TRADITIONAL 🅵🅾🅾🅻🅸🅶🅰🅽 - 1930s Elgin Oriole

[BobbyStillz]

Harley Earl (of Corvette fame) actually designed this fork.

Yep. He was designing Corvettes and Buicks when he got hired on to save Evans Colson from bankruptcy. They poured so much into design (trying to out-compete with aesthetics) that they had virtually no budget for advertising. You will see very little, if any, print ads for Evans Colson from 1959-1963 when they eventually went under.

His Le Sabre is another legendary design.

Not just famous for Corvettes, he was featured in the 54 Cadillac brochure. Look at all those tailfins

No tailfins planned.......at least not at the moment.
