(Left) A. Leyden-Frost in his modern New York studio. (Center) Design of Leyden-Frost for a completely aero-dynamic sedan. (Right) The history of the automobile's development, from the old fiacre to the modern streamline, as sketched by Leyden-Frost.
Important changes in automobile design of the near future are forecast by A. Leyden-Frost, famous industrial engineer-designer. Aero-dynamic science and scientific streamlining are superseding the primitive auto designing which was based on the old horse-and-carriage tradition. Future design is to be entirely functional-i.e.-efficiency rather than precedent will rule. With the application of aero-dynamic science, automobilists will experience great increases in economy, comfort and safety, Mr. Leyden-Frost declares. The new science is already being reflected in cars with rounded noses, wide fronts, tapering rears, roomier interiors, and all-in-one-piece steel construction.
