Motors stylist Harley Earl is known for many things,but one of his last
creations was |
| the 1959 Impala. The
most dominant styling characteristic of the 59 Chevrolets was the |
| deeply sculpted fins.
An
early report in Popular Mechanics on the 1959 Chevrolets said of |
| the car. "Styling is the
thing with the new Chevrolet... Its low, flaring rear end is as
expansive |
| as the deck of an aircraft
carrier and looks almost as wide from the drivers seat. |
| Horizontal
tiallights squint, like giant
cats eyes, from under chrome eyebrows. |
| At the front, two sets of paired
headlamps are set as
low as the allows to accentuate
|
| the road-hugging design."
