The 1937 Lincoln Zephyr

This beautifully designed car was one of the first "aerodynamically" designed vehicles after the Chrysler Airflow. I like the design because it looks like a version of the cars I would draw when, as a kid, I had the idea of being a car designer. I either drew them big and boxy or rounded and sleek. This car was extremely popular with its teardrop styling that made it look like it was in motion even when it was standing still. Production of the car was interrupted by World War II and then resumed until 1946. Want to drive one of these cars today? If you have an extra $100,000 you might be able to pick up a restored model at auction.

Easier To Look After Than A Fish Tank

Gleaned from an unsalvageable copy of the 1937 Book of Knowledge, this double-sided color lithograph is in pristine condition with bright colors and nary a dent, tear or mark. The page measures 6 1/4 x 9 inches and illustrates 45 different fish including the paganellus, conger, bubalis and shagreen ray (fish I have never heard of, but you may have some knowledge of). I prefer fish pictures rather than arduous task of maintaining a fish tank. You might too. See the original listing for these brilliant fish pictures here.
