Title: SOLVED! -PJ89- Streamline Time!
Post by: Paul Jaray on April 15, 2009, 12:51:01 PM
Here you are 33 streamliner cars.
All of them of the 30's with 3 exceptions (one car is from 1929, one from 1942 and one from 1943)
I know many of these are reposts, but I like to have them all togheter!


(Points will be added at the end   ;) )

I saw this post but didn't note the author. When I opened it, I took one look and said "I wonder who posted this. Could it have been Paul Jaray?"

Yep. It could only have been Paul Jaray.

Wonderful puzzle. Worthy of your namesake.  :applause: :applause: :applause:

Mr Paul,
Boy, you were not kidding me.
Guess I will hit some of my books, notes and old pictures.

Never seen sooooo many in one spot before, great job!!!
It is so nice to have a catagory for steamliners, might they also be coined, Aero's and Teardrop's also?

Question, not to break order, wasn't an early teen Rumpler credited by Historians as being the very first attempt at a Aero Car?
John
Title: Re: PJ - 89 Streamline Time!
Post by: Paul Jaray on April 15, 2009, 03:09:26 PM
The 1921 Rumpler was one of the first, but what about the 1899 Jenatzy or 1902 Baker or 1902 Serpollet, for example?
BTW while you are here, why don't you try to guess these cars? I'm sure you know at least one of them...

s18 is the Sterkenburg by John Tjaarda. Not sure about the year, though.
s31 looks like the 1934 car that John Tjaarda made for Briggs.

The answer "1933 Pierce Arrow Silver Arrow" belongs to s32, not to s22  ;)

Yes! This wasn't so easy! You have a gooood eye! About the years, no problem, some of them are known, others not. I found this in a '35 magazine.

About the Sterkenburg, I found that John Tjaarda started designing it in 1926. But they didn't tell when the version shown here was finished. Automobilia - la revue de l'histoire automobile, #69, juillet - août 2004. In the same magazine they show the Briggs by Tjaarda, but without a proper name. Both are regarded as prototypes that eventually result in the Lincoln Zephyr.

Can you post a better pic for that?
Title: Re: PJ - 89 Streamline Time!
Post by: DynaMike on April 16, 2009, 05:09:15 PM
I'd like to, but since I still live in the Middle Ages, I don't have a scanner nor a digital camera... I'll ask a friend of mine to make some scans or pics, but I'm not sure when that will be, since he's a busy man...
The Sterkenburg pic is a drawing seen from above (bird's view); the Briggs car is shown in several pics taken on the 1934 Chicago exhibition "Century of Progress" (Briggs stand), also with an interior shot and two shots of the (Ford) V8 engine. They say that the engine is behind the rear axle ('en porte à faux'), but it is clearly visible that it is placed in front of it. there is also a picture of John Tjaarda in front of the car, in a later configuration with air intakes in front of the rear fenders and with 'normal' headlights (like on your pic) - the car had sort of semi-built-in headlights when it was exhibited in Chicago.
In another boek ("Amerikaanse Automobielen 1929-1949" by Frank van der Heul, Uitgeverij Elmar, Rijswijk 1990) i found the same pic of the Sterkenburg as yours, but in a very bad quality (too much contrast).

Paul,
Have a question.
Harris had the car licensed, registered and titled in 1935.

He drove it around shaking the birdcage and drivetrain down.
Believe that part of the actual sheetmetal was on the car,

In 1936 they finished the body and prepped for paint.

Sooooo, with relevance to the topic and in general.

What Year would a person label the Harris Car, 1935 or 1936 ???????

I think it had something to do between him and Buehrig, chicken and egg thing Tuckeroo mentioned in another topic area.

About the year I took the one that is reported in the books and magazines, but I'm sure You know more than everyone!
I think, since it was not a production car, the year should be the one the car was completed in.

I'm both O/T and begging a favour now , but if anyone has anymore than this on the ' Coupe Aerodinamica ' by Pinin Farina on a 6C 2300 Pescara, they would have my profound gratitude as well as having brought pleasure to others as well - forgive my bad form but it has become an (-other) obsession, and this is surely the forum to ask ...

It's great. I would be also very thankful for Fageol's Twin Porsche pictures. I have only one too small photograph. It's not from 30s/40s, but since another Lou Fageol's car was mentioned...

 it looks a bit Corsair too ... it isn't William Fageol, as in NXI/NKI/Metropolitan?
 i'm surprised the Dubonnet Dolphin didn't appear yet - must have missed american streamliners being specified - does anyone have a (contemporary) one of the Dubonnet Xenia for comparison with the Tasco (The American Sportscar Co. ...)?
ps this is the only other shot of that alfa i have seen...

#17 is Ray Russell's plastic bodied car. I don't know exatcly in what year it was built, but it was featured in a december 1941 magazine. He then made another called the Gadabout, seen in your "Bunch of Cars" puzzle.

33 points are waiting.
Only one name is missing.
This company was active in commercial vehicles and buses.
The trailers pictures came from a site about period trailers.
The name doesn't sound french at all, more German, but that's just my impression and this firm is American.

Well, I've found the name of the company who made s28: the Branstrator Body Company. But that doesn't tell me the car's name.
