and just recently bought a 1961 Cadillac DeVille convertible. That one has the fins but the 65 doesn't. I'm looking forward to driving that 61 around this summer. There's nothing that gets a car more attention than the fins and Cadillac did it every time.
Hi georl1, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Glad to read you have two fun Cadillacs. NICE!

It’s crazy that actually was a car. I remember as a 7 year old I saw one of these park up the street one Saturday morning. I just hovered around it for a while. The fins and taillights, they actually seem bigger now then back when I was 7.

Another great episode, Lou. I was very young when cars of this era were on the streets in Brooklyn. Remember being dwarfed by the sheer size of these behemoths!
Hi Richard, You're right, this is a "behemoth" of a car :-) Thanks for sharing, Lou
'Special Interest Autos', a branch of Hemmings, did an article on a white one of these a few decades ago and also said 99 bucket seat models were made. They were supposed to be less comfortable than the bench seat models, because they did not tilt, and sat abnormally close to the floor. This forced peoples' legs straight out in front. I've always wondered whether it was possible to replace the flimsy plastic back window with some form of glass one. Beautiful example.

"This thing should almost be illegal to be on the road...it should be in a museum" High praise MisterMasterShafter1
@@loucostabile Yup....It takes up the room of TWO normal sized cars and should be permanantly placed in a bus or railroad museum!
The Batmobile comes to mind. And the feeling that it might fly, or take off - those fins are extraordinary.

Ahoy big bro Lou! WOW. First off-could you picture me knocked out 😵, sans floppy sneakers (blown off) and slung over one of those rear fins, man? My white tube socked stocking lightweight JV baseball jock calves 'n feet limply dangling? How's that for a JV Johnny branding, Lou? Then from the fin to over a guy's shoulder 🤣🤪. This Cadillac is outrageous and completely in your face. The oily black paint and top indeed make it look like the Grim Reaper's steed, but that just adds to it's awesomeness. As it "accelerated" it just went forward, like a somewhat cumbersome land barge, in no rush to go anywhere lol 😜, but happy to have folks stare and wave. A great piece of post War American history right there, Lou. Thanks big bro! JV Johnny ⚾⚾😵
Hey JV Johnny, Happy to have you aboard! We're keeping you inside the car as the fins are waxed and too slippery to hold onto. This one's a floater, so no KO hear, just smooth sailing :-) You're welcome, Lou
I can remember Mom getting a ride home in a metallic pinkish purple one in 1959. Never forgot those fins.
Like this one? th-cam.com/video/EIODTzSB2v0/w-d-xo.html
One of the most beautiful cars ever produced, in my opinion.
High praise.
Someone once called the '59 Caddy "the epitome of garish excess"... so true ! But I always loved them and still do.... I guess "excess" can be beautifully executed (unlike the '58 Olds and Buick). This specimen is awesome.
Hi Peter, "This specimen is awesome." High praise :-) Lou
That is just extraordinarily beautiful. Wow!

The 50's Icon...nuff said...Thanks Steve and Lou.
NICE! You're welcome CJ Design.
CJ, when you said “the 50’s icon”, you knocked it out of the park. It truly WAS representative of 1950’s auto design - and even excess! But whether you liked it or not, it was THE icon!
Beautiful car. It harkens back to the glory days of Detroit automotive manufacturing.

Another one of the late 50s cars that had distinction and a memory for me. My dad‘s friend Johnny Damiani had a white one and I used to ride in the backseat with his daughter Sheila, who was my friend. He would drive it or his wife, my aunt Shirley would drive it too. I remember I was fascinated by the tail lights and how they looked like twin rockets. Later on in life, I read an article about Harley Earl, the chief designer at GM and the 59 year was his Swan song as he was leaving GM. He especially wanted to leave an imprimatur of 50s auto design flamboyance in the Cadillac by designing the tail lights, which he called Dagmar’s… Specifically because of a certain TV personality at the time and her “attributes“ :-).
HI Angela, Happy to read this car brings back memories of Johnny Damiani's car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Another beautiful Caddy from Steve Plunket.
Hi Mike, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Stay tuned, Steve has more to share, Lou
Absolutely beautiful car. I've learned a great deal just from this video and the Bob Hope caddy vid. These vehicles were way ahead of their time in terms of technology that's for sure. I had no idea they had all these high tech accoutrements on them. Thanks Lou!
Happy to read "Absolutely beautiful car." :-) Glad to read you learned something from the video. I'm learning all the time, and I find that to be so much fun. You're welcome Steve!
