   Shoulda read further: The Pronto Cruizer (pre-cursor to the PT by a year)   
   was designed as a modern interpretation of the Chrysler Airflow.   
      
   The Chrysler Airflow was an automobile produced by the Chrysler   
   Corporation from 1934 to 1937. The Airflow was the first full-size   
   American production car to use streamlining as a basis for building a   
   sleeker automobile, one less susceptible to air resistance. Chrysler made   
   the first effort at a fundamental change in automotive design with the   
   Chrysler Airflow, but it was ultimately a commercial failure.
