Pontiac Strato-Streak

The Pontiac Strato-Streak was a show car built by Pontiac for the 1954 General Motors Motorama. Based on the Star Chief's underpinnings, it had a 124-inch wheelbase and was only 54.7 inches high. The Strato-Streak was designed as a fiberglass 4-door hardtop, with four swivel bucket seats for easier entry. The interior was done in beige leather and gold metallic nylon. It was initially finished in metallic green, but was repainted iridescent metallic red and renamed the Strato Streak II.[1] The "Strato-Streak" name was later used on one of Pontiac's overhead-valve V-8 engines from 1955–1957.[2]

gollark: <@151391317740486657> It's not the only bad thing. phones are also nigh impossible to repair and more expensive (per computing power unit or whatever) than a desktop/laptop.
gollark: Hmm, good idea.
gollark: That would obviously be bad for power users, but most people... aren't that, annoyingly.
gollark: My entirely unsubstantiated guess about the next decade's computing trends: phone dock things will begin to replace personal laptops/desktops for many people.
gollark: GNU/Linux meaning "desktop Linux", basically, but... sure?
