1959 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe - Amazing Survivor - Only 62k Original Miles - MINT - SOLD
Introduction and History:
Presenting a magnificent 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe, finished in its original Gotham Gold paint with a Fawn Mojave Cloth interior. This car is a true survivor—remarkably preserved, unmolested, and garage-kept since new. Originally a Washington car, it has spent the last few years in sunny Tucson, AZ. The last two long-term owners cherished this piece of American automotive history, accumulating only 62K pampered original miles. Few classic cars drive as smoothly as a low-mileage, original Cadillac.
This is undoubtedly one of the finest original ’59 Cadillacs available today. It still features most of its original Gotham Gold paint, complemented by stunning, all-original chrome and trim. The interior is in mint condition, showcasing a showroom-fresh dash and gauge cluster. With its numbers-matching 390ci V8, this Cadillac is not just a visual masterpiece but also a smooth, reliable cruiser. The previous owner spared no expense maintaining its mechanical integrity, even fitting it with five new whitewall radial tires. It has been enjoyed on multiple trips from Tucson to Phoenix for car shows and always performed flawlessly.
