I think at times we all get carried away with sometning or another and then we no longer realize how far afield we've gone til one day the whole thing comes crashing down.

Remember cars in the late 50's and those freakin' fins? Pretty soon the stylists got so involved with bigger and swoopier that they forgot what the thing actually was.....a car. More chrome, higher fins, bullet shaped doo-dads everywhere front and rear................I agree with someone who was thinking about the '59 Cadillac.

Can you imagine all the corporate big guys, the engineers, the marketing reseach folks, the stylists and designers, the guys on the line.......EVERYBODY at Cadillac is standing out front as the first '59 model rolls off the line. Sky high fins, bullet taillights,bullets in the grille and trunk fascia, chrome everywhere....a monument to American excess. It stops in the middle of the group and there is nothing but complete silence. Then, from the midst of the crowd comes a small voice..........My gawd, what have we done?

Something similar may be ready to happen at Gibson.
