Mechanical engineer Norman E. Timbs created this dramatic streamliner in the 1940s which in many ways was the ultimate American hot rod. He 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 and the resulting chic roadster was good enough for cover of Motor Trend as well as features in Mechanix Illustrated, Popular Mechanics and Motor Life.
Leading up to this design, Mr. Timbs had worked as an Indy 500 designer on cars such as the Blue Crown Specials which won Indy several times. Mr. Timbs was no doubt influenced by the 1937 Auto Union Typ C Stromlinie and 1937 Mercedes-Benz W25 Avus Stromlinie which ran the 1937 Avus GP. His sensational shape was a very close approximation to these cars which ran the fastest GP race of all time nearing speeds of 248.40 mph (400 kph).
The body was nod to the German GP cars which at the time mimicked aeronautical practice. Norm's design was free of the over indulgences such as huge chrome bumpers and large tail fins that eventually dominated American design. The streamliner's chic elegance was a rarity in America, even if was outdated by post-war standards.
Today, the cars's smooth shape is still as pleasing to the eye as it was in 1948. The boy is is long and low with a complete underbelly panel. With the engine occupying the rear of the chassis, the cockpit is pushed forward much like the Auto Union Typ D. In keeping with the aerofoil shape, no doors are cut out of the body. A large one-piece rear panel opens hydraulically to reveal the entire rear end of the chassis.
The car was based around a 1947 Buick “Super 8” engine which powered the 2200 lb car to 120 mph. The main chassis was built up from five-inch steel tubes which kicked up over the rear axle. To offer a smooth ride, a modified 1947 Ford suspension was utilized.
Road & Track reported that it took Mr Timbs 2 1/2 years to create the car at a cost of $10,000 USD. The body was created entirely in aluminum by Emil Diedt for $8,000 alone. The shape was formed by hand over a traditional wooden buck.
At first the Streamliner was only used on the show circuit until Jim Davis of California bought it in 1952. He used it in and around Manhattan Beach, California and let Motor Life photograph it for a feature article.
The car was discovered in the desert pretty much intact in 2002. It was bought at auction and restored by Dave Crouse at Custom Auto, Inc. in Loveland, Colorado for owners Gary & Diane Cerveny of Malibu, California. After its “complete and exacting” restoration, it debuted at the 2010 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance in a class reserved for Motor Trend Cover Cars.

... one must sometimes destroy.
A section of exterior wall at the MainPlace mall in Santa Ana, CA, stripped down for renovation.
It looks as though MainPlace used to be a part of the Westfield portfolio, like many of the destination malls in my home town of San Diego still are, but has since been sold to another manager. Echoes of Westfield still remain, however, such as the branding on some of the food court tables.
MainPlace is an older mall in a modest area of Orange County; it has neither the high-end glamour of South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa nor the outdoor panache of Irvine's Spectrum Center. But for a middle-class 80s kid like me it has an intense nostalgia that can't be beat. I hope it continues its comeback.
Got a chance to fly over the sea for a little while...and it welcomed me with the perfect Ariel shot.
St Andrew Square has been transformed into a field of swaying, colourful globes as part of a unique art installation called Field of Light by British artist Bruce Munro.
Comprising around 9000 glowing glass orbs rising from illuminated stems, the installation bursts into bloom at dusk, when the coloured globes light up and gently change colour. Munro, who created the first Field of Light in a field behind his Wiltshire home, says he was inspired by the heat and brightness of the Red Desert in Australia during a visit in 1992.
The installation runs from 3 February until 27 April 2014.
Created for the Digitalmania challenge where this week we are taking inspiration from the work of Lynne Perrella.
This piece is inspired by her JOURNALS work.

I think that AI image generation is similar in many ways to photography. The camera itself handles all the fine details, but the photographer is in charge of curating the types of images that will be created.
Ultimately, it is all about maximizing the probability that something good will be created.
This is very similar to AI image generation, in terms of the skills involved and what the human does vs. what the machine does.
You can't compare AI image generation to the process of actually making these images from scratch with 3D software or paint/pencils, where the human controls every detail.
However, I think the process really is very similar to that of photography, as I made the case for above.

I thought he was a little dorky (the wig was a bit of a challenge so I'm hoping you hair stylistas out there who do manage to get him do something fun with it) but nonetheless he's cute. He'll be my 'Justin Biter' = cute, not too sexy, non-threatening and full of swag.

Once upon a time, there was a lovely little sportscar called the Ford Thunderbird.
The first generation lasted 1955-1957 and mixed a compact V8 with a two-seat Convertible bodystyle, subtle fins, and optional continental-style spare wheel. Its natural competitor was Chevrolet's Corvette - a model which had taken a little time to get off the start line.
Come 1958, Ford decided that four seater would find more appeal, based on the new, larger Ford sedan, this model the 'square bird' also boasetd quad lamps, a bottom-feeder grille, and assorted accouterments lavished carelessly over most of the markets 1958 models.
In 1961, in what might have been considered another opportunity to eff things up, the Ford Executive committee decided that they would pair the Thunderbird with another of the Ford Corporations low-volume specialist models - the Lincoln Continental.
Though some superficial similarities also exist, it is a large portion of the front underbody systems that are shared. Both vehicles are quite striking - the Continental particularly so.
The Thunderbird looked like a bullet - long pointy nose, with afterburner tail lamps. A hardtop Coupe was also available.
AT the 1962 launch thecar was equiped with 390 CID (6.4 litre) V8, for 1962, a new 'M' code engine was also available, with three twin-carburetors and the 406 engine heads. This lifted power to 345 bhp (257 kW). This motor was dropped half way through the 1963 model year.
Stunning though it is, the Thunderbird had grown from a petite 2-seat sportscar into a 205 in (5,270 mm) cruiser and would basically stay that way until the end of production of the tenth generation in 1997.
This Lego miniland scale Ford 1961 Thunderbird Convertible has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 99th Build Challenge - "Land Yachts" - a challenge to build a vehicle meeting the typical definition of a land yacht - a very large vehicle marketed to US consumers 1950 - 1980 fuel crisis.
