Cadillac Convertibles 1949-1969

"In 1948 while the rest of the industry geared up to selling their warmed over pre World War II models, Cadillac introduced an all new design with styling cues taken from a World War II fighter plane, the P-38. The plane's twin tail booms inspired the rear fender tail fins. An ERA was born. Tail fins would dominate the US auto industry for the next two decades. Welcome to the 1950's and 1960's. Tail-fins, lots of chrome and bright colors. The big American cars we all love."--Back cover.
