Another overly aerodynamic car from a few years earlier - Mercedes-Benz W 125, which set a speed record that wasn't outdone for some 80 years.

And also the Ur-SAAB (original SAAB). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_Ursaab https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_Ursaab Saab was originaly an airplane manufacturer so it was natural for them to reach for the wind-tunnel when tasked with designing a car. The Ur-SAAB was never in series production but the (at least in Sweden) very popular production cars took a lot of inspiration from it. We had one of these when I was a kid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_96 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_96 This is an earlier model with even more similarities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_92 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_92
