Fins

I might be stretching the 'ordinary' a bit here. This is the rear fin on a 1959 Cadillac Coupe De Ville and it looks AMAZING! In the late 1950s car designers were all about the 'jet age' and these fins were designed to look like part of a jet aircraft. The red lights were supposed to look like jet engines when lit.

And this was available at your local car dealership...
