Buick Streamliner, 1948. Designed and manufactured in the 1940s by the mechanical engineer Norman E. Timbs. 
Timbs designed and fabricated much of the project himself, which included a custom aluminum body and steel chassis. It took him over two years to finish. He had worked as an Indy 500 designer, the model was influenced by the Auto Union Stromlinie and Mercedes-Benz Stromlinie which took part in the 1937 Avus GP. These cars ran the fastest GP race of all time nearing speeds of 248.40 mph (400 kph). Source: arch2o.com
