1959 Pink Cadillac With Tailfins

1959 pink Cadillac with tailfins It was gorgeous, and cost five hundred dollars A fifteen-year-old boy drove thirty miles to buy it. He had been saving money for four years. 1959 pink Cadillac with tailfins The boy was not old enough to drive it legally So, he had his friend Randy drive it. It was a distinctive car. I wish he still had it. 1959 pink Cadillac with tailfins An impulsive fifteen-year-old girl jumped on the hood Dancing scratches all over it. He kept his mouth shut "thinking it was cute" I wish he still had that 1959 pink Cadillac Even though I no longer have my dancing shoes We have been married for fifty years And that car would be worth more than five hundred dollars today!

I imagine that for the right buyer, you might get $501 or even $502. I mean $501K, of course. Smiles, Gershon

Oh my! I always dreamed of owning a 1959 Chevrolet. They were so gorgeous, stylish, and, of course, I could never afford one...back then...well, can't now.

They were SO beautiful! Joe bought his pink 1959 Cadillac with the tailfins for $500 from a rich doctor in 1966.
