This streamlined saloon, with a monocoque aluminum coachwork, was the last big Panhard. Its sleeve valve engine was outdated, but apart from that this baroque and expensive car was extremely modern : all-round independent wheels and one of the first with a dual hydraulic brake circuit. Three seats in the front with a central steering wheel were difficult to accept, and as from 1939 the steering wheel was moved to the left-hand side. 2.230 models were built.

Alisterus is a genus of medium-sized Australasian parrots, comprising the Australian king parrot (Alisterus scapularis), the Papuan king parrot (A. chloropterus) and the Moluccan king parrot (A. amboinensis). The three species are respectively found in eastern Australia, Papua, the Moluccas and other Indonesian islands. Predominantly of red and green plumage, the long-tailed parrots are related to the genera Aprosmictus and Polytelis. The two subspecies of the Australian king parrot are similar except in size. The male has a red head and neck, red lower parts, blue back and rump, and green wings, each with a pale-green band (resembling a shoulder stripe). In the female, the head is green, the green being continuous over the neck, chest, and back. Red plumage covers the lower abdomen, and the pale-green wing band is small or absent. Juvenile males also have a green neck and head.
Magnolia champaca, known in English as champak, is a large evergreen tree in the family Magnoliaceae. It is known for its fragrant flowers, and its timber used in woodworking. The tree is native to the Indomalaya ecozone, consisting of South Asia, Southeast Asia−Indochina, and southern China. In its native range Magnolia champaca grows to 50 metres or taller. Its trunk can be up to 1.9 metres in diameter. The tree has a narrow umbelliform crown. It has strongly fragrant flowers in varying shades of cream to yellow-orange which bloom during June to September. R_46127
Henry M. Flagler's Florida East Coast Railroad Line reached Palm Beach in 1894. The Seaboard Airline Railroad Line laid tracks to Palm Beach as late as 1921-1924. It was after 1921 that the Seaboard Airline tracks reached West Palm Beach. Reference to the Seaboard Airline Railroad Station appears in a book printed in 1926.
S. Davis Warfield was president of Seaboard Air Line and in 1924 Warfield built a cross-state line that serviced West Palm Beach and Miami and Homestead in 1926, making a direct rail connection from one coast to the other, across the state. In 1938 the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Airline Railroad Line formed a network over Florida. Trains were air-conditioned and streamlined, and power was generated by Diesel-electric locomotives.
Stockholders in the railroad were important Palm Beach residents, and this station combined their taste in architecture, and their desire for service and convenience, for the community related to their vacation and retirement residences.
L. Phillips Clarke, who designed all of the Seaboard Railroad stations, built his first station at Auburndale. The West Palm Beach station appeared in 1924-1925.
The north-south dimension, paralleling the tracks, is approximately 178 feet. It is 43 feet deep, not including (at the sides) a 13-foot platform on the west. The building is mainly one story high, with a single office on a two-story level near the center and a three-stage tower on the south corner of the east or entrance facade on Tamarind Avenue.
The plan is rectangular, divided essentially in half, with express room and baggage room to the left or south, and behind the loggia the two waiting rooms, now one, separated on the east by restrooms and on the west by the ticket office. The loggia surrounds most of the front and ends, and the shed—roofed passenger platform on the rear or trackside.
The City of West Palm Beach, following a purchase of the building in 1988, tapped local architecture firm Oliver Glidden & Partners to head a $4.3 million restoration of the structure. The project was completed and the station rededicated in a ceremony attended by the Florida Governor in April 1991. Architect Robert D. Brown directed the restoration of ornamental cast stone elements, exterior masonry, doors, windows, and iron and tile work. The red clay tile roof was replaced, as were the electrical, lighting, plumbing and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Abatement of lead and asbestos was further required to bring the historic structure up to modern building code standards. The restoration effort earned the Florida Trust Award for Historic Preservation in 1994.
In summer 2012, the city finished an improvement project that included the installation of new sidewalks and more than five dozen trees around the building. The improvements were funded with a $750,000 Transportation Enhancement grant from the Federal Highway Administration, to which the city provided a $150,000 local match.
The station has two side platforms, with access to the station on both sides. West of the southbound platform is a long loop of bus bays serving Palm Tran routes. East of the northbound platform is the station house, a small parking lot, and bus stops for Greyhound Lines buses and Tri-Rail shuttles.

April 1933 a slightly improved version was introduced from the initial Superior 400 version. The body was less boxy and slightly more streamlined.
The Dutch journalist Paul Schilperoord (1977) tracked down one of the last remaining Standard Superior in eastern Germany. It had survived in the DDR but it had been radically modified in the meantime. The front doors, windscreen and rear lights were taken from a 1958-1965 Trabant P50/P60.
Only the chassis with engine and the complete nose of the Superior was kept original.
The car was transported to the Netherlands for restoration back to its original appearance.
After finishing restoration Paul Schilperoord and Lorenz Schmid visited a classic VW Beetle meeting in Germany with their Standard Superior. Many visitors did not recognize the car or even know about it. Some were wondering what they were doing here on this Beetle meeting. Even today Ganz and his creation had to tackle disbelieve and skepticism.
By the way the Superior drivers were spoken to sternly by uncle officer because the license plate was missing.
Some background info:
In the 1930s there was an increasing need for a real people's car in the German-speaking region. A car affordable for the masses, the so called 'Volkswagen'.
One of the leading engineers at that time was Josef Ganz (Budapest, 1898-1967). After he had worked for Adler, BMW, Daimler-Benz and Röhr, he developed his own minicar in 1931, the 'Maikäfer'.
In Standard Fahrzeugbau he found a manufacturer and in 1932 the Standard Superior 400 was launched (officially presented at the IAMA, the Berlin international motor show, Febr. 1933).
This cheap car was based on the 'Maikäfer' principles: tubular chassis, rear engine, independent wheel suspension and with a streamlined body.
Journalist Paul Schilperoord wrote a very interesting book about the history of the development of the VW Beetle in the 1930s. In this book he describes the life and works of Josef Ganz who's technical ideas were taken over by Ferdinand Porsche. The book reads like a very exciting story.
See: Paul Schilperoord, Het ware verhaal van de Kever: hoe Hitler het ontwerp van een Joods genie confisqueerde, Veen Magazines, 2009.

The collections of the Deutsches Technikmuseum in Berlin includes a variety of preserved U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tramway and motor coach vehicles. Streamlined bus, 1938, by G. Fritsche of Flöha, Saxonia, based on a frame, gearbox and engine of an Opel Blitz. Photos taken during the 2012 and 2014 open day at the reserve depot near the main museum.
New York Central Railroad Nr. 5450 was a "Hudson" type steam locomotive built by Alco in 1938
This streamlined locomotive was used for high speed passenger service on the New York Central's famous passenger trains, such as the 20th Century Limited
On September 7, 1943, Nr. 5450 suffered a boiler explosion in Canastota, New York, killing three enginemen and putting her out of service until the end of World War II due to a steel shortage
A streamlined express train headed by an F-unit in Rock Island paint scheme is passing through a street running section in the art deco Metropius fantasy world. The train is a TT scale (1:120) model, for the environment, I used a screenshot from a Metropius movie.
Streamlined, aerodynamic, this (extremely) long-legged shorebird is closely related to the American Avocet, and often found in close proximity. This one appears to be scolding me while rocketing through the sky, but honestly I can't recall if it was vocalizing. Somehow I managed to focus-track and get this shot at the right split-second. Morning light.
It's Canada Day. I almost posted a shot of our flag and the provincial flag of Saskatchewan, from the spring, stretched out in a prairie breeze on our local school's flagpole. But... no. That might launch me into a political tirade about our new Prime Minister, a banker, evidently the best we could do. (Not that I'm a conservative; far, far from it.) And that train of thought just leads to a downward spiral of gloom and even despair.
At this stage of life I prefer to sit alone, out on the wild prairie, perhaps levitating about six inches off the ground, watching the clouds or birds or grasses blowin' in the wind. That's where the answer is, according to Bob Dylan (circa 1963). He may be right.

One of the Ann Arbor's distinctive streamlined cupola cabeese once sat next to the former C&O mainline in Traverse City, along with an ex AA boxcar as part of a historical display. Unfortunately, the equipment was repeatedly vandalized in TC, and has since been moved to a new home at the Buckley Old Engine Show in Buckley, MI. I've always thought this style of caboose was cool. It is interesting to note that both of the AA's parent railroads, the Wabash and later the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton, also operated this style of caboose, though they had no relation to each other. The DT&I’s cabooses of this style were actually former Ann Arbor cabooses that were transferred during the DT&I’s ownership of the Annie.

Visiting Tat Luang Falls is a great way to enjoy Thailand's natural beauty in the peaceful surroundings of Nan Province. The Tat Luang waterfalls located in Doi Phu Kha National Park consist of multiple levels and streams in a picturesque setting of rocks and greenery. The water falls down in steps, which offers a spectacular sight. It is a perfect place for nature lovers, adventurers and those looking for a peaceful and serene environment. Surrounded by lush vegetation, the falls provide a refreshing escape from the heat of Thailand. Visitors can enjoy swimming in the natural pools at the base of the falls or relaxing on the rocks while listening to the soothing sound of rushing water. In addition to admiring the falls, visitors can also enjoy walks and hikes in the area. The national park offers several hiking trails and viewpoints, allowing you to enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The Tat Luang falls with an abundance of big fish called Tor Soro nowadays. Since it is a national park, fishing is not allowed.
The Tor Soro fish is related to the carp and lives mainly in Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand. The Tor Soro faces the current and swims against it to stay in place. They do this and wait for small insects, worms and other food to float by on the current. It's an easy way for them to catch food without having to swim around. They use their streamlined body and powerful tail to keep themselves in one place in the stream and keep the food coming to them. These soft-finned freshwater fish typically have toothless jaws and are harmless to humans. Photo of Samantha sitting on a rock amidst the soothing sounds of running water at That Luang Waterfall.
Het bezoeken van de Tat Luang-watervallen is een geweldige manier om te genieten van de natuurlijke schoonheid van Thailand in de rustige omgeving van de provincie Nan. De Tat Luang watervallen gelegen in Doi Phu Kha National Park bestaan uit meerdere niveaus en stromen in een schilderachtige omgeving van rotsen en groen. Het water valt trapsgewijs naar beneden, wat een spectaculair gezicht biedt. Het is een perfecte plek voor natuurliefhebbers, avonturiers en mensen die op zoek zijn naar een rustige en serene omgeving. De watervallen zijn omgeven door weelderige vegetatie en bieden een verfrissende ontsnapping aan de hitte van Thailand. Bezoekers kunnen genieten van zwemmen in de natuurlijke zwembaden aan de voet van de watervallen of ontspannen op de rotsen terwijl ze luisteren naar het kalmerende geluid van stromend water. Naast het bewonderen van de watervallen kunnen bezoekers ook genieten van wandelingen en trektochten in de omgeving. De Tat Luang-watervallen met tegenwoordig een overvloed aan grote vissen genaamd Tor Soro. Aangezien het een nationaal park is mag er niet gevist worden. Deze vis is familie van de karpers en leeft voornamelijk in Indonesië, Maleisië, Myanmar en Thailand. De Tor Soro kijkt tegen de stroom in en zwemt er tegenin om op zijn plaats te blijven. Ze doen dit en wachten tot kleine insecten, wormen en ander voedsel op de stroming voorbij drijven. Het is een gemakkelijke manier voor hen om voedsel te vangen zonder rond te hoeven zwemmen. Ze gebruiken hun gestroomlijnde lichaam en krachtige staart om zichzelf op één plek in de stroom te houden en het voedsel naar zich toe te laten komen. Deze zoetwatervissen met zachte vinnen hebben typisch tandeloze kaken en zijn onschadelijk voor de mens. Foto van Samantha zittend op een rots temidden van de rustgevende geluiden van stromend water bij de That Luang-waterval.
New Haven Railroad Besler streamlined passenger train set 9210-9211 is undergoing service, maintenance and repair in the yard at Bridgeport Connecticut, November 11, 1936. If you observe closely you can see an employee working under the front end of the streamlined trainset. This streamlined trains set was constructed from two old heavyweight cars and was made into the streamlined train set that you see which is actually steam powered on the leading truck. Unfortunately at the time according to the financial situation of the railroad, this set could not be constructed as new with two lighweight cars being built instead of using the heavyweight cars. Then according to reports, the steam power assembly worked well, but it was being over woirked due to the extra wight of the heavyweight cars.

A yardang is a streamlined protuberance carved from bedrock or any consolidated or semiconsolidated material by the dual action of wind abrasion by dust and sand, and deflation which is the removal of loose material by wind turbulence. Yardangs become elongated features typically three or more times longer than wide, and when viewed from above, resemble the hull of a boat. Facing the wind is a steep, blunt face that gradually gets lower and narrower toward the lee end.[2] Yardangs are formed by wind erosion, typically of an originally flat surface formed from areas of harder and softer material. The soft material is eroded and removed by the wind, and the harder material remains. The resulting pattern of yardangs is therefore a combination of the original rock distribution, and the fluid mechanics of the air flow and resulting pattern of erosion.
New Haven Railroad Baldwin I-5 class 4-6-4 streamlined Hudson steam locomotive # 1400 is leading its nine car passenger train along the Shore Line at an unspecified location, ca 1940's. Powering A nine car heavyweight passenger train was only moderate work for these Hudson steam locomotives. You can see the fireman's arm in his cab window.

The modern looking streamlined Peugeot 402 series was presented at the 1935 Paris Motor Show. In the early 1930s revolutionary aerodynamic theories were applied for the first time to mass produced cars. Avant-garde cars like 1934 Tatra 77 and the 1934 Chrysler Airflow gained a lot of positive attention. The 402 was Peugeot's answer to its direct competitor the streamlined 1934 Citroën TA.
The 402 was developed by the Département Études Carrosseries, under supervision of Henri Thomas.
The Peugeot 02-series was also called Fuseau-Sochaux.
The 402 series replaced the predecessors 401 and 601 (from 1934-1935).
Many body variants were available.
The 402 B with an increased engine, followed in Summer 1938.
Besides several Art Deco details, the headlamps placed behind the grille were very remarkable.

This native bird has distinctive bald red head and yellow throat. Also frequently called the scrub turkey or bush turkey, it is a common, widespread species of mound-building bird from the family Megapodiidae found in eastern Australia from Far North Queensland to Eurobodalla on the south coast of New South Wales. The Australian brush turkey has also been introduced to Kangaroo Island in South Australia. It is the largest extant representative of the family Megapodiidae, and is one of three species to inhabit Australia. Despite its name and their superficial similarities, the bird is not closely related to American turkeys, nor to the Australian bustard, which is also known as the bush turkey. Its closest relatives are the wattled brush turkey, Waigeo brush turkey, and malleefowl. Brush turkey eggs are a favourite food of goannas, snakes, and dingoes and dogs, though brush turkeys were also a staple of Aboriginal Australians. Often, goannas exhibit wounds on their tails from having been pecked by brush turkeys that ferociously chase them away from their nests. In situations where they come into contact with humans, such as picnic areas in national parks and suburban gardens, brush turkeys exhibit little fear and often boldly attempt to steal food from tables and raid compost bins. They nest in suburban gardens, and in search of material for their nests remove enormous amounts of mulch from gardens. 5042
A full view of tenderless non-streamlined Manchurian Railway SL7 4-6-2 753 on Sujiatun shed in 1983.
Built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in 1934 for the South Manchuria Railway it was operated for the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo. SL7s pulled the Asia Express & trains reached a top speed of 140 kilometres per hour (87 mph). A second streamlined SL7 - 751 - was also present.
My notes say the loco cab behind on the left is of another Manchurian Railway pacific; SL5 4-6-2 282. They also say there was another streamlined SL7 here; 755 but I note that today in the Shenyang Railway Museum the two preserved are 751 and 757.
To be fair the chalked number on the cab of this pacific looks more like x56 than 753!
This was one seriously restored and pimped out ride. Of course, as I'm sitting on the curb, my lens not 6 inches from the car, the owner comes back.
Henry M. Flagler's Florida East Coast Railroad Line reached Palm Beach in 1894. The Seaboard Airline Railroad Line laid tracks to Palm Beach as late as 1921-1924. It was after 1921 that the Seaboard Airline tracks reached West Palm Beach. Reference to the Seaboard Airline Railroad Station appears in a book printed in 1926.
S. Davis Warfield was president of Seaboard Air Line and in 1924 Warfield built a cross-state line that serviced West Palm Beach and Miami and Homestead in 1926, making a direct rail connection from one coast to the other, across the state. In 1938 the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Airline Railroad Line formed a network over Florida. Trains were air-conditioned and streamlined, and power was generated by Diesel-electric locomotives.
Stockholders in the railroad were important Palm Beach residents, and this station combined their taste in architecture, and their desire for service and convenience, for the community related to their vacation and retirement residences.
L. Phillips Clarke, who designed all of the Seaboard Railroad stations, built his first station at Auburndale. The West Palm Beach station appeared in 1924-1925.
The north-south dimension, paralleling the tracks, is approximately 178 feet. It is 43 feet deep, not including (at the sides) a 13-foot platform on the west. The building is mainly one story high, with a single office on a two-story level near the center and a three-stage tower on the south corner of the east or entrance facade on Tamarind Avenue.
The plan is rectangular, divided essentially in half, with express room and baggage room to the left or south, and behind the loggia the two waiting rooms, now one, separated on the east by restrooms and on the west by the ticket office. The loggia surrounds most of the front and ends, and the shed—roofed passenger platform on the rear or trackside.
The City of West Palm Beach, following a purchase of the building in 1988, tapped local architecture firm Oliver Glidden & Partners to head a $4.3 million restoration of the structure. The project was completed and the station rededicated in a ceremony attended by the Florida Governor in April 1991. Architect Robert D. Brown directed the restoration of ornamental cast stone elements, exterior masonry, doors, windows, and iron and tile work. The red clay tile roof was replaced, as were the electrical, lighting, plumbing and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Abatement of lead and asbestos was further required to bring the historic structure up to modern building code standards. The restoration effort earned the Florida Trust Award for Historic Preservation in 1994.
In summer 2012, the city finished an improvement project that included the installation of new sidewalks and more than five dozen trees around the building. The improvements were funded with a $750,000 Transportation Enhancement grant from the Federal Highway Administration, to which the city provided a $150,000 local match.
The station has two side platforms, with access to the station on both sides. West of the southbound platform is a long loop of bus bays serving Palm Tran routes. East of the northbound platform is the station house, a small parking lot, and bus stops for Greyhound Lines buses and Tri-Rail shuttles.

The Tatra streamlined cars are one of the most extravagant cars I know. These futuristic vehicles were its time far ahead.
The T87 was based on the T77 which was first presented in 1934.
In the early 1930s the concept of fast and economical built streamlined cars became very popular. Not only in the US but mainly in Germany and Middle-European countries avant-garde ideas were put into practice.
The Tatra T77 was developed by designer and engineer Paul Jaray (Hungary, 1889-1974) and Hans Ledwinka (Austria, 1878-1967, also designer and engineer). Cooperator was engineer Erich Übelacker (Czech, 1899-1977).
Jaray was an early pioneer in streamlined airplanes and car bodies. Ledwinka invented the so called backbone chassis: a frameless central tubular chassis with swing axles and with independent suspension. He had a preference for rear-mounted air-cooled engines, which were applied in all streamlined Tatras. The revolutionary ideas of these automotive inventors resulted in one of the greatest cars ever, at least to my opinion.
The T87 underwent a restyle by František Kardaus in 1948. It received a new dashboard, the central third headlamp was removed and the other two lamps were integrated into the front fenders, like the 1946-52 T600 Tatraplan already had.
Ledwinka had with Tatra a great influence in modernizing car design. The T87 is a real automotive icon.
Above this all seeing such an old original T87 with original 1950s Dutch plates is beyond expectation.
This Tatra was delivered new to the Romanian ambassador in the Netherlands in 1948. It was in service till the mid 1960s. It was still in use in Den Haag when Mr. Ad Palmen bought this Tatra around 1975.

Milwaukee Road streamlined Hudson 104 (ALCO 1938) is at the head end of a Hiawatha at the Milwaukee station, November 1948. Capable of speeds of over 100 mph, these really would have been something to see in action!

New Haven Railroad Baldwin I-5 class 4-6-4 streamlined Hudson steam locomotive # 1404 with its passenger train is seen operating on the Shore Line with a plumb of smoke behind at an unknown location, ca 1940's. You can see the engineer in his cab window as the train rolls by. The Consist on this train is mostly heavyweight equipment with a few Osgood-Bradley PS (American Flyer) coaches thrown in.

A much needed trip to London, just to wander the streets with my camera and take photos of the architecture and streets. I started the day with the colourful facade of this striking building.
This 1938 publicity photo shows clearly the resemblance with some other German iconic 1930s streamlined cars. Many of them were just style experiments or streamlined prototypes.
Try to get in mind:
1931-32 Zündapp prototype (Porsche Typ 12),
1933-34 NSU prototype (Porsche Typ 32),
1935-36 Volkswagen prototype V3 (Porsche Typ 60),
1936-37 Volkswagen pre-series VW 30 (Porsche Typ 60),
1937-38 KdF-Wagen pre-series VW 38 (Porsche Typ 60).
All previous cars were developed by Ferdinand Porsche (1875-1951).
Another German streamlined car was the 1937-40 Adler 2.5 Liter Limousine 4 Türen Ambi-Budd.
Only the KdF-Wagen was built in large numbers. But this was an exception.
In the same period we see some other revolutionary streamlined cars, like the 1936-38/1938-40 Steyr Typ 50 and 55 (Austria) and in Czechoslovakia the 1933 Tatra V 570 and the 1935 Tatra Typ 90 Limousine, both designed by Hans Ledwinka (1878-1967).
First sketches of this unibody Hanomag 1.3 Liter were made in 1935. The designer of this revolutionary car is unknown to me. The streamlined body was an inspiration for the 1944 Volvo PV444.
9187 items were made.
After the war production could not be restarted because according to the German Wikipedia the metal presses were now in USSR controlled German territory. However there's great doubt if this claim is historical correct.
