In this Featured Find episode of Tangent Talk, we uncover the fascinating story of how Mopar’s "Forward Look" sent General Motors into a full-blown panic—and gave us one of the most iconic car designs in history.
The 1959 Chevy Impala wasn’t just another model year; it was a desperate response. When GM executives saw the low, sleek, and finned 1957 Chryslers, they realized their upcoming designs were instantly obsolete. The result? A total "crash program" redesign that scrapped the original plans and birthed the radical "Batwing" fins and "Cat's Eye" taillights that defined the Space Age.
Join us as we explore how competition drove innovation and forced GM's hand to create a legend.
