Cadlliac Tail Fins

Cadillac Tail Fins

My dad owned one of the early Cadillacs that had tail fins. They were tiny, rounded, and
somewhat shy. It was as if they were not sure the public would like
them. After a decade passed and we were in the 1950s, tail fins grew
bolder. By the end of the 50s, fins were positively dangerous, there
even being examples of people injured by them.My brother had a huge

Cadillac Eldorado with the extreme fins.. It was a bronze beauty.

He took great pleasure in washing and waxing the car in
the driveway. Washing and waxing cars was one of suburbia’s great male
pastimes, and with all the new highways being built, the guys could not
wait to get on the road!
