Auto in Movies Offers Tips to Industry
Containing many features which might be considered and possibly-adopted by the automobile industry for incorporation into future models, a streamline car appears in one of the latest motion pictures. Its flowing lines result in a body with low wind resistance without sacrificing eye appeal.
so what movie does this awful art-deco abomination appear in?

Did Hollywood have ideas back then?

Once you “productionized” it by increasing the size of the windows, doors and passenger-space-to-overall-size ratio, adding bumpers and a grille opeining that could actually work in everyday use, you’d have a fairly typical mid-to-late ’30s roadster. Which would be a big improvement.

Kind of reminds me of a white Batmobile.

The car in the photo was for “Thank You, Jeeves”
with Arthur Treacher. Note though, only the names
were not changed from the Wodehouse series.
