Was this one built without the fins or are they just missing? I agree with Pete, she could be a real show stopper.

Looks like a floating De Soto, about 1957.

I always wondered what happened to that VWBug with the custom Caddy fins!

The Ancarrows were pretty special boats. If you haven't looked at the actual ebay listing you should to see how beautiful this boat could be. I agree that it could be a money maker in the right hands.

Apparently a serious collector liked it. $18,751. was the 52nd and final bid.I would love to watch the restoration and see photo's of it finished and flying across the water.

In the fifty's, even the venerable Chris-Craft was caught up in tail fins. They produced a boat with a single fin that was just about as yugly as this one. (Sorry, don't remember it's name & can't find a pic of it)

The whole fin craze was a good example of how pathetic mass consumers are.
