When I was 9 years old a family friend bought 1959 Convertable. He knew I loved cars and would take me on rides with the top down. That car is so amazing! The huge fins were about the largest fins made I think. The 1960 Caddy was much different. If I had money Id buy one of these cars. A very great memory of my childhood. The world was so very different back then. Im glad I grew up in the 50s and 60s into the 70s.
BEAUTIFUL CAR! I HAD A BLACK ONE THAT BELONGED TO LORETTA YOUNG, I USE TO DRIVE IT TO HIGH SCHOOL, SOLD IT FOR 1100.00 IN 1976. WHAT A MISTAKE... THANKS FOR THE MEMORY...
We had a series 62 coupe. No AC or power windows. Black with black/silver fabric, black carpet, and white vinyl. $4500. I passed my driving test in it. Lots of room under the hood. Easy to maintain.
I didn't even watch the video, I just paused it in the first second and stared at that car. It is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I want one of those cars more than anything in the whole world.
@tyoung9624 The speaker and "electronic device" in the back is a subwoofer and amplifier for it. A subwoofer is a bass speaker that plays only the deepest tones, and since so low tones go rigt through the back seat and trunk upholstery it can be situated in the trunk. Will really juice up your music and give it new life, but make sure the other speakers match. Also make sure everything is correctly adjusted. You get devices now allowing the use of original AM radios with newer eqpt.See redi-rad.
Hi .. one correction at 1:06 says 275 HP but they were actually 325 HP - and the optional tri power engines that produced 345 HP. There were no engines producing 275 HP in the 1959 models.
when I was a kid, my neighbors Nephew and his new wife would come my in their Red 59 Convertible, it was years ago, I must have been about 4 but I still remember it, but I think it had a black top
Not 275 hp, but 325...and why is everyone so worried about an FM radio? FM was in its infancy in 1959. Mostly, all you could receive was similcasted from AM.
***** yes those are the right hubcaps. My Aunts friend had a 63 Cad Convertible, got, it new, but it didn't have Air either, but the car was bought new in the SF bay area and didn't need it there, when she moved to Northern California with our hot summers, she added a 71 Coupe DeVille with air and laughed she had one for hot days and one for cool days, she sold the Convertible in the 80's and got more for it then than she paid for it new
+George Keyser I believe this is the real deal as most coupe conversions 1) don't have a real top due to requiring extra reinforcement pieces welded inside the body, the floor and even the chassis, 2) most have a small section of the roof left to reinforce the windshield frame as the coupe frame is not strong enough to hold a standalone windshield in place. The chrome trim is also the correct Series 62 and also has the correct interior which are different from the Series 62 coupes. So true conversions are very costly and time consuming.... I have seen some people that did the complete conversion but those were very costly and time consuming so most conversions are simply a roof cut off, no functioning top and incorrect interior.
***** Hi George, great to hear you also owned some before, these cars are a true creation of art from a time when car manufacturers placed a lot of emphasis on styling. I too own two of them right now, a Series 62 Sedan and a real Series 62 convertible that I am restoring. Yes true conversions are very difficult because even the chassis has extra pieces welded on them for better support so most people just simply cut the tops off. These cars are however very easy to recognize. I too have seen a coupe of true conversions done so really only the VIN would tell if it's an 'F', or a converted 'J' or 'G' model. Would love to see a picture of all 15 of your Cads lined up! :)

I agree. I am 67 years old and I owned a 1967 Caddy convertible.

You and your partner have such a lovely beauty! This is my favorite color combo.
Gorgeous car. A true automobile icon
I can remember seeing a '59 convertible for sale in the late 70's for £1500

I don't like American cars but this really makes me stare at it, drool and then add it to my car list.
Beautiful car; too bad you couldn't find someone with a steady hand to hold the camera.
