’59 Cadillac Coupe de Ville
When most people think of the ’50s, they instinctively think of the ’59 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. The car’s rear is its defining feature – its signature tail fins and protruding tail lights have been immortalized in the popular consciousness ever since. Over 50,000 Coupe de Villes sold in 1959, accounting for over a third of all of the car series’ sales over its lifespan.
