French sleekmobiles

 

 "...the René Villemer automotive paint company would create these sketches to show off their latest colors, sometime utilizing real vehicles, but often drafting made up transportation ideas from scratch like the examples below. One thing is certain, the French Art Deco is heavy here, and thankfully that whimsical streamline influence made its way to American auto design in the same decade. Just compare any US car model from 1926 to the same car in 1936..."–Jalopy Journal
AL: See, for example, the 1937 Chrysler Airflow we posted last week. It seems that Chrysler will be launching an Airflow EV in 2025.
