Cadillac Couches
probably the most popular of all the Cadillac "furniture" items
[ many are shown courtesy of Doc Sabatino ]

    
1955-56, from start to "please sit down"

   
This one is different in that the BACK of the seat is the focal point

A rather plain 1959 Cadillac arm chair

The 1959 Cadillac couch is a popular home furnishing for the car nut.  One of our friends in Switzerland has one  [see "Shark 59" story].  I witnessed the "delivery" to his penthouse apartment in Geneva;  they had to get a crane to hoist it onto the terrace and four
strong men to carry it through the French windows into the lounge

    

This couch was made for R&B artist, Fats Domino, by CLC member, Bob Millian

Don't discard your '59 when you are through driving it!  It could make a comfortable
"Cadillac-King"-sized bed (left) or an ingenious, log-burning stove for the lounge (right)

Here's another '59 Cadillac bed that
sold on eBay in April-May, 2006

This stereo system was built into the front clip off a 1960 Cadillac by
CLC member, Bob Millian; half-inch plywood was used to box the inside,
to hold the components and albums; Bob says this was easier to make than a couch

This 1961 Cadillac coupe has a removable roof and reveals a cigarette storage box;
