??Cars (most anyway) got tail fins after '55??

Or is that a glich in my imagination? If I was guessing and didn't know I reckon I'd feel that a car with significant tail fins was probably post-55 and one with none to speak of was pre-55.

Here in Oz we were a few years later with the fins, but the American cars were boldly finned by about '57 and massively finned by '59 or '60. Caddies (- I still remember - 'Cadillac: the longest car in the world, 20foot 4 inches!') and the Pontiac Belvedere were the 'massively finned' cars that the fathers of my school mates owned, but even the British Zephyr (Zodiac) models had small fins by late 50's.
