With its streamlined styling, low-slung chassis and supercharged engine, the Type 57SC Atalante is one of the most desirable Bugattis. It was personally designed by Jean Bugatti as a two-seater sports coupe and became the rarest of the four different body styles offered by Carrosorie Bugatti. The Atalante body style was an interpretation of the 1935 Aérolithe Coupe, essentially a prototype that reached very limited production in 1936 as the Type 57 Atlantic. This somewhat bizarre car used riveted panels to form a streamlined sports coupe. It’s rumored that Jean Bugatti was influenced by the Mercedes-Benz 500 K Autobahnkurier at the 1934 Frankfurt Auto Show and created the Aérolithe as a response.
As majestic and unusual as the Atlantic was, it wasn’t suitable for series production with its high set doors, fussy construction and split front window. The design was revised into the Atalante which included the Aérolithe’s teardrop shape, but with a flat windshield, a separate trunk area with recessed spare-tire and full-size doors that retained the signature kidney-bean windows.
On the 57S Atalante, Jean used a two-tone paint scheme that accentuated the use of his French curve on the side of the car. Typically, the car was black with an intense highlight color. On some cars, this accent dash extended around the entire cabin.
The basis for this remarkable car was Bugatti's top-of-the-line Type 57S chassis. These were the same type that Jean-Pierre Wimille and Robert Benoist drove to win the 1937 24 Hours of Le Mans. It had a much lower chassis than the preceding Type 57 and also used complex de Ram shock absorbers
. In many ways this was the ultimate Bugatti since no logical successor was ever produced. Some cars came with fitted superchargers, while others were retrofitted with them.
To maintain exclusivity, no two of the Type 57S Atalantes were the same. In detail, each was distinct and some major differences were introduced. For instance, two were made as Roll-Back Coupes with reclining soft-tops. Some of the first had independent headlights while others were sculpted into the body. Most featured skirted rear arches and wire wheels or polished aluminum hubcaps. Some of the more dramatic cars feature lengthened rear fenders. Essentially, where anyone tries to make a rule there is usually an exception.
Type 57SC Chassis
Atalante bodies were manufactured on the complete range of Type 57 chassis. This was Jean Bugatti’s answer to model consolation, replacing the six luxurious and sporting chassis made under his father’s direction. Using the dual-overhead camshaft (DOHC) concept engine from the Type 55 road car, he designed an entirely new chassis.
The first of these were the Type 57 and supercharged 57C both were distinguished by their tall radiator and chassis. They were powered by a new engine with 72mm bore and 100mm stroke, producing 135 bhp at 5,000 rpm. Almost as important, they provided the support for Jean Bugatti’s exceptional bodies which were elegant, with balanced proportions and daring colors.
Later, the chassis was definitively upgraded into the lower Type 57S or Surbaissé version. The main chassis rails of this model were elegant and complex. Towards the center of car, the chassis rails became wider and taller to provide the necessary rigidity. At the rear, the axle passed through the chassis and was supported by reversed quarter-elliptic leaf springs. This allowed for the lowest possible ride height while retaining suspension compliance. Furthermore, the engine clearance dictated a dry-sump lubrication was needed that used a 20-liter external reservoir.
Outwardly, the Type 57S chassis was distinguished by its ovoid radiator that formed a deep vee. Other chassis details included self-adjusting DeRam hydraulic shock absorbers on both the front and rear axles. Furthermore, the engine was not a stressed member of the chassis anymore, instead being mounted with rubber bushings.
As the ultimate Atalante, the Type 57SC had both this lower chassis and supercharged engine. It was distinguished by its 4–5 psi supercharger that helped the 3.3-liter engine produce 170 bhp. This Roots unit was mounted at the rear of the engine and driven directly from the camshaft. Versions of this engine went on to win the best races including the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
With such a capable chassis, the Type 57SC has been described as the world’s first supercar

Streamlined Sundays: Cars in the Park
WHEN: July 8, 2018 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
40 classic sports cars from 1967 and earlier will line the Park Blocks outside the Museum for this month’s Streamlined Sunday, a program of The Shape of Speed. Ranging from 1930’s Alfa Romeos to competition Ferraris from the 1960s, Cars in the Park is the kickoff for Keith Martin’s Sports Car Market 30th Anniversary Tour.
This guy was flying right behind me on the ferry. Hovering in the same spot just gliding on the air currents, watching me with a close eye.
LMS Princess Coronation Class 6229 Duchess of Hamilton Streamlined at The National Railway Museum in York on the 7th September 2011. British Railways No 46229.
London Midland & Scottish Railway, 8P Coronation class 4-6-2 No 46229 "Duchess of Hamilton", designed by William Stanier, built at Crewe in 1938 and withdrawn from Edge Hill in February 1964. Seen here in the Streamlined exhibition in the NRM Great Hall (Oddly the most famous Streamliner, Mallard, has been sent to Shildon - all very strange!)
An intresting fact is In 1939 no. 6229 swapped identities with the first of the class 6220 Coronation and was sent to North America with a specially-constructed Coronation Scot train to appear at the 1939 New York World's Fair
El Grande Motel, Trailers and Apts. 10309 N. Nebraska Ave. Tampa, FL. Built in 1940, this is a rare and underappreciated example of Streamlined Moderne in Tampa.

It Takes All Of Us…streamlined to shot success has Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Bremerton staff members providing timely and efficient COVID-19 vaccinations to Sailors in the Pacific Northwest to add a crucial protective shield against the virus and help with the overall effort to stop the spread of COVID-19. Initial doses of the vaccine have been administered to frontline health care workers, along with other first responders, including emergency medical services personnel, security forces, and other essential personnel, followed by health care and support personnel at military medical treatment facilities, active duty service members supporting COVID-19 response operations and to those providing national critical capabilities such as strategic and nuclear forces and homeland defense. An initial shipment of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine that received emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration arrived at NMRTC Bremerton on Dec. 22, 2020, with vaccinations starting the day after. In conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Defense (DoD) distribution plan for administering the vaccine at military medical treatment facilities like NMRTC Bremerton calls for prioritizing through a phased approach to vaccinate all active duty and reserve components, TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Select beneficiaries, and select DoD civilians and contract personnel authorized to receive immunizations from DoD (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).

One of the highlights of the Newbury Classic Vehicle Show was this Hillman Aero Minx Streamlined Saloon. Newbury Racecourse, Berkshire, UK. 2019/08/11
Back to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania for another stainless steel fix. Well, you can't help smiling when you think of BR Mk III stock, or our dear old 4-VEPs and suchlike, let alone the current generation of plastic rolling-stock. Yes, it was very much the American century; there was confidence, prosperity and wealth enough to lavish on the mere presentation of things ...while we muddled along in our macabre, welfare state, luxury-hating, dog-eared, lowest common denominator way. Will it last? In the Guardian, in Islington and at the BBC they are fond of saying, usually with a hint of approval, that America has turned the top of the curve and is on its way down. Meanwhile the nations of the Pacific Rim are coming up fast ...China, India &c. &c. Who knows? I've always treated the whole "science" of Futurology with extreme scepticism. It's the witch-doctory of a techno-materialist age. Remember that chap Herman Kahn who used to be about in the 60s? If he'd based his predictions on the reading of chicken innards or tea leaves rather than pie-charts and slide rules, he'd have been laughed off as a charlatan and crank, rather than deferentially interviewed by Kenneth Allsop on Tonight. What goes up must come down, of course. In the fortunes of nations and empires, as when you throw a ball into the air, the cessation of ascent is simultaneous with the commencement of descent. All you can say at the moment is that any other nation would still have a long way to go to catch up. Those who live longest will see most.

La Cementerio de la Recoleta (Recoleta Cemetery), set in 5.5 hectares or the equivalent of about four city blocks, has more than 350,000 people buried in an estimated 4,7000 vaults--all above ground, and many of which have been declared National historical Monuments. Many of the elaborate marble mausoleums are decorated with statues, in a wide variety of architectural styles such as Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Baroque, and Neo-Gothic The cemetery was inaugurated under the name Cementerio del Norte (Northern Cemetery) on November 17, 1822, around Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, the church and convent built in 1732 and abandoned in 1822 by the monks of the Order of the Recoletos. The original 1822 layout was designed by architect and civil engineer Próspero Catelin, and an 1881 remodeling was handled by Italian architect Juan Antonio Buschiazzo.

We had a trip out on the train to York in June 2011 and this set show the places we visited. This is the front end of the LMS Stanier Streamlined Coronation Pacific "Duchess of Hamilton" in the National Railway Museum.
Streamlined and extra flexible. The body will be pushing the limits of how small it can be and still fit a human.
Ex-LNER A4 streamlined Pacific, 60009 'Union of South Africa' heads the returning Torbay Express (1650 Kingswear to Bristol Temple Meads) passed the corn fields of Stoke Canon, north of Exeter on Sunday, 15th July 2018.
Due to a Network Rail restriction on steam locomotives running on full power and the possibility of lineside fires, the A4 is just idling whilst the accompanying Class 66 is doing the work.
A66 nears Whelans Road crossing with the 16:10 Bacchus Marsh pass. For a number of years now enthusiasts have been hearing the end of the A class on the mainline, and yet A66 has kept bucking the trend. At this time A66 had been given a month left before retirement with an unsure future, but only time will tell. 23/7/2018
The PRR S1 class steam locomotive (nicknamed "The Big Engine") was a single experimental duplex locomotive of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It was designed to demonstrate the advantages of duplex drives espoused by Baldwin Chief Engineer Ralph P. Johnson. It was the longest and heaviest rigid frame reciprocating steam locomotive that was ever built. The streamlined Art Deco styled shell of the locomotive was designed by Raymond Loewy.
The S1 had a unique 6-4-4-6 wheel arrangement, meaning that it had two pairs of cylinders, each driving two pairs of driving wheels. To achieve stability at fast passenger train speeds (above 100 mph), articulation was not used. The S1 was completed on January 31, 1939, at Altoona shop, and was numbered 6100.
At 140 ft 2 1⁄2 in (42.74 m) overall, engine and tender, the S1 was the longest reciprocating steam locomotive ever; it also had the heaviest tender (451,840 lb / 205 tonnes), highest tractive effort (76,403 lbf (339.86 kN)) of a passenger steam engine when built and the largest drivers (84 inch diameter) ever used on a locomotive with more than three coupled axles. The problem of wheel slippage, along with a wheelbase that was too long for many of the rail line's curves, limited the S1's usefulness. No further S1 models were built as focus shifted to the much smaller but more practical class T1 in June 1940. Design of the 4-4-4-4 T1 and the 6-4-4-6 S1 occurred concurrently, however, the S1 was the first produced. (Per Wikipedia)
In reality, this giant machine (6-4-4-6 wheel configuration) never operated in the steel regions of Pennsylvania, but because of its length was confined to the prairie country between Ohio and Chicago where it could negotiate the more gradual curves.

The artwork by an unidentified artist is titled “Twilight in the Berkshires.” This stunning illustration captures the romance of rail travel at its peak. The way the artist portrays the streamlined train against the rich hues of twilight, with rolling mountains and a winding river, creates a sense of tranquility and adventure. The warm tones of the sky contrast with the sleek metallic train, making it the centerpiece of the scene.
The ad does a masterful job of selling not just a mode of transportation, but an experience. The mention of private-room accommodations, fine dining, and an observation car immediately elevates the journey from mere travel to luxury. Phrases like “sleep on the smooth Water Level Route” and “see the picturesque Berkshires by day” make it clear that passengers won’t just be getting from Boston to Albany—they’ll be savoring every mile.
It also taps into nostalgia and regional pride—New England’s charm is undeniable, and the ad presents it as something worth experiencing firsthand. It’s the kind of advertisement that would appeal to both business travelers and leisure seekers, painting the railroad as an elegant, comfortable, and scenic way to travel.
That era of rail travel had a sense of style and adventure—it wasn’t just about getting from point A to point B, but about the journey itself. Imagine settling into a comfortable seat, watching the Berkshires roll by as twilight paints the sky in deep reds and oranges, maybe even enjoying a meal in the dining car with linen tablecloths and fine china. It really was an experience worth savoring.

Starting in May of 1941, the ACL Champion streamlined diesel passenger trains, so successful in the run to Miami, began running to both coasts of Florida. For awhile, the trains were named Tamiami (Tampa-Miami) Champion, and even had the name painted on the engine nose. Here, ACL E6A locomotive 515 leads the northbound St. Petersburg return. The two sections would be joined in Jacksonville before proceeding to the Northeast. George W. Pettengill Jr. photo, C. K. Marsh Jr. collection
