§ V.02What moves a car within the band
Within that band, convertible cars are the most frequently traded body style in this set (164 of 323 sales), and automatic cars account for 218 of them. Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of the range is wide.
The spread by variant, printed in full above, is usually wider than the spread by year: a coupe at $28,250 and a convertible at $27,000 are not the same market, and a single median that mixes them describes neither.

§ V.06Questions
What is a 1959–1970 Cadillac DeVille worth?
A 1959–1970 Cadillac DeVille sold for a median of $25,569 across 323 completed auctions from January 2016 to October 2026 (BidBetter, as of 3 November 2026).
The middle half of those 323 sales fell between $17,000 and $37,825 (the typical range), and the full range after cleaning was $5,000 to $192,500.
What affects the price of a 1959–1970 Cadillac DeVille?
Model year: by year, medians run from $19,000 for 1970 (39 sales) to $47,650 for 1960 (18 sales).
Body style: a coupe holds a median of $28,250 on 95 sales, against $27,000 on 164 for a convertible.
Transmission: Manuals hold a median of $32,000 on 61 sales, against $22,750 on 218 for automatics.
Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of sales spans $17,000 to $37,825.
Is the Cadillac DeVille 1959-1970 going up or down in value?
Up. The 58 sales in the 12 months to 3 November 2026 had a median of $32,500, against $22,500 on 49 sales in the 12 months before, a rise of 44.4%. That compares whichever cars came to auction in each year, not the same cars sold twice, so read it as the direction of the market rather than a rate of appreciation.
How many Cadillac DeVille sales is that based on?
323 completed auction sales, from January 2016 to 30 October 2026. The table above lists the 15 most recent, each linked to its auction record. The figures were last rebuilt on 3 November 2026.
What is the difference between the typical range and the full range?
The typical range is $17,000 to $37,825: half of all 323 sales fell inside it. The full range is $5,000 to $192,500, the cheapest and dearest sale that survived cleaning. The full range is set by outliers, so it is a boundary rather than a guide to what most cars bring.
Which body style holds its value best?
On this set, convertible is the most frequently sold at 164 sales with a median of $27,000. The highest median among body styles is coupe at $28,250, though it rests on fewer sales. Each variant's median and count are in the table above.
Do manual or automatic cars sell for more?
In this set, automatic cars account for 218 of 323 sales. Manuals hold a median of $32,000 on 61 sales, against $22,750 on 218 for automatics.
Does mileage change the value?
Mileage is recorded for part of this set, not all of it, so it is not used to adjust the median. It is shown in the sales table wherever the auction record carries it, and you can see the effect directly by comparing rows.
How current is this figure?
Data as of . The figures are rebuilt from completed sales on a schedule, and the date above is the date of the last rebuild, not the date this page was loaded.
§ V.07Method and sources
What these figures are. Every number on this page is computed from completed auction sales of Cadillac DeVille cars built between 1959 and 1970. The median is the 50th percentile of the sale prices; the typical range is the 25th to 75th percentile; the full range is the lowest and highest sale that survived cleaning. Percentiles are linearly interpolated on the sorted prices.
What is excluded. Asking prices, reserve-not-met results, withdrawn lots and unsold cars are not prices and are not counted. Parts, memorabilia, literature, scale models and other non-vehicle lots are excluded. Sales not made in US dollars are excluded, so these figures describe the dollar market. Duplicate records are removed. Sales below a plausibility floor (5% of the median) and above a ceiling (10× the median) are set aside, because a $22 "911" is a data error rather than a cheap car.
What was set aside. The highest recorded sale in this set is $275,000 (1960 CADILLAC COUPE DE VILLE CUSTOM HARDTOP, 20 June 2021), and 1 sale above $257,095 are held out of the median and the ranges: at that price the lot is a different asset, and including it would pull the headline figure away from what a typical car brings.
What it is not. This is not an appraisal or an inspection, and it does not predict what any particular car will bring. Two cars built the same year can differ by more than the whole typical range on condition, originality, documentation and provenance.
The set. 323 sales from January 2016 to 30 October 2026, drawn from 10 auction sources, principally Bring a Trailer (177), Barrett-Jackson (86), Hemmings (20), RM Sotheby's (15), Hagerty (8), Autohunter (5), Mecum (5), Bonhams (4), Collecting Cars (2), Broad Arrow (1). Data as of .
