Classic Streamliners

I was at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last weekend where, apart from the paddock full of noisy, smelly and otherwise exciting racing cars, there was a show of classic streamliners.

Of course there couldn't be such an exhibition without a Tatra:

A Dymaxion recreation (which I found particularly exciting):

Finally a 1934 Crossley Burney Streamline:

I'm afraid that I haven't much constructive to add, apart from how wonderful it was to see such rare and interesting vehicles up close. I hope that there might be some of you who'd appreciate me sharing such remarkable kitsch on here. Pity that the Streamline never took off, who wants to ressurrect Streamline Cars Ltd. with me? :p

Nice pics, thank you!

Super pics of some super looking cars. Thanks for sharing them with us.:cool:

I'm sure no one would mind if you had more pics like those to post..:thumbup:

This was in The Automobile (mag here in the UK for cars built up until 1960) a while ago. I'll see if I can find scans or something online.
