Hi All,
Wondering if there is any detailed restoration sites out there that would help a person identify parts and pieces of 1959 Cadillac's. I am looking at a 59 project car that is apart..some of the parts are mixed up with other mid fifties GM cars and I have one shot at getting it right before the property is sold .
Thank you, Pat MacPhail

Buy it all & sell what you don't need here to fund your restoration project!!
Have you had success with the 59/60 Chapter?  There link is on the CLC site.

I agree with the previous post.  Take everything
that's sitting around that car and don't worry what
year it belongs to.  You can figure that out once you
get into the restoration.  Sell what you're sure you
don't need.

Parts for these cars are getting harder to find as the
years pass.  You'll pay plenty for many of those parts.

I would also suggest that you get copies of the Shop
Manual and the Master Parts List.  They will be
invaluable as you get into the restoration.  They can
be found on E-Bay both used and reproduction.

I have my unmolested '60 torn apart and documented, I'm sure I could be of some help.

The words 'Unmolested' and 'torn apart' 😳
Struck me as kinda funny, sounds like an oximoron 🤣

I know another member that's working a 59 coupe.

Good advice guys.
I found a 59 manual among the stuff so that should help
Moody I may take you up on that offer..Thank you.
The owner is trying to put together a 58 Eldorado as well.

V63, Ha! Very true!
I disassembled the car. Bagged and tagged and drew pictures and took photos. That does sound better than tearing it apart!
