1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible

Its massive fins reflect the height of American optimism, a sculptural representation of the opulence of the era

This 1959 Cadillac convertible was previously owned by Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis of German Royalty. The onetime waitress who used to be known as the “Punk Princess” because of her wild clothes and hairstyles is now one of the richest people in the world, worth $1.4 billion. This car was shipped back to the U.S. for a complete restoration in excess of $100,000. With only five miles on her completely rebuilt 390 V8 engine, everything but the radio is in top working condition and ready for the next owner. You’ll feel like royalty when you drive this Caddy.
