71-74 Javelin Front Fender copykat from a 'vette?

I was told by an AMC nan-sayer that AMC copycatted the style of the 71-74 Javelin exaggerated front fender flare from the Corvette.

What say you?

I would say that it is more like the "tailfins" of the early 60's..they were the "in" Look..much as the short coupled look of the amx and the 67,8,9 camaros shared.

i agree with goose

The fenders were developed that way from trans am racing.
