Hey Jerry,

Man, that is too sweeeeet!

I knew those fins looked familiar but I wanted to be sure and I think I was able to track them down. Now please correct me if you think I’m wrong but I believe the inspiration there had to be the 1957 “Detroit Dreamboat” Mercury’s Top of the Line ‘Turnpike Cruiser’

Now these are 58 Mercs but the same lines are there.

It’s interesting that this mid 60’s boat still sported late 50’s automotive styling.
Terry
