1942 DeSoto "Cyclone"
Don't let the future pass you by.

This rendering for a futuristic streamliner has all the qualities of an Alex Tremulis exersize, and may have been an intended companion to the Tremulis-designed 1941 Chrysler Thunderbolt showcars. In honor of this speculation, Area "EX" has designated this car "Cyclone."

Tremulis later became chief stylist at Tucker. Note the Tucker-like prow dividing the bumper/grille combination. Headlamp doors and front fenders bear a strong resemblence to those used on the production 1942 DeSoto.
