I got to see one of these at a museum in Boston a few years ago. Interesting automobile

Arguably, "designed in the last part of the chemically-altered Egyptology craze" shows as well.

I saw one at a Concours D'Elegance in the western suburbs of Chicago. The details on this car, and especially the interior, are some of the coolest things I've seen on a car from that period. It's definitely WAY ahead of its time!

I love that thing. Apparently a couple of them are unaccounted for. One can dream.

So much Art Deco streamlining!

I love this design period.

This is what I always imagined a VW Beetle Wagon should look like.
