Agreed. The Mercury was much nicer than his later designs - even if it is just a shell / bodywork.

I wonder if there were many gains to be had by streamlining a locomotive. Esp. relative to the load it pulls??

Seriously, I'd like to see what kind of contortions the human body has to undergo to make that thing move forward.








In April of last year, this was the livery design Haas was considering for their cars. I wonder if they changed it because they found out Renault already had that dirty yellow color and black back end on theirs. I like Renault's livery, BTW.

Actually, not nearly as bad as you would think, I will get a video next time I am over there.
