1959 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible.
The double rear fins are my favorite 50's fins.

Full ad for your viewing pleasure. Could also be a Catalina.

They’re the More Insane Version of a ‘58/’59 Lincoln’s fins, but oddly are a little bit better executed.

Yep. Because a car totally needs two fins per side, canted at 45 deg angles.

It’s my working theory that it was produced by a very talented but lazy designer staring at a ‘58 Lincoln while extremely drunk.

It’s funny to see how much lower and wider the artist’s representation is than the actual car. Some things never change.

It really is. When I saw the ad I thought “that is impossibly low and wide” and I hoped it was real. It is, to an extent, but the actual Bonneville isn’t as jaw-dropping as this ad was, even though it is fairly jaw-dropping. I guess that’s marketing though.
If I’m ever a billionaire I’m totally recreating the car from the perspective of the ad... just as long, just as wide, just as low...

And they always painted the people at a noticeably smaller scale. As if the cars were’t enormous enough in reality.

Unless people were noticeably smaller in 1959, which I don’t believe to be the case. Lol The thing looks at least eight or so feet across. The real deal was just over six feet I think (Google is failing me).
