Road Vehicle Bearing Strong Resemblance To Early Diesel Streamliners

Looks cool, gotta be tough to drive without mirrors!

Very nice. There was an Alan Moore comicbook called Top Ten about a police force in a world of all superheroes a few years ago. There were a lot of fun pop culture references sprinkled through out it. Anyway this vehicle was used as a bank robbery getaway car. Funny.

Perhaps add a 1/43 model to your collection!

This was known as the GM Futurliner they were produced for the 1939 New York World's fair. Later GM did a tour with the trucks called the Parade of Progress you can see the details here and by searching the internet with the above key words.

There are 1/64 and 1/43 models available;

These are close but not the same. The image Bob posted is based on the UP streamliner.

Here is a Futurliner

Here is a fav of mine the Stout Scarab

More info about that first photo; it was custom-built one-of-a-kind:

M10000 and Chrysler Airflow 1934 - 1937

I was thinking Futurliner too until I saw the picture of the Futurliner. Definitely not a Futurliner. I like the look even better than the GM products.

My wife wants a new minivan. I wish we could get one that looks like the Duro Metals vehicle! That art deco/airflow look is super cool. Unfortunately my wife doesn't agree.
