Yes, interesting.
I was just reading, this morning, the newest issue of Hemmings Classic
Car and a guy named Gus Constantinou from Bergenfield, NJ, commented about the
57 Eldorado he has with shaved fins.
I recall another story about a minister having the fins on his MoPar cut
down as well as a car that was sent to some political figure overseas. As you
stated, they felt the car was a little too "showy" for either a minister or a
politician to drive. Maybe cutting the fins down wasn't all that uncommon and
wasn't done in an effort to customize it, but to tone it down a little.

interesting.... there was a 58 eldorado that would come out to my
cruise night in NJ- it was supposedly owned by a pastor originally- and
members of the parish felt the fins were somehow insulting [or something along
those lines] so he had them professionally removed in the early 60s... the car
wore original paint- exc for the upper qtrs where the fins were removed- this
wasnt the deville body- but the more bullet-like biarritz body-
rob on the list should know the car if he reads this-

There is a 1961 Imperial on Ebay now
that has had the fins have cut down.
It looks odd, but must be the original owner didn't like them that
high. Here is a link to it.
