Description
Artist's depiction of a streamlined car. Label on back: "This design is typical of the scientific streamlining which aero-dynamic engineers have been urging upon the automobile industry. While its adoption would mean the entire abandonment of the conventional chassis and the scrapping of millions of dollars of old manufacturing equipment, engineers contend that it would soon repay the entire cost in increased efficiency. They declare that the rounded nose and widened front is even more essential for aero-dynamic efficiency that the sloping rear lines. Institute of Aero-Dynamic Research, New York."
