When the brand name "Cadillac" was first used for an automobile, it was a reference to a French explorer associated with the Michigan area. By 1959, however, the word Cadillac had come to mean the very highest quality, not only in automobiles, but in any product. The challenge for Cadillac was to strive continually to produce a better car. When the 1959 Cadillac was unveiled, it took Cadillac excellence a few levels higher.
Sleeker than any previous Cadillac, the '59 model rode close to the ground like a sports car. This spacious vehicle stretched a majestic 225 inches in overall length. The long, low design enhanced handling and stability. The interior added to the Convertible's cache as those in the swankiest club room. The '59 Convertible was powered by a 390 cubic-inch V-8 engine that developed an impressive 325 horsepower.

Now, this American classic is reborn in a die-cast replica so authentic, it is painted in the original Seminole Red factory colour and is crafted to capture such details as the large tailfins, bullet-like tail-lamps, new jewel-like grille, distinctive roofline and pillar configurations, whitewall tyres and stylish red and white interior. Authorized by General Motors, your model is produced by - and available only from - Matchbox Collectibles.
