Darn, I was going to guess that Airstream and Porsche got together and had an illegitimate love child...
That what I was thinking Ha Ha.
Same here.
It was designed in 1938 by F. Porsche and Edwin Komenda and built in 1939. Looks ugly to us but without the aid of computers/wind tunnels, a lot of guess work went into the designs. And it ended up very slippery, considering.
Porsche came up with the Auto Union grand prix sixteen cylinder mid engine car that maxed at 180 mph. Would have been quite the rush to run on the Nurburging straights in an open cockpit, no roll bar screamer at 150-180 mph in the 1930's.
