    Mine is more for the 1959 - 1962 models.

    My wife has a '59 Coupe de Ville we picked up several years ago up north along the coast ( lots of surface rust!). It's white over pink ( pershian sand), has a real bad repaint, but it's all there, nothing missing. We picked it up for $3500.00, spent $5000.00 on it to make it road worthy and enjoy the hell out of it. My wife says when she is driving down the road she can see both fins in the rear view mirror!

    Cadillacs are one of the few makes where I like damn near any car they made, from their first days, through the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, even into the mid 70's. If I had to pick one, it would probably be a 1960 Coupe with a slight chop, lowered, and all of the chrome, perhaps missing the door handles. There was a time when a 59 was my all time favorite, but I've begun to prefer the '60 taillights.

    '64 Coupe Deville, this one was mine... I warmed the engine some, re-painted it, lowered it 1" all around, dual exhaust.....White/Red..... was a great rust free ride for quite a number of years...

    Weeeeeeeeeellllllllll, I dunno, I used to work on a customer's 1956 Eldorado Convertible . I liked it , looked great, ran smooth . Course I liked the 62-4's too with Chuck Jordan's "HATED " Skeg fins too. Cadillac kinda lost it for me when they took the fins away though ................ scrubba

    I'm on board with the '63-'64 model years.

    Post H.A.M.B friendly would be the '67 Eldorado.

    Purely from a looks standpoint, my faves would be the 1958 Coupe de Ville and the 1967 Eldorado.

    But there are a lot of very nice mid 70s Eldorado convertibles at good prices. Have been tossing around the idea of buying one for a driver, if the price of gas ever comes down.

    59-64 or 47 and older for me please. Pretty much any one newer than '64 is nothing but a "G-Ride" type Cadillac. If Snoop Dogg would drive it, it's not a kool body style.
     
  20. Lately I'm biased towards the '57 Eldorado Biarritz. ;)

    This is hard! I like so many, but to whittle it down, I love the '48 Sedanette and the '63 Coupe DeVille.

  27. If I had my choice and could only have one I guess it would be a 60 convertible. I do have a 41 Sedanette though.

    51 coupe,but my wondering eyes are looking at 55-are two better than one?
     
  30. I am a fan of 30 plus years, of the 1969 Caddy coups, I still have my first one with just 68,402 miles on the clock. I have had a total of 7 69-70's and a 55 coupe,and I still have a 40 Lasalle, a 36 Cad sedan parts car and parts of a 37 Lasalle, that will Meld in to a Phantom 37ish Cad Dual Cowl Phaton.
