54Illinois Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 This is an expired auction, but I saved it because I love the photo. So many different trim packages between the cars. But none have the tail fin. Why? Was this an extra? http://www.ebay.com/itm/140663526558?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649 Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 I would guess that the chrome "tail fins" were not offered until 1954, but I'm not an expert. My 54 Savoy had fins. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Or.......you could create your own "fins" by using a couple spare hood ornaments, like this guy did. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) neither of the Savoy trim packages were listed with the tail fins as part of the package..along with the rocker panel trim this was an optional item. My 54 Savoy had both trim packages, really blinged out but no tail fin nor rocker trim...it is really pretty much got the "bling" from the factory..I have since installed NOS fins, I have NOS rocker trim and also got a nice set of the factory wire basket hubcaps on the car..neither of the cars Bob pictured has the rain guards including the vent rain guards except on the yellow cars pictures one vent rain guard..the brown car has the optional rear bumper over-riders and it appears the yellow car has on one pair at the back instead of the four..
