Coupe de Ville  by soboy5

Coupe de Ville

The 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville was the ultimate statement of wealth, success, luxury, ostentation and over-the-top styling. With the largest, longest and tallest tail fins ever placed on an automobile, this massive and ornate vehicle had truly outrageous styling, inspired by space rockets and jet fighters. It is an iconic example of American ingenuity and optimism in the 1950's.

Best viewed large. One more day to go!!!
Nice shot

@rhos It has actually been 5 weeks, Ann. But I was not going to let my project end without another car pic! Tomorrow is a surprise but I had to go with plan B so it is not what I wanted to do originally.
@heidihp Thanks, Heidi and see above.
@ivan Thank you so much for the brilliant comment and for the fav, Ivan. This is an extremely iconic automobile which captures the 1950's better than any other luxury car, in my opinion.
