Is everything from the 30's shaped like a teardrop?

[Mike B]

This from a 'wanted' ad on Craig's list in Spokane:



This is a trailer in Spokane. The guy is looking for something similar. You suppose he'd like a teardrop?

The 30's was a very enlightened age, wasn't it?

Nice trailer..Iv'e allways loved everything old..Even when I was young..Growing up in a small town in ohio...there were alot of Amish folks around...Kind uf rubed off on me..In the 30's technology was realley taking off..I remember listing to whlo radio on my crystal radio...(think thats the call letters} Wow theres a great big world out there! & I wanted to know all about it...Once they found out how to curve or round metal..they went nuts w/it...The roots of what was to follow....Take care...vinoscooter

I believe one of the major art genres of the 1930's was knows ans Streamline. Refrigerators, radios, the Chrysler Building, all are examples of the streamline idea.
I too love the technology of that era

I just love retro stuff.

Flash Gordon had a lot of influence, don't you think?

This trailer reminds me of the helmet worn by the Rocketeer. I think this is a 1935 Bowlus.

yep that looks like the Bowlus, had one at our gathering last september in Cottonwood, AZ. My 1939 chevy coupe is teardrop shaped too. Eddie

Mr Bowlus was a glider designer and had a lot to do with the engineering of the Spirit of St Louis. No wonder his trailer designs display an aerodynamic appearance

I loved the Rocketeer! Esp. his love interest. She was a babe!
