I have an idea that Virgil missed a little in the wind tests. I have a '61 Chrysler Newport 2-dr. hdtp with the canted fins and have found out that at about 75mph the back end starts to have a small but noticable sideways sway. A friend had a '60 Windsor 4-dr and it swayed also. I have driven a '62 that is the same car without the fins and it did not sway at all. All Imperial fins are pretty much straight up and I have not seen this trait in them. I wonder if a '58 Studebaker President 2-dr hdtp which has a very similar fin does the same thing? > > From: Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx> > Date: 2006/12/17 Sun AM 12:32:37 EST > To: IML <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: IML: Why Fins are crucial to good automotive design. > > Read this and tell me it isn't a rich peek into late > 1950's finned automotive design thinking straight from > the pen of the Master: > > http://www.imperialclub.org/Articles/57Styling/index.htm > > Kenyon Wills > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________________ > Have a burning question? > Go to www.Answers.yahoo.com and get answers from real people who know. > > > ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- > This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
