1959 Cadillac Sales Catalog
01
Artifact Overview
No styling cue defined 1950s American automotive design like tailfins. Introduced on the 1948 Cadillac under the direction of Harley Earl, within ten years fins were found almost everywhere in the GM, Ford and Chrysler product lines. Fittingly, these Jet Age ornaments peaked on the 1959 Cadillac -- a car with tailfins that towered nearly four feet off the ground.
