Storm and Stress
The automobile industry in the l930s shared many characteristics with "Storm and Stress", the late 18th century German literature movement. This was the time for distinctive individuality and extreme emotions to be freely explored. Most of the core engineering technology used today emerged one after another in the 1930s and 40c. People were particularly obsessed with speed and making multi-cylinder engines with superchargers as standard equipment. This obsession was also pursued in the area of design as demonstrated in the worldwide popularity of streamline-shaped vehicles.
