Finny 56
Interesting, the close resemblance this bears to the Ford Thunderbird introduced the previous year... only this design is more cluttered. Still, for an American car of that day and age, it's not too bad looking. Even if it did sport some of the biggest tailfins up to that time, easily more imposing and 'aeronautical' than the Caddys of that year. '56 turned out to be DeSoto's biggest year. "DeSoto offered no fewer than six 1956 hardtop models available in 85 color combinations."
