"Home-Built Auto Is Real “Teardrop”
RESEMBLING in many respects the streamlined “Trailmobile” (...) the novel teardrop auto shown above was constructed by Charles Christman and Bill Quiggle, of Los Angeles, Calif. The home-built auto has a 35 horsepower engine which is coupled direct to the rear axle, increasing the power delivered. The vertical fin at the back of the body aids stability."

It looks like a sister to the Oscar Mayer 'Wienermobile'. Perhaps it should have been called 'Braunschweigerwagen' or the 'Kiełbasa Kab'.   

Just sayin'...
