1959 CADILLAC ELDORADO 'SEVILLE' SPORT COUPE ~ SORRY, JUST SOLD!!
We have been searching for an Eldorado Coupe for years but, each time fate would intervene and another admirer beat us to the punch. Finally we captured this beauty about 3 years ago for Museum display. This is not just the "Holy Grail of All Cadillac's" but, "The Crown Jewel" or the "Holy Hand Grenade" / Ultimate 'YANK TANK' that blows all of the Standard issue Cadillac's out of the box. It is the Cadillac Eldorado Seville Sport Coupe. To put it into perspective: if you thought the Eldorado Biarritz Convertibles were "rare" ( 1,320 made).. for the same price 'new' you could have had the Eldorado "Seville" Sport Coupe (only 975 built)! This beauty is finished in the year's most popular color "Persian Sand" with mint ORIGINAL White Vinyl Top and corresponding Pink & Mauve original Leather Interior. Both Convertible and Sport Coupe posted window stickers at $7401 plus options ($8451 as seen). That was the cost of more than THREE 1959 Chevrolet Impala's (@$2,717 each). There weren't a lot of options that year as many items came as 'Standard Equipment'. [Reference: actual '59 Showroom Brochures, '59 Cadillac Accessories Catalog & the Standard Guide to Cadillac Book]. Those STANDARD Features were: the exclusive Eldorado (stainless) Beltline Side Chrome, a Vinyl Top (yes, vinyl top), 390/ 345 h.p.V8 w/ Triple carburetion (3-2's), Automatic Transmission, Air Suspension ( which was replaced on most by dealer recall), Electric Door Locks, Two-Way Power Seat, Electric Windows, Remote Trunk Release, Heater, Signal Seeking AM Radio w/ Automatic Antenna & One Speaker, Wide Whitewall Tires, Foglamps, 3:21 Rear Differential, "Special " Unique Hubcaps, and Fender Skirts. Plus, they also had as Standard Equipment; Power Brakes, Power Steering, 2-Speed Windshield Washers, Vanity Mirror One Drivers Side Rearview Mirror, and Dual Back-Up Lights. Incidentally, Bucket seats were an option but, AT NO COST EXTRA! (only 99 of those made the cut). OPTIONAL Accessories were: Power vent Windows, Air Conditioning, Radio Foot Control, Autronic Eye [headlamp beam control], Passenger Door Rearview Mirror, Seatbelts, Mats,Spare Tire Cover, SIX-way Power Seats, License Plate frames, and Power vent Windows - "Persian Sand" was a Special Order Color. ALL of which this Eldorado carries! The only thing it lacks was the problematic Cruise control, and 2nd Rear Seat Speaker.
This car came out of Ojai, California ( original Black California Plates w/car) and sat in a private collection for over 27 years with the 2nd owner in Detroit or, at his Ft. Lauderdale, FL. home. The caring owner lavished this car in 'whatever it needed' and even took an annual trip from his home to visit N.Y. every year since his purchase. "Investment Grade", in #2 Cond.: 1st QUARTER N.A.D.A Collectible Guide has placed this car w/ documentation at over $120,000. We have dedicated this car for display in our Museum in memory of the legend of the late, great 'Elvis Presley' (ALL ITEMS FOR MUSEUM DISPLAY @ EXTRA COST)*. Sorry, Just Sold @ $150.000 USD
