1960 CADILLAC COUPE DE VILLE

AUCTION CAR:

1960 Cadillac Coupe De Ville — right-hand drive — presented as a striking and comprehensively restored example of Cadillac’s Jet-Age luxury. This Coupe De Ville has undergone an extensive bare-metal restoration, with significant work completed recently to ensure it presents today as a genuine turn-key classic. It exemplifies the scale, presence, and design confidence that defined Cadillac at the dawn of the 1960s.

DRIVE-LINE:

Powered by Cadillac’s formidable 390ci V8, the engine delivers smooth, effortless torque, perfectly suited to the car’s relaxed luxury character. The V8 is paired with an automatic transmission and power steering, providing refined cruising ability and ease of use. Mechanical systems have been comprehensively renewed, including the fitment of new front disc brakes, master cylinder and fuel system, enhancing both drivability and safety along with brand new whitewall tyres.

EXTERIOR:

The body has undergone a full bare-metal restoration, providing a correctly prepared and solid foundation. Finished in as-new Crimson Cherry Metallic paintwork completed in March 2025, the exterior presents with exceptional depth, gloss, and clarity, further enhanced by a ceramic coating for long-term protection. Panel fit and alignment are consistent throughout, contributing to a sharp and confident overall presentation.

The dramatic Jet-Age styling cues are on full display, with the Coupe De Ville’s sweeping chrome side spears, sculpted body lines, and iconic tailfins highlighted by the high-quality finish. Brightwork presents to a very high standard, with the front bumper bar professionally rechromed, adding to the crisp and refreshed appearance. New glass has been fitted, ensuring clarity and reinforcing the car’s near-new presentation.

INTERIOR:

The interior has been comprehensively retrimmed as part of the recent restoration, presenting in excellent condition and faithfully reflecting Cadillac’s original luxury intent. Upholstery, carpets, headlining, and interior finishes present cleanly throughout, creating a refined and inviting cabin consistent with the Coupe De Ville’s flagship status. All instrumentation and interior fittings are neatly finished and visually cohesive, offering a high-quality presentation that complements the freshly restored exterior. In addition, the vehicle has been fully rewired, ensuring reliable operation of interior electrical systems.

SUMMARY:

A stunning 1960 Cadillac Coupe De Ville RHD, restored to a high standard and offered as a genuine turn-key example. Featuring Cadillac’s powerful 390ci V8, automatic transmission, power steering, renewed mechanicals, upgraded braking, and a recent high-quality paint finish, this is a standout example of Jet-Age American luxury.

An exceptional piece of artwork on wheels — and a very fine example indeed.
