2023 Muscle Car Market Review - Cadillac 1950-1960
1950s Cadillacs come with lots of nostalgic triggers; the fins, the chrome, movie star affiliations and as a metaphor for extreme wealth.
If you want a 1950s Cadillac in today’s market, especially a convertible version, then access to some fairly extreme wealth may be required, but they aren’t all costly. Cadillacs from the early 1950s were modern when compared with other brands of their time but might feel more cumbersome than 1957-58 cars that come at similar prices.
Some 1959s come at prices taller than their tailfins, with Coupe de Villes at $70-90,000. Convertibles at above $100,000 are aligned with quality cars in the North American market.
