Don't know anything about them other than what I just read and saw, but I
think on top of being sweet looking cars, the first version (with the fins
still intact) stands a little visual comparison with the Henry J.
When I was a kid of about ten, one of my older brother's buddies had a
Henry J that he kept changing the paint job on, it seemed like weekly. It
was one of those cars that got me interested in cars. Did a little
reasearch and my aged memory seems to stand the test of time. The front end
is very different (it looks a little like someting out of an early Twilight
Zone or Outer Limits), but the rear quarter view is strikingly similar.
