24 Cars Serious Drivers Must Own Before The Oil Runs Out

10. Cadillac DeVille

The last drops of fuel on Earth should be for powering a classic 1959 Cadillac. This car represents great things about the brand as well as classic American cars that were a landmark moment in design and technology. First, the design of the 1959 model year saw Cadillac’s most noticeable feature: chrome fins that went to ridiculous heights. They were 98 inches high, to be precise. The second great feature was the technology as Cadillac updated the mechanical layout with an improved suspension and components, as well as a 6.4-liter V8 engine pumping up to 320 HP.

Cadillac sold a staggering 142,000 1959 DeVilles, which is respectable, even by today’s standards. They offered several models, including the Eldorado and the Fleetwood limousine. They even built a bare chassis with engines for commercial users like ambulances and hearses. Thanks to its timeless design, fantastic power, and quality, 1959 is one of the best years in Cadillac history, while the DeVille is one of the landmark American cars of all time.
