Product Description
[Hoppe & Streier Nobel Streamliner 1946 (USA)]
- The idea that Los Angeles native Jack Nobel came up with at the end of World War II was so far from normal vehicle design that it was quite eye-opening.
- I don't know what was the deciding factor, but he got a lot of high-quality aircraft aluminum.
- Bent it, welded it and thinned it to make room for the engine in the rear.
- Some of the few documents only mention that it is a Chrysler engine.
- According to the manufacturer at the time, the Streamliner ran at a speed of 131 miles (about 210km/h), so it must have had considerable horsepower.
- The body is 18 feet (5.4 meters) long and was designed with aerodynamics in mind.
- The driver's seat was located forward, directly behind the front wheel axle.
- The small front wheel was specially covered with a teardrop shaped aluminum fairing.
- This unique car was published in various articles in popular magazines of the time and became known throughout the country.
- In 1946, magazines such as Popular Mechanics published a very brief introduction to the revolutionary Streamliner.
- After that, it disappeared from the public eye and disappeared completely, but no one complained about it.
