Tailfins of 1959...

Great NY Times interactive photo spread of car designs of the '50s when tailfins ruled....


There is also a full article available entitled
The Punctuation at the End of the '50s that is a great read on by-gone days of car design. Even includes a snippit of poetry from Robert Lowell's "For The Union Dead":
““....Everywhere,

giant finned cars nose forward like fish;

a savage servility

slides by on grease.”
