Summary
From Bring a Trailer
This 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille was acquired by the seller 17 years ago, reportedly from an auto museum in Arkansas. Finished in white over a turquoise interior, the car is powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a four-speed Hydramatic transmission and is equipped with air conditioning, power windows, an electric front bench seat, and an AM/FM radio. Work performed by the seller is said to have included refreshment of the underside and engine bay.
More details
This Coupe DeVille is now being offered with a car cover, service manual, three boxes of spare parts, records from the seller, and a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name. Originally finished in Dover White (12), the exterior reportedly received a two-stage repaint some time ago during prior ownership. Features include chrome bumpers and trim and a single side mirror.
Flaws noted by the seller include chips along the door edges, trunk lip, and a corner of the hood, dents on the rear window molding, and chips and scrapes underneath the bumpers. Stock 15” steel wheels wear chrome Cadillac wheel covers and are wrapped in wide whitewall tires. The cabin is trimmed in turquoise vinyl with black cloth centers along with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets.
The seller has reportedly rebuilt the factory AM radio and added FM internals. A light-sensing Autronic Eye is mounted atop the dashboard, however the seller notes that the car is not equipped with auto-dimming headlights. The vent window switch in the driver-side door is reportedly mounted upside-down, and the power seat motor operates slowly.
A turquoise two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and fronts a horizontal 120-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature along with an analog clock. The five-digit odometer shows just under 68k miles, approximately 1,200 of which have been added by the seller, though total mileage is unknown. A video of the clock in operation can be seen here .
The engine bay was reportedly refreshed by the seller and houses a 390ci V8 that was factory-rated at 325 horsepower. An oil change was performed in 2019, and the A/C system was re-charged and fitted with a replacement receiver/drier. The harmonic balancer is said to be out-of-balance and the seller believes this to be the cause of a vibration at idle.
A video of the engine running can be seen here . Decoding the Fisher body tag reveals the following information: 59 – 1959 model year 6337 – Deluxe DeVille Coupe (2 dr. ) 47 – Turquoise/black leather/cloth 12 – Dover white exterior color E – EZ eye glass H – Heater K – Air conditioning N – Power vent window regulators Y – Electric six-way control seat Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed Hydramatic automatic transmission, and the seller reports that the chassis has been re-lubricated.
