Tail fins or Iconic Design

Hi All

Personally, I think the sloped rear of the Gun Tractor was one of the following reason:

The original designer was the father of the designer who thought tail fins would look good on cars.

The original designer was look for a design which would have an Iconic shape to form the desires of a generation of young boys, so they would love CMPs

The reason is now lost in the mists of time, we should have thought to ask this at the CMP Conference back in 1984.

Cheers Phil
