Origins of the American Streamline Style -- Amos Northup and the 1932 Graham Blue Streak

I'll be spending  about 25 minutes of this video in my HST 344 class on September 19. There are several points to take away  from the film. First, we should not get too carried away with the influence of Harley Earl on automotive design. There were others, including Northup, who worked quite independently of GM on designing cars that were more integrated, longer, and lower. Note also  that innovation can come from the periphery, rather than the center, of the emerging American "technostructure."Thanks to Mark Kessler for rescuing Amos Northup from the dustbin of history.
