Airflow trends on two continents
Two versions of airflow streamlining are shown here. The new De Soto Airflow (above) represents America’s bid for continued leadership in the motor car design trend which it pioneered. The French Peugeot Coupe (below), with its hidden headlights and disappearing single piece top, is indicative of the marked swing to airflow styling on the newest creations of European designers.
Creation Year: ca. 1936
