Chassis:
With the top speeds of cars ever increasing, 'streamlining' became a popular design element in the 1930s. The French and Americans particularly experimented with very round shapes to decrease drag. Mulliner had a more subtle approach for their 'Streamlined' coachwork and concentrated mainly on the details. The body fitted on the featured Bentley 4 1/4 litre is one of those streamliners, recognisable by the covered wing mirrors and the covered rear wheels. It is seen here at the 2006 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este.
