1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville 390CI V8 with 325 HP and matching numbers, located in the Netherlands, a full restoration project with a non-running engine and potential extensive damage.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The 1959 model year is without a doubt the most sought-after and collectible year of Cadillac. The spectacular fins – higher and more extreme than in any other year – were a highlight in automotive design and are often seen as the ultimate example of the “Jet Age” style.
Here an original specimen is offered that lends itself perfectly to a full restoration. The car is complete and features matching numbers, which makes it even more interesting for serious collectors and restorers.
This vehicle concerns a full restoration project and both visually and technically requires a complete restoration. The engine does not currently run and there is a lot of welding work required. For an enthusiast or specialist, however, this offers a unique opportunity to bring one of the most iconic Cadillacs ever back to life.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
