Thread: Ultimate fin car???

Tweet

I'm in the middle of doing a turquoise '57 Bel Air coupe. I have recognized for a while that the '57 Chevy is rarely chopped, restyled, or even dechromed. Like the 49-51 Mercs, they have been popular from the first day they were made, and still command a premium price.

Here is my question:

What is the ultimate fin car? Lots of them had little fins, but I am talking about the ones that have big fins as a major styling point. Are any more popular than the '57 Chevy?

If you could get any fin car for free... what would be YOUR choice?

I'm thinking these are candidates....

'57 Chevy
'59 Caddy
'60 Ford
'58 Plymouth
'57 T-bird
Studebaker Golden Hawk
'59 Chevy
'59-'60 Buiks
late '50s early '60s Imperials
some of the late '50s to '61 Chryslers or DeSotos
'60 Chevy
Others?

What are your thoughts? If we narrow it down to 3-4, maybe we can put together a poll.
