1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible With Iconic Tail Fins For Sale At $...
My expert opinion and pricing analysis on the offer
This 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible in Georgian Blue over blue leather is currently live on Bring a Trailer, with a bid of $70,000 and 3 days remaining. It's a beautifully presented example of what many consider the most flamboyant production car ever built, wearing its factory correct Georgian Blue paint (refinished in 2005, with original paint still visible in the door jambs), a power-operated white soft top, and blue leather upholstery.
According to Classic.com, the average sale price for a sixth-generation Cadillac Series 62 (1959 to 1960) is $86,248, with recorded sales ranging from $5,100 to $330,000. Hagerty values a No. 2-condition 1959 Series 62 Convertible at $182,000, while a No. 3 example is valued at $119,000. Classics on Autotrader places the average asking price for a 1959 Series 62 specifically at approximately $143,377, with listings ranging from $100,000 to $225,000. The most recent auction result from Bonhams in January 2026 saw a 1959 Series 62 sell for $123,200.
At $70,000 with three days remaining, this auction has significant room to climb. My prediction is a final hammer price in the $95,000 to $130,000 range, depending on how aggressively bidders pursue it in the final hours. The Georgian Blue on blue color combination is cohesive and attractive; the equipment list includes desirable options like the Autronic-Eye headlight dimmer and cruise control, and the overall presentation appears honest and well-sorted.

1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible listing details
On the outside, this Series 62 wears Georgian Blue paint code 24, which was refinished in 2005 to match the factory specification. The original paint remains visible in the door jambs, confirming the car's original color. A power-operated white soft top replaces the original ivory unit, joined by a color-matched blue top boot that maintains the monochromatic theme. The exterior is complemented by chrome bumpers and trim throughout, quad headlights, dual side mirrors, and those absolutely massive tail fins with their integrated dual bullet taillights that define the 1959 Cadillac silhouette. Steel 15-inch wheels wear polished covers and are mounted with period-correct whitewall tires.
Under the hood sits the 390 cubic inch V8, rated at 325 horsepower and 430 lb ft of torque when new. The carburetor was rebuilt in 2025, and power routes to the rear wheels through a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Power steering and power-assisted drum brakes handle the chassis duties, which is important given the car's nearly 20-foot length and substantial curb weight.
Inside, the bench seats have been reupholstered in blue Leeds Grain leather per the original trim code 23 specification. The front bench is power adjustable, and other appointments include power windows, cruise control, and a push-button AM radio. The two-tone steering wheel fronts a horizontal 120 mph speedometer with coolant temperature and fuel level readouts. An Autronic-Eye automatic headlight dimmer sits on the dashboard, an early automatic high beam system that dims the headlights when it detects oncoming traffic or city lights. The body plate confirms the car's original specification: Series 62 convertible, Fleetwood body, Georgian Blue paint, and ivory soft top from the factory.
1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible quick take
The 1959 Cadillac is the automotive equivalent of a fever dream, the moment when Detroit's designers were given unlimited creative freedom and decided to see just how far they could push the envelope. This particular Series 62 Convertible presents well in its Georgian Blue on blue specification, a color combination available from the factory that looks appropriately dramatic in sunlight. Yes, there are some fluid drips from a 67-year-old drivetrain, and yes, the steering has the typical vagueness of vintage power assist systems. But this is a car you buy to cruise, to show, and to experience a moment in automotive history that will never be repeated.
