Troy Brumbalow's Franken'cuda, design by Pfaff Design
Like almost half the cars I see at car shows and SEMA, it was made to tour, show, and sell. 3 months later, it's at auction in the January Barrett Jackson http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/01/famous-vehicles-for-sale-at-barrett.html

the odd design style of Paul Jaray, applied to a 1935 Maybach Streamliner coupe at the Paris Autoshow contrasted with the 1938 GAZ gl1

Anyway, what a contrast of designs.. the Jaray at top was streamlined body, big cabin... opposite the GAZ below. Odd to have found these photos at about the same time.

Chris has posted a thorough comparison of a variety of car by their drag coefficients
I had no idea that a Ford Probe, a Vector, a Chevy Lumina APV (mini van), and a Jaguar XJ220 all had a .30 drag coefficient, remarkable!
But the 1948 Tucker was just .28! and the '35 Tatra was .21, better than the new Mercedes Benz CL E Class Coupe

the shark nose '38 Graham, quite a departure from contemporary design of it's time



Source of the images, and a good read about the Graham, and why it's nose was so funny looking: http://www.carlustblog.com/2010/07/graham-sharknose.html#more and http://reference.findtarget.com/search/Graham-Paige/
