History

The 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, designed under Harley Earl, is one of the most iconic cars of the Jet Age, famous for its towering tailfins and bullet-style taillights. As part of Cadillac’s third-generation DeVille series, it reflected 1950s luxury and excess, powered by a 390-cubic-inch V8 producing 325 hp. Its dramatic styling was inspired by aviation, with chrome accents and a sleek, low-slung body. This model marked the peak of Cadillac’s bold designs before shifting to a more restrained look in the 1960s. A symbol of prestige, it remains a favorite among collectors for its unmistakable presence.
