1959 Cadillac Restoration

1959 Cadillac Restoration by CPR

The elaborately-designed grille, loads of shiny chrome, opulent interior and those audacious tail fins are all elements that add up to one of the most iconic classic cars of the 1950s. That being, of course, the 1959 Cadillac.

When new, the car was favorite of celebrities and over the years became immortalized in pop culture.

1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

Featured in film, song, advertising and the arts, the luxurious behemoth is today a highly collectible classic with top-of-the-line Eldorado Biarritz models selling for lofty prices at auction.

The low-production numbers make 1959 Cadillac restoration an expensive proposition. Restorable examples are difficult to come by and parts sourcing, particularly for Eldorados, can be exhausting. Of course, the sheer size of the car translates into much more body/paint work and materials. Even the expansive interior makes for more billable hours and more yards of expensive material to match the original specs.

With dozens of 1959 Cadillac projects under their belt, the experienced Cadillac Parts & Restoration (CPR) technicians have the skills and knowledge to correctly restore this, or any, classic Cadillac. Just as important, their decades of service to the classic Cadillac community allow them to more easily source rare parts.

One example of their prowess is the white 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville pictured. This car has been

meticulously maintained throughout its life and came to CPR for a partial restoration. The result is a car that's earned First Place recognition at the nation's most prestigious classic car events including AACA and Cadillac & LaSalle Club Grand National meets, GoodGuys East Coast Nationals and multiple concours-level shows.

This car is a perfect example of the primary motivator driving classic car restoration - sentimental value.

Passed down from father to son, this Cadillac was a source of pride to its original owner and its continued care is how a son honors his father's memory.
