Body / Glass: Hawk rear fender fin differences

[cosmo556]

Hi all,
Can someone tell me the differences between the '57 / '58, '59, '60 and the '61 fins? I have found 5 part # pairs covering them. Could it be just trim mounting holes?
Thanks

I am assuming you are only talking about "SILVER Hawk" Fins, and of course '60/'61 "Hawk" Fins?

Ruling out the completely different Golden Hawk Fins eliminates 1 Part Number.
Then the Major difference would be the "Pointed front end" Fins on '57/'58 vs the '59-'61 "Angular front end" Fins.

Any other changes would simply be the '61 Dual lower Moulding Holes and '59 vs '60 and '61 Ornament Holes.
Louvers, Bird Emblem and "Hawk" Nameplate were all different placement and usage all all 3 Years.
Notice the "Upper" Fin top Moulding on '57-'58.
................................................................................ ................and pointed front with no Ornaments.


'59 No upper Moulding, with "Silver", Bird, "Hawk".

'60 with 3 Louvers, "Hawk", Bird. ////////////////// '61 with Bird at Rear, "Hawk" at Front and ................................................................................ .................Dual Lower Mouldings.

Of course all 3 Lastest Coupes have the Angled Forward, more blunt front of Fin and no upper Moulding.
