Extremely difficult for me...The neighbor who lived directly across the street from us had bought a brand new '57 in the same color combo as pictured. The '56 and '59 are in a tie for second place.

The '56 for me.  No interest in the other two.

While not a Cadillac fan, I do find the 1957 Series 62 especially attractive. Unfortunately and controversially, I find the 1959, extremely tacky.  Choices: 1957, then 1956 and 1959 not even in the ballpark.

Through no fault of your own, (the photos match the cars up well) but aren't great photos. I'll take 1957 because it looks more lithe. 


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

I like all these Cadillacs but as you ask I’ll pick one!  The 1957 for me.  The 56 is a bit bulbous and the 59 a bit over the top.  Not to say I dislike either of those years just of the 3 I prefer the 57

Phil, I can't recall the last time I've seen a post from you. Hope all is well. Don't be a stranger.

Well, since that 1959 Cadillac is "my car"  the choice is simple.  My 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville (that I foolishly sold) was that very color, "Gotham Gold"  with no optional "Dover White"  painted top but a "Fawn Beige"  interior.   Like an idiot, I sold it to make room for other collector cars....   dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb... 😫 😫 😫

The '57 is my fave Cadillac of that decade.  The '56 is a strong second and the '59 a distant third.

The color you refer to on the '57 is really attractive.  I have always referred to it as "Dentyne".
