Oct 10, 2008 - The most advanced car of that era was the Volkswagen.

Oct 10, 2008 - Streamlining was all the rage in this late Art Deco period. Even buildings, fridges and radios were designed to look that way,

Oct 10, 2008 - Yeah, you're preaching to the choir. :-) I was recently at the Henry Ford Museum and was happy to see the '34 DeSoto Airflow on display, although I think it had a greater influence than the exhibit implied.

Oct 10, 2008 - == Beetle when introduced was considerably out of== date No drive shaft. No radiator. No coolant to fool with. 28 mpg on old leaded gas. Don't know what kind of mileage the 1200 cc motor got. It was 'streamlined.' What do you mean it was "out of date?"
