That car is a beaut!
Yeah, its just the way the fins started at that door that made it look like that.
Also, its like you said- these old ads make the cars look much lower and much longer than they were. Now they were very long, but not as long as the ads made them look.
Its like this poll I have going on the 1959 stationwagons on the citydata forums site. The 59 wagons look as long as an 18 wheeler!
Check it out!!
