Perhaps no automobile was as revered in its own time as the tail-finned Cadillac. With its powerful performance, elegant craftsmanship and breathtaking appearance, the Cadillac of the 1950s and 1960s truly was \u201cThe Standard of the World.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evolution of the Cadillac tail fin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Originally inspired by the Lockheed P-38 Lightning Fighter plane, Cadillac\u2019s first 1948 tail fin was a Harley Earl creation. The sculptured fender line was soon copied by other manufacturers. But Cadillac was first, and the fin was instantly associated with the brash jet-age style of America\u2019s number-one luxury car.<\/p>\n

By the mid-1950s the Cadillac glittered with jewel-like style and the tail fins kept growing. Names like Coupe de Ville, Fleetwood and Eldorado Biarritz were embedded in American culture, music and movies. The Caddy\u2019s tail fin reached its absolute zenith in 1959 and gradually receded as times and tastes changed over the next few years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Rise and Fall of the Cadillac Tail Fin\u201d display celebrates an era and an automobile that will never be forgotten.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
