Huber announced in their advertising they had the first styled tractor in their B model Dated 1936. Would the early Oliver 70 be considered streamlined? It is fully cowled but rather blunt on the front. Am I missing another make and model or is Huber the one? Just wondering.

"The streamliner era began at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair with the unveiling of Phil Wright's '33 Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrow which combined modernity and tradition. Only five of these cars were built." Among those that followed were the Chrysler Airflow and the Hupmobile Aerodynamic. The Denver Zephyr came on the tracks in 1934. It soon became a fad. A lot of farm tractors were styled for 1939, which was another World Fair year, this time in NYC.

I guess I would reluctantly agree that the Plymouth was the first US tractor with at least some curvature to the radiator screen or grille. The 1932 Fordsons had a hint of streamlining with the vertical ribs cast into the upper radiator tank, but that progressed nowhere until 1952.

I have to vote for the 70. First out in 1935. The grill screen was chrome and did come to a point, plus the full curtins.

The Plymouth, later changed to Silver King started 1934. The first 1934 tractor actually rolled out in 1933.
