1959 Cadillac Eldorado Seville

Joe & Rita Puleo

(click on thumbnail for larger image)

This car was built on February 24, 1959 and was shipped to a dealer in Los Angeles, CA.  There were only 975 Sevilles produced, which makes it one of the lowest production models that year.  This one has every option and carried a sticker price of $8,305.10  That was as much as four, full-sized Chevrolets.

The car was fully restored in 1995 and is a CLC Senior.  It was entered in the AACA Hershey Meet in 1995, the CLC Grand National Meets (Senior Class) in 1995, 1998, 1999, 2003, and 2008 and won First Place in all six meets.  This vehicle was also awarded the prestigious Radnor Award at the Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance in 2008. 

In 1999, the Franklin Mint used this actual car as a model to produce a 1:24 scale precision replica. They copied the car exactly, including the red and white colors. It was a limited edition and only 5,900 were produced.
