The defining event for streamline moderne design in the United States was the 1933–34 [[Century of Progress|Chicago World's Fair]], which introduced the style to the general public. The new automobiles adapted the smooth lines of ocean liners and airships, giving the impression of efficiency, dynamism, and speed. The grills and windshields tilted backwards, cars sat lower and wider, and they featured smooth curves and horizontal speed lines. Examples include the 1934 [[Chrysler Airflow]] and the 1934 [[Studebaker Land Cruiser]]. The cars also featured new materials, including [[bakelite]] plastic, [[formica (plastic)|formica]], Vitrolight opaque glass, [[stainless steel]], and [[Vitreous enamel|enamel]], which gave the appearance of newness and sleekness.<ref>McCourt, Mark, "When Art Deco is Really Streamline Moderne", Hemmings Daily, 29 May 2014</ref>

Other later examples include the 1950 [[Nash Ambassador]] "Airflyte" sedan with its distinctive low fender lines, as well as [[Hudson Motor Car Company|Hudson]]'s postwar cars, such as the [[Hudson Commodore|Commodore]],<ref name="Hudson Commodore">{{cite web |title=1948 Hudson Models – Tech Pages Article |url=http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-bin/pub9990262549620.cgi?itemid=9990480952247&action=viewad&categoryid=9900468971914 |website=Auto History Preservation Society |access-date=February 14, 2018 |archive-date=July 11, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210711124113/http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-bin/pub9990262549620.cgi?itemid=9990480952247&action=viewad&categoryid=9900468971914 |url-status=dead }}</ref> that "were distinctive streamliners—ponderous, massive automobiles with a style all their own".<ref>{{Reed-Streamline era|p=278}}</ref>
