There had never been a P 38, and Cadillac started out by putting one fin on their cars instead of 2.

👎 That huge trunk lid is heavy enough without that growth on it.  🫣

Well, my first thought was that if you took that fin off, the back end would look a bit like the Chrysler Turbine car.

cadillac no fins

But then I decided that with a '59 Cadillac, even two fins isn't enough, so let's combine the best of both worlds

cadillac 3 fins

GREAT work Graeme! Thank goodness you didn't give it four! That might be a little over the top. Amazed

With these suggestions above, suddenly the original starts to look better to me.

Lack of space was the only thing that stopped me.

This Cudalac is not for me I'm afraid.  The rear widow immediately reminded me of the original Barracuda.

Johnny Cash's "One Piece At A Time" comes to mind when I look at this "What if?" nightmare.  I'm glad it didn't come true.

OMG!  Either one is a sight for sore eyes.  Thank the stars that neither was a reality.
