Ran across this article in the Times today.

...it details old finned boats inspired by late 50s cars.

Some cool links in the article:

Cool articles. Believe it or not, I could get my hands on about three of these Glastrons right now for less than peanuts. I just don't know what I would want them for... :(

I know what you mean Lenny. I was at a Mecum auto auction (before they made it onto TV) in '07, and ran across this Switzer. It was being auction for charity, and went pretty cheap. I don't have the time to hunt down a period motor lately. Had the big fins, that's for sure.
