1959 Plymouth Advertisement,"Good Taste is Never Extreme"
Add to SetSummary
There's a slightly defensive tone in Plymouth's slogan, "Good Taste is Never Extreme," in this ad for its 1959 lineup. No carmaker embraced tailfins quite like Chrysler under the design leadership of Virgil Exner. The 1959 Plymouth's tailfins were longer and canted slightly outward compared with previous years. Some might call them extreme.
