Mid-50's Caddy tail fins on what appears to be an early 50's shoebox Ford tudor?  It's different.  Have to admire the workmanship - look at the top chop

How could anyone think that was worth the effort

My friend Bret has 59 Caddy fins and taillights on his Austin Healey 3000.   Yep, he is a bit eccentric

 That’s a shame, they are nice cars!

I was considering putting a Chrysler Lebaron style convertible third light on my convertible, but everyone thought it a stupid idea.

If one was going to do it, that would to me, be about the cleanest way to do it. But that is neither here nor there, not are they a dime a dozen at pick in pull anymore.

Don't you mean the Chrysler Corrrrdoooba (my finest Ricardo Montalban voice) with it's fine Corinthian leather seats?
Those tail lights look like the ones off my old 1950 Cadillac.

 



Chrysler Cordobas are good for old school window switches.

Anyways, I had a lebaron convertible.  Sold it to my brother.   He doesn't speak to me anymore, LoL.
(he still does).  One thing that was really neat about that generation, was those cars actually had an inside headliner that really seemed to cut down on the convertible road noise.   That is another idea that would be cool to incorporate.
