This 1959 Cadillac Shop Manual is a high-quality, authorized, licensed, PRINT reproduction of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) shop manual, which was written and first published by the experts at Cadillac Motor Car Division. If you're planning on servicing your 1959 Cadillac, whether a tune-up, or a major overhaul, this service manual should be the first tool in your hands. Probably the best way to describe the 1959 Cadillac models is bold. With tail fins that had grown to a size that might look at home on an aircraft carrier, these Caddys were anything but subtle. From their elegant grilles, to those classic rocket style tail lights, these cars had it all. In order to get and keep it all together, you'll appreciate having a guide. Broken into 16 sections, this book contains information and procedures for lubrication, frame, suspension, steering, Hydra-Matic transmission, rear axle, brakes, engine, fuel, exhaust, engine cooling, electrical, sheet metal, accessories and body. It's 572 pages packed with well-written instructions and filled with tables, black and white photos, charts, diagrams, schematics and more. It includes wiring diagrams.

The basic engine for 1959 Cadillac cars was a brawny 390 cubic inch 90 degree overhead valve V-8. It had a 10.5 to 1 compression ratio and punched-out 325 horsepower at 4800 revolutions per minute (rpm) when equipped with the standard four barrel carburetor. Take that same basic engine and top it with a special intake manifold and triple two barrel carburetors and the power grew to 345 horsepower at 4800 rpm. In either case, this service manual has you covered with specs and step by step instructions. Need help with the accessories? This manual has those covered in Section 14:

• Air Conditioning
• Heating System
• Radio and Antenna
• Autronic Eye
• Cruise Control
• Fog Lamps

Whatever service and maintenance projects you have planned for your classic Caddy, be sure to use a freshly printed and packaged edition of the same manual written by Cadillac and used by their mechanics when these finned marvels first hit the streets.
