The Streamliners!
From the 19th-century, clunky-looking steam engines to the sleek, streamlined 20th-century look, emoting speed and progress in the machine age! Initially the streamline steel was put over the older steam engines, then later oil and diesel units were built. Designers Raymond Loewy and Henry Dreyfus were instrumental in some of the designs.
