Perhaps no car is more of an icon than a 1959 Cadillac. While Cadillac's last body style in the 1950s retained the look of a Cadillac, the 1959 models were vastly updated. Gone were the antiquated "Dagmar" bumpers, replaced with a new design that sat lower on the cars and featured integrated driving lights and turn signals in oval-shaped pods. The hoods extended to the fender crowns that aligned with the chrome trim that extended down the belt line of the car. A new distinctive bullet-style grille that runs between the headlights had that classic Cadillac "egg-crate" flavor but with a more modern twist. Of course, the most significant update to the 1959 Cadillac occurred to the rear quarters and rear-end treatment with the addition of a pair of massive tail fins on each side that were both accented by a pair of "bullet-style" taillights in each fin. The '59 Cadillac rear-ends also featured a faux grille that matched the bullet-style of the grille up front. The interiors of the 1959 Cadillacs were no slouch either, exuding luxury in every facet.
