I have quite a few of the space age cars so I though why not make a reference thread with just these types of cars. Feel free to add same era cars you've sighted. 1956-1962 is the rough time period.

Probably not what you had in mind, but these are some of my favourite tail fins. No one does fins like the Alfa Romeo BATs.

Those are pretty wild looking cars; I know I have a hotwheels of the silver one in the background of the last photo.

That 1960 Chrysler 300 F coupe posted above is beautiful and rare!

It is 1-of-28 coupes built with Code 999 Special Order Paint!

Anyway, tailfins an chrome..

I got enough in my digital archives to make this thread 30 pages long!

One day, I'll probably make some dedicated threads on here with all of my reference pics by make/model etc..

But, for now, I'll just post a handful..

Also, NOBODY did tailfins as good as Exner did!

What a great thread! One’s heart longs for the days of imaginative stylin’ compared to today’s bubble cars identifiable only by the badging on the grill; oy vey!

Combed thru my collection of photos from BJ, Goodguys, and local show’n’shines in Arizona and the Cowichan Valley and came up with the following….
