far from the utilitarian work tractor, this 1948 orchard model from IH McCormick Deering is very streamlined!

IH commissioned an industrial designer, Raymond Loewy, to give the new Farmall general-purpose tractors a sleek new streamlined look. Designed for small-to-medium size American farms, IH's new machines offered a wider variety of capabilities, engines, and equipment options.
IH took care to produce a model for almost every farm and every need. Sales took off, and letter-series production did not end until 1954. Overall, the Farmall 'letter' series, well built and affordable, became not only a defining product line in IH history, but an iconic symbol of the prototypical American small-farm tractor. Many machines (especially the two largest models, the H and M) are still in operation on farms today.
great looking interior, remember when car makers cared enough to design a good looking fabric interior?

the futuristic car in the movie Cloud Atlas were possibly inspired by the Count De Sakhnoffsky streamlined designs

Nardi-Giannini 750 Bisiluro By Carlo Mollino

Made for the 1955 Le Mans.
Regarding the design of "things that move", history gives us quite a catalogue of proposals to improve the breed by echoing a form across some sort of bridging element. With names like "twinpod", "twin-boom", "twin-fuselage", "doublehull", or "catamaran", the designer's fascination with mirroring a good idea has been around ever since the Garden of Eden, when God decided two breasts looked seriously cooler than one.
looking at the images of the Bisiluro racing at Le Mans in 1955 one finds a closer visual connection to modern motorcycle sidecar racers than to aeroplanes. (It was not the last four-wheeled race car to work this asymmetry scheme either. A notable composition was the Smokey Yunick sidecar racer attempt at Indy in 1964) http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/12/greatest-innovation-in-bumpers-ever.html
That the lightweight racer was literally sucked off the course by a passing Jaguar must have been doubly frustrating for the team. Car Design-wise, the Bisiluro fits into a category I would call "Non-Car Cars", those purposeful objects that stir the imaginations of Car Designers by allowing them to incorporate a new proportion, perspective, form, structure or detail into their concept of a "Car" without having to carry all the functional and cultural baggage of being "automobiles".

1929 Packard model 640 Runabout, with Woodlite headlights
Diposting oleh Unknown
beautiful hood shape and grill design transitioning to the firewall. Terrific colors as well
Notice the headlight and auxiliary light/turn signal are the same design but different sizes... more about those a couple photos below
here I photographed the headlight above, and the turn signal or auxillary light on the cowl, to show these are of the same shape and maybe same manufacturer. This is the first time I think I've seen the mini Woodlites.
and how about the second windshield for the rumble seat? Wow
