You are a year out on my favourites. Got to be 1959 for me, but not a 59 Cadillac, those fins were just a bit too silly. Give me a 59 Buick Electra please

The 1958 Cadillac looks too much like that year’s Chevrolet. 49 or 59, nothing in between.

All the '58 B-body line was pretty generic as GM upsized the tri-Chevy and companion Buick into the one full-size platform, just basically nose-and-tailing the cars to differentiate the marque name. 1959/60 cars were similarly anodyne but somehow evolved better individual identities. I like the '58s but they are fussily styled and my preference would be for the clean 1960 lines, I reckon the Caddy fins of that year were the better for being a bit trimmed down...

A standard '60 Coupe in white is as good as it gets. My ideal car collection would house at least 10 American cars.

It's the Chevrolet that looks like the Cadillac, not the other way around.

I reckon more likely selling NOS parts at shows out the back of it.
