That Kenworth reminds of the streamliner steam locomotives from the 30's

Else the 1936 GM Streamliners that preceded the Futureliners.

Somewhat interesting is the Morgan Midsummer
www.caranddriver.com/photos/g60790183/morgan-midsummer-revealed-gallery/
The classic Morgan Plus 6 gets ecomodded: Partial grille block, front diverter, side skirts, long tail with box cavity truncation, windshields no bigger than you rear view mirrors, & etc.
Interesting wooden external duct/door pulls. Taller tires on lighter wheels.
Background story on the Morgan/Pinin Farina colalbaration:

Casey the Car Guy built a whole car to get Aerocivic level fuel mileage:
But to be fair he could probably do much better -- if he didn't start from a cold start in the garage.

I'd wager it's a Photochop.
The closest I've seen is this 1/43rd scale coupe. It's got the short wheelbase but a different roofline.
https://www.carmodel.com/norev/15702...pe-ricou/24636
The tire height/wheelbase ratio and the door cutlines differ.
In any case, I like it a lot.

World's fastest single-engined car for decades:
Some amazing stuff -- the rear swing axles used Ford torque tube ball and socket joints instead of CV joints. The brakes were rear only, 1940 Ford!
