Probably the best-known American streamliner is the too-futuristic-to-sell-well Chrysler Airflow. This is the prototype of that groundbreaker, built to test out engineer Carl Breer’s wind-tunnel-tested shape along with numerous other innovations like a rear-hinged hood, quasi-unibody construction, and a one-piece curved windshield. The car was licensed with the named Trifon (after one of the project managers) in order to throw the competition off. This historic piece belongs to the Walter P. Chrysler Museum.
