barry22 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Those aftermarket Cadillac tail fins and lights are an interesting aftermarket add-on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malo48 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Those are interesting. Custom Car Chronicle has a segment about them: https://www.customcarchronicle.com/custom-history/customizing-with-early-cadillac-tail-fins/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) I have not seen those before either but I think they're a very cool aftermarket add-on! Great article Malo. Thanks for the share.

m-mman Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Radio, heater, backup lights, fender skirts, hood ornament and what looks like the deluxe steering wheel. This was a loaded 1950 Chevrolet showboat. The fins were likely added when new. (maybe even by the dealer?) All the features of the current Cadillac, minus the V-8. . . . . neat car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great article Malo. Thanks for the share. The odd think is, aside from their unitized appearance (and the red tape on the lens on the right side of the Chevy) they actually don't look that bad, stylistically. No worse than the add-on looking chrome fins that Chrysler put on their 1955 models from the factory, anyway. Pretty cool, indeed!

The 55er Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I know it's supposed to imitate a Caddy but from the rear it kinda looks like a 49 Plymouth! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Also noted it has two different taillight lenses- I remember when these were offered throough J.C. Whitney's catalogue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I very much doubt that a Caddy lens would fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
