Streamlined Car: October 1934

As far as home-built cars go, this model is one of the more novel designs in our archives. Dr. Calvin B. Bridges, a biologist from California, designed his car for lightness and speed. Weighing just 700 pounds, his vehicle was powered by a motorcycle engine and was expected to run 60 miles per hour. A gallon of gasoline could power it through 50 to 70 miles of travel. Like the Velodye, Bridges' car reduced wind resistance to a minimum, while its light frame, which was made of welded chrome-molybdenum steel tubes, would help the vehicle attain more mileage than one would expect from a car of its size.

Father of the Teardroppers: Lyman Voelpel’s “Arrow Plane”
http://theoldmotor.com/?p=171888

Quote:
Based on the aerodynamic advances incorporated into airplane design in the 1920s and early-1930s wealthy Chicago resident Lyman Voelpel commissioned the Hill Auto Body Metal Company of Cincinnati to construct his “Arrow Plane” in 1932.

The unique coachwork was built on a 1932 Ford Model “B” chassis with the four-cylinder powerplant turned around and mounted in the rear.

Well I was going to reply to this and ask if it was really F150 based, I was going to add the tag line 'paging Curt Egerer' then I looked at who posted it and realized I was stupid to question you.

I was thinking of the Mustang that Mike Hurst used to run which is a different one. Any more details on the car you posted?

This one is still a Fox body underneath.
Eek, why doesn't Pelican automatically re-size images like every other forum?
