The 1950s were an exciting time in America. The era’s most radical concepts quickly moved from auto show floors and into every American’s driveway. Tailfins had become the new norm, and all major auto companies jumped in on the craze. Cars adopted flowing designs that echoed the look of rockets. Finished in pastel shades of pink, blue and green, they received lots of chrome, ornate hood ornaments, wraparound windshields, and their most iconic feature: large tailfins with elaborate taillights.
