I am about to restore a 1957 Cadillac lido. This thing has all the the original trim in tact. Does anyone else have an interest in the 50's aluminum fin boats? I love the look of polished aluminum. I've been polishing old classics like my 55 Aero Craft model M that I pulled out of the dirt, now everybody that sees it tries to buy it off me. Show me your tinny fin.

Would be nice to see both of the boats you are speaking of, post em up here, we love pictures especially before and afters.
No fins here but I am restoring a 1960 glass runabout. Funny because it's a Lone Star- Fleetwood, kind of Caddy like.

I love the 50's tins, not a big fan of the fins (some are okay if they are not too "added on" looking), but I do like the polished aluminum. I'm like greenbush, love pictures! So post some of yours so we can all see. You can see mine by clicking on the link in my signature.
