How about these fins......

1956 DeSoto

1958 Cadillac

Staying on topic (it has fins) but more to show what a mistake those tacked-on quad headlights were on 58 Packards. This looks so much better IMO:

Aaaaah..........some might think I'm crazy, but I just LOVE this car! True there weren't very many made (588?), but you certainly wouldn't see yourself coming and going!

Here's the fins that I have.

More is better.

or maybe not...

Maybe bigger is better...

...or at multiple angles...

...or that just don't go with the rest of the car at all.

And maybe they're making a comeback.

The End

The '59 Cadillac makes my heart melt.

As far as cars with fins. Here are two of my favorites.

GM's Firebird III and Lincoln's Futura. Only Harley Earl and crew in the late 1950's can design a car with 7 fins and still make it look good. And we all know the fate of Futura. As much as I like Batman and the Barris redesign. I like the Futura in its original form better.

Forgot about the the DiDia 150. Owned by Booby Darin, and shown from a rear view by Bill at the bottom of post #9. Another great one.
