Gotham Gold '59 Deluxe Coupe Deville Air Ride 390 V8 A/C Stunner!

Offered here is one of the most iconic designs in American automotive history, presented with a tasteful blend of originality and custom craftsmanship—a 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille like no other. This car is the embodiment of postwar opulence and flamboyant American styling, now enhanced with modern driving comfort and show-worthy custom upgrades. Finished in its factory-correct Gotham Gold (Color Code 40), this Cadillac is not only a visual standout but a rolling piece of art that effortlessly turns heads while delivering a smooth, commanding presence on the road.

Under the hood is the original 390 cubic inch V8, factory rated at 325 horsepower. This powerful engine is paired to the original-type Hydramatic 4-speed automatic transmission, which was just professionally rebuilt, ensuring confident shifts and reliable performance. The drivetrain is mated to a factory 2.94 rear axle ratio, offering excellent cruising capability. A standout feature of this Coupe DeVille is its upgraded Air Ride Technologies suspension. Fully adjustable at all four corners, it comes complete with onboard compressor and control system, allowing you to lower the car for show or raise it for cruising with ease—all while maintaining a smooth, comfortable ride.

This Cadillac is a factory air conditioning car, now upgraded with a modern compressor and converted to R134A refrigerant. It blows cold and enhances the overall driving experience, especially in warm climates. Other luxury options include power steering, power drum brakes, and rare factory features like power vent windows and a six-way power seat. All windows are EZ Eye tinted glass, consistent with the original trim tag codes. According to its body tag, this Coupe DeVille was built at the historic Fleetwood Plant in Detroit—a detail that underscores the car's pedigree as a genuine luxury model in the Cadillac hierarchy.

The exterior color, Gotham Gold, is a pale yellow that gleams under the light and contrasts beautifully with the polished Cadillac hubcaps and wide whitewall tires. The wheels are now wrapped in new 235/75R15 Diamond Back radial tires for improved road manners without sacrificing the vintage look. The engine bay is dressed with color-matched valve covers and air cleaner for a coordinated, custom aesthetic that complements the car's bodywork. The overall stance and finish of this Coupe DeVille exude elegance with a hint of custom flair, especially when the air suspension is lowered for display.

Step inside and you'll find one of the most tastefully executed custom interiors you'll ever see in a '59 Cadillac. Originally trimmed in Fawn Cloth and Leather (Code 45), the interior has been completely reimagined in full custom tan leather. The dashboard, headliner, and even the trunk have been expertly finished in leather with subtle stitching and custom touches throughout. Hidden within the glovebox is a modern sound system with concealed controls, and a discreet subwoofer is mounted in the trunk for added audio presence without disrupting the classic ambiance of the cabin.

Adding to the Cadillac's colorful history is its purported celebrity ownership. This car was previously advertised as having been owned by Jerry Garcia, with the original key still engraved with a “J.” It was also owned by the famed Boyd Coddington Hot Rod Collectibles Shop in California, and the underside of the trunk has been signed by Boyd Coddington's wife, lending a personal touch to the vehicle's provenance. While documentation is limited, these connections add to the mystique and story behind this beautiful DeVille.

This 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille represents a rare opportunity to own a customized, professionally enhanced version of one of the most celebrated automotive designs in history. Combining the timeless drama of its iconic tailfins and Gotham Gold exterior with the drivability of modern upgrades like air ride suspension, cold A/C, a rebuilt transmission, and custom sound, this Cadillac is both show-ready and roadworthy. It's a car to be admired, driven, and celebrated—rolling Americana at its absolute finest.
