Norman Geddis is at the heart of this film. Short, and to the point, this wonderful little film shows how some ideas (practical streamlining) have applications today. I predict that the ultimate shape of autos (the rolling
teardrop) will be accepted within the next 10 years. Who will hijack the visionary ideas of Norman Bel Geddis? If you read his book "Horizons", it just may be you.
