Bottom line: Strange isn't it that chevy, more often than not is used as a yard stick or standard for comparison to just about everything????
What's even more strange is that using Chevrolet as a yardstick by which to measure other automobiles hasn't been a valid exercise since they dropped the RWD Monte Carlo in '88 and the RWD Caprice in '96. Those were the last Chevrolets with a heritage dating back to the days when Chevy meant value and reliability. The dreck GM has put on the market sporting the bowtie since then is one of the main reasons that Generic Motors landed with a big, fat thud in bankruptcy.

Noticed that even the 1949 Cadillac had fins, and by 1959 reached record height , what made them do this?
From what I've read, GM caught a drift of the soon to be released 1957 Chrysler Corp products and "got scared." Witness the GM fins jumping from the relatively mild '58's to the outlandish '59's.
