The 1959 Cadillac Broadmoor Skyview stands as one of the most extravagant and rare creations of the American “Space Age” in automotive design. Custom-built by the Superior Coach Corporation specifically for the world-renowned Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, this specialized sightseeing limousine was designed to offer guests an unparalleled view of the Rocky Mountains.
Based on the 1959 Cadillac commercial chassis, the vehicle's most striking feature is its six transparent Plexiglass roof panels, which provided a panoramic “Skyview” experience for passengers. Beyond its unique glass roof, the car boasts the iconic styling of the 1959 Cadillac, most notably the towering tail fins and dual bullet taillights that defined the era's obsession with luxury and aerospace aesthetics.
With only six units ever produced, the Broadmoor Skyview remains a highly coveted masterpiece among collectors, representing a perfect fusion of mid-century hospitality, technical innovation, and pure automotive drama.
A hearse with seats and a sunroof. No dashboard vents for air conditioning. Bet it was hot in there in the summer.
