The unspeakable crimes I’d do to drive you forever and ever into the sunset

Achingly beautiful.

This stunning piece of art has a very low drag coefficient and achieved it prior to wind tunnel technology. Having taped pieces of felt to the car, they photographed it while in motion to record the airflow.

I saw this car at the Portland Art Museum’s Allure of the Automobile exhibit, and I do believe it to be one of the most elegant, beautiful, and sophisticated automobiles I’ve ever laid eyes upon.
