Few cars capture the bold spirit of 1950s America like the Cadillac Eldorado Seville, and this freshly restored 1959 example is a reminder of when style, power, and prestige defined the open road.
One of just 975 Eldorado Sevilles built that year, this car represents the pinnacle of Cadillac’s design era — a time when fins reached skyward, chrome gleamed endlessly, and luxury knew no restraint. Finished in Seminal Red with a matching red-and-white genuine leather interior, the coupe exudes presence. Every inch has been restored to show-quality condition, from its mirror-gloss paint to the flawless chrome that wraps around its dramatic lines.
Under the hood lies a numbers-matching 390-cubic-inch V8 with a tri-power carburetor setup, producing 345 horsepower. The engine has been meticulously maintained and recently serviced, alongside a rebuilt transmission and a long list of new mechanical components including brakes, exhaust, and fuel system. The car has been converted from its original air suspension to more reliable coil springs, ensuring confident drivability without sacrificing comfort.
Inside, the cabin offers the same glamour that once defined Cadillac showrooms. Genuine leather upholstery, restored brightwork, and factory power features — including windows, seats, and trunk release — all function as they did in 1959. The dash and gauges remain crisp and correct, while the original radio and antenna have been rebuilt and fully operational. Even the factory air conditioning system remains intact and complete.
The Eldorado’s combination of power, craftsmanship, and show-stopping style make it one of the most collectible American classics on the market today. With fewer than a thousand built, and even fewer surviving in this condition, it represents Cadillac’s golden age — a period when automobiles were as much art as engineering.
This particular example, offered from Scottsdale, Arizona, stands ready for concours display or cross-country cruising, serving as a living tribute to an era when luxury was measured not by subtlety, but by spectacle.
