Tailfins

Tailfins were created by General Motors design chief, Harley Earl. The first fins appeared on the 1948 Cadillac, inspired by the WWII Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter plane. By the late 1950s, many vehicles on the market looked like they jumped right out of the space-age. Tailfins grew to enormous proportions, giving cars a futuristic look. Do you wish cars still had tailfins? Let us know!
