The automobile has had many negative effects on American society but it has given us a mobility unmatched in the World. We love our automobiles but with today's fewer models and similar body styles it's harder to get excited by the silhouette of a sleek sedan. This was not the case in the 1930s and early 1940s. Cars from this period exhibit a unique design that are a pleasure to look at. The Ford Model Ts and Model As that preceded the autos shown here were rectangular, boxy shapes that pretty much mimicked the outline of a horse and buggy. In the 1930s, as air travel caught the public's attention, there was more consideration of aerodynamics and the automobile becamed more streamlined as a result.
The 1929 Mercedes began sporting streamlined wheel covers.
