    Does anyone know what kind of car these fins fit? They look like Studebaker but I don't know for sure.

    They fit a fish or a sub but I can't tell for sure since they are underwater.

    The blue one looks like it has Chrysler New Yorker trim pieces on it.. that was a model-specific treatment from the late '50s up to about '62-63.

    As far as I know, the Studebakers/Packards were the only cars that had a "bolt on" fin like that. Does anyone know of any others??
