Cadillac - Details Unknown

Another interior shot, this time from a pale blue Cadillac.

I'm afraid I don't have the full details on this one, but I'm pretty sure it was a late Fifties model.

I say more like a 1960 dash.

Norm, I found another shot of the car in question, this time a close-up of the rear light unit.

It's a pretty poor shot so I won't be uploading it, but interesting as I can see it has R5-59 clearly stamped on the unit so I'm wondering if that means it was a 1959 model ... what do you think?

That's how I would understand it to be. I did finally find a 1959 dash and it's nearly identical to the 1960 dash. I would say based on the taillight number it's a 1959.

My brother had a 1960 so this looks very familiar, but '59 is pretty much the same.
I don't have any dash shots of Cadillacs, but you can compare '59 & '60 tail lights in my Cadillac album if you like. : ]

Thanks for that link! :)

This one had the two 'bullets' sat atop the fins on each side so I think it must have been a '59 as all the '60 models in your album seem to have a different style of light.

Yup, the bullet tail lights are probably the easiest way to ID a '59. : ]

No worries.
The name I listed on my ipernity accout is Dodge Charger and the date of birth is actually the production date of my gold '71 Charger R/T (October 2nd 1970). LOL : ]
