This breathtaking Streamliner is a hand built one off Coupe called Aerodyne.

Conceived and created by John Toom, manager of model shop at Nissan Design, International in La Jolla Ca. from 1982-2000. Johns talent and contribution to Nissan Design was even honored with a tribute sculpture by Nissan Design.

John spent over 10 years from the early sketches to the almost finished product, before he passed away in 2001.

This stunning vehicle is based on a 1956 Jaguar XK140 frame and powered by a freshly rebuilt 3.8l XKE motor.

The design has a definite late 30’s French streamliner influence. This is a true hand built car using no aftermarket parts. The door handles, the gauges, the dashboard, everything has been designed and created for this car.
