mfg Posted August 18, 2017 Report Posted August 18, 2017 Why was Raymond Loewy's 'upswept ducktail' Avanti decklid (per his original design sketches) eliminated?
TED DIMON Posted August 18, 2017 Report Posted August 18, 2017 Probably because it was too expensive to implement.

r1lark Posted August 18, 2017 Report Posted August 18, 2017 Because of alignment issues (similar to the discussions about the tail and reverse lights)?
