The 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille was manufactured in Detroit, Michigan. It was one of the most fascinating car designs of the 1950s. The car was designed by Bill Mitchell, Chuck Jordan, and Dave Holls.
The 1959 Cadillac lineup was considered to be the heyday of Cadillac. The 1959 Cadillacs had some of the most technologically advanced options of the 1950s, including air conditioning, cruise control, and a triple-carb V8.
The 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille was a two-door hardtop coupe with a 130 inch wheelbase. It was the most popular style of the Series 6300 DeVille line, with 21,924 sales. The Coupe DeVille came with a 390 cubic inch (6.4 liter) V8 engine. The engine has a 4-barrel Carter AFB2814S carburetor and produces 325 horsepower.
The 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille was 225 inches long, 80.2 inches wide, and had the largest tailfins ever fitted to a Cadillac. It also had dual "rocket" tail lamps, which are considered the most recognizable tail lights in history. It's considered one of the most iconic car designs of all time. Cost was $5252 plus options.

According to the inflation calculator I tried, $5,252 in 1959 equates to about $57,000 today. It was an expensive car then, but not crazy expensive in today's dollars.

OTOH, I'd not spend $57K on a car today ...
 
Finally got the kitchen cabinet trim work finished today. The crew is finished. They had been here before and measured and told me they could not do the work because they lacked one piece of trim. When it was finished, we had exactly one piece of trim left over. That's how this project has been, lol. Now on to the floor trim, cabinet quarter-round and door trim, and then the tile backsplash, which are all on me. I started this project on April 5.

The Sandhill Cranes are heading South big time the last few days to Winter down in the Bosque del Apache Reserve. They will typically circle over head for a bit, get their bearings and then continue South for another couple hundred miles or so.
