Partial 1959 Cadillac Restoration Goes Home

1959 Cadillac Restoration Project Goes Home

Big-finned Cadillacs are a typical scene at Cadillac Parts & Restoration (CPR) and the 1959 model year seems to be ever present. The latest 1959 Cadillac restoration project to leave CPR and be sent home is this ravishing red classic. Not a complete, down-to-the-bolts restoration, but a great example of CPR's mission of working within the desires and budget of a car's owner and ensuring a beautiful driving and looking classic car.

            1959 Cadillac Coupe deVille

Like all CPR customers the owner of this vehicle is passionate about his classic Cadillac and didn't desire a concours-level vehicle. Rather, the goal was to focus on vital components of the car that needed attention.

Work performed included: completely rebuilt engine including restoration and detailing of bolt-on components; engine compartment restoration from the firewall to the bumper brackets; brakes, suspension, steering and cooling systems all restored; new radial tires and a brand new interior (minus dash and steering wheel).

Just as important to CPR as producing show-winning restored Cadillacs is keeping surviving examples running and looking fantastic. Based upon comments from the car’s happy owner, we hit it out of the park with this 1959 Cadillac restoration project. Here’s what he had to say about the final product:

“Frank, Elsa, and team did absolutely outstanding work. They are artists. The many many items of work they did has brought the car to showroom new. Engine is stronger then before and purrs like a sewing machine. Interior: my God. It puts every single new car of the past 30 years to absolute shame.”

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.
