karlosdeville Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hello to all, I am currently researching a 1959 Cadillac Sedan deVille, four window style with panoramic rear windscreen. Unfortunately the VIN plate appears to be missing, but the title reads the engine and chassis number as 117821. Is it possible to confirm the model details from this number? Any other way to identify date of dispatch, original colours, options etc? Thanks very much and best regards, Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much and best regards, Karl Perhaps the number on the title is misleading, here is a number on the engine block - would this tally as the correct style and placement for the engine number? Any reference to where exactly I should look for it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlosdeville Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 We dug out this body tag in some older photos, hopefully this should make it easier to identify? It reads as under STYLE 59-6339 BODY FW 10608 TRIM 43 PAINT 24 Looking forward to any inputs. Thanks and regards, Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
