Just a quick point relating to an earlier part of the thread..
credit given to Raymond Lowey for the 53 Starlight coupes is largely mis-placed. I have a friend here in NY whose father worked for Lowey in NYC in the 30-50s. Credit is generally given to Bob Bourke for the Starlight and Exner for the earlier bullet nose models. Lowey was rather prone to taking credit for designs dome by other's who worked for him.


Good point, the "worker bees" often don't get the credit they deserve. I believe Loewy was also credited for the design of the '63 Avanti as well as the Coke bottle, streamline locomotives, early Boeing airliners etc.
