Curvaceousness means easy gliding, to wit, the shape of modern auto’s vs. the 1950’s. As for winding: ah to meander.

Are you comparing my shape to that of a 1950’s auto? Depending on which model, you may be right. coo-coo-cachoo!

I’m not sure about doug’s windlass, but I love the 1950’s cars, stopped paying attention to them when the 60’s hit. But as for curves, all the advertisements show how all the curves in windtunnels

Someone has swiped the hubcaps from my hummer contribution (Answer A) - so we shall revert to (Answer B), the original - a genuine 1959 model Goggomobil - these microcars were a product of Hans Glas GmbH of Dingolfing, in Bavaria, Germany. They were something less than a marvel of technology, but became a popular cultural icon. There are actually some sleek, contemporary versions, which can wait for a later post.

They’re both collector’s items. The Ferrari is definitely more polished and high maintenance, Option B somewhat Polish. We’ll have to wait for the road tests for the critic’s choice.
