There was a custom Caddy at the Speed and Custom Show. I thought the 1959 fins were big but not THAT big. Some people I asked weren't so sure. Here's a stock Caddy for comparison. The pink Caddy WAS well done. Stainless looked correct and all. But custom for sure.

EDIT: I'm told the actual count was 46!
