		All of them, however, were based on the single line flowing from the leading edge of the vehicle to the rear bumper.
		The success of the '48 Cadillac tailfin was how Hershey incorporated what Mitchell himself learned from the '38: The fin was a continuation of the flow of the bodyline from the front to the rear of the car.
		With that beautiful line flowing through the body panels, climaxing in the elegant tailfins that gave the effect of making the car look longer, the sheer beauty and simplicity of the car's body took many an onlooker's breath away.

	Joyrides \| 1948 Caddy began industry's oddest fad
		Ford stylists were not enamored of the fin, but with GM fitting them to all its lines and setting the public tastes with more than half the market, they followed suit with mildly finlike rear fenders in 1955, then went to very distinct and definite fins in 1957.
		GM went a bit overboard, with strange slanted fins on the Buick, major chunks of chrome on the Oldsmobile and eventually the bizarre "batwing" fins of the '59 Chevrolet.
		And Cadillac, which had started the trend, caused its tailfins to soar to the height of parody in its '59 models.

		The slightly larger number of German designs is a result of the existence of the BA subsidiary Deutsche BA, and similarly, the number of Australian designs can be attributed to the airline's alliance with Qantas and the importance of the kangaroo route.
		The adoption of this livery was seen as a move away from the traditional and strictly British image of the carrier.
		BA suggested that the previous "Landor" scheme carried an air of arrogance and detachment, and insisted that the new tailfins were very popular with international travellers.

	HHMI Bulletin May 2007: Hints from Wnts
		Zebrafish, for example, have no problem regenerating perfect tailfins after being nipped by an aquarium mate—or snipped by an inquisitive doctoral student, like the University of Washington's Cristi Stoick-Cooper.
		In particular, Stoick-Cooper, University of Washington postdoc Gilbert Weidinger (now at the Technical University of Dresden), and colleagues found that Wnt/ß-catenin activity rises in zebrafish undergoing tailfin regeneration, but the fish were unable to regrow snipped tailfins when researchers disabled the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway.
		Surprisingly, zebrafish that overproduced a different Wnt—Wnt5b—failed to regenerate tailfins altogether, but mutant fish lacking a functional Wnt5b gene replaced their tailfins at an accelerated pace, indicating that this Wnt protein normally inhibits regeneration.

		Twin tailfins had been considered for the Vigilante, but it had seemed like too much of an innovation at the time, even though the A-5's tall tailfin had to be hinged to get the aircraft into a carrier hangar deck.
		A single chute was used early on, but tended to drag on the ground and was replaced by the dual chutes in 1977.
		The tailfins of all but the first production examples were also longer than those of the interceptor variant, with fuel tankage incorporated into the fins, and the engine exhausts were slightly longer as well.

		French Lt. Albert Caquot greatly refined the design with the inclusion of three inflatable tailfins at 120• intervals around in the aft section of the gas bag.

		For 1961 he delivered overwhelming tailfins (Imperial), tormented shapes (Dodge, Plymouth) and a style that was at best questionable for Chryslers and the Dodge Dart.
		Public reaction was cold, and starting in 1962 the excesses were stripped away, to the great disappointment of Exner, who saw the result as "plucked chickens." In effect, 1961 was the last of a line that had begun in 1957.
		In back, the tailfins become truly imposing in size as well as shape, and their concave rear surface wraps around the "microphone" taillights of the year before.
