Mid-Century Modernism Industrial Designer

Hi Alan,
I thought I would send this along for the interest of our fellow club members who enjoy the Art Deco designs of Walter Dorwin Teague. He was very prolific, designing glass, engraved designs, radios, etc. This is a new one on me and hence the “share”. I do not believe the car was ever produced, but it falls right into the 1930’s era when there was much involvement with “stream lining” nearly everything.

Kind regards,
