Default Tail fins or Iconic Design
Hi All


Personally, I think the sloped rear of the Gun Tractor was one of the following reason:

  • The original designer was the father of the designer who thought tail fins would look good on cars.
  • The original designer was look for a design which would have an Iconic shape to form the desires of a generation of young boys, so they would love CMPs
  • The reason is now lost in the mists of time, we should have thought to ask this at the CMP Conference back in 1984.
Cheers Phil
