<p>[QUOTE="Neal Andres, post: 4143335, member: 20537"]The cars in my first post, were designed by Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky. A man who fled Russia after the revolution. He became an automotive designer and on multiple occasions won international acclaim for his designs for Cord, Auburn and Packard. In 1937 he was retained by Murray Ohio to create a new Streamlined Moderne line of juvenile vehicles. Sakhnoffsky also was the designer behind the Streamlined Moderne Heywood Wakefield furniture on display in the "home of tomorrow" at the 1939 New York Worlds Fair. He designed much of the interior of the famed Earl Carroll Theatre in Hollywood and was a contributor to Esquire magazine for years on design and modernism. Attached: catalog page from the 1937 Steelcraft product catalog, also the cover of the 1939 Steelcraft catalog featuring Sakhnoffsky's Supercharger.
