Were I able to climb into a time machine and journey back to the auto show illustrated above, I would take a couple thousand dollars cash and buy two or maybe three of those great old autos you see on the show room floor. "Streamline" and various forms of that word was added to the vocabulary of auto dealers back in the mid 1930's as cars began the transformation from those square autos to slanted grills, windshields, front ends and other body modifications that cut down considerably on wind resistance.

HI TOM...IN 1940, MY WIFE WON $25 AT A BINGO AND WE BOUGHT A 1933 CHEVY WITH THE MONEY SHE WON. IT WAS THE FIRST CAR WE OWNED AND IT NEEDED SOME WORK. I PAINTED THE CAR GREEN WITH A BRUSH AND MY FRIEND AND I OVERHAULED THE ENGINE. IT RAN VERY WELL AND AS I RECALL WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH IT. BEST REGARDS.
