This January, visitors have a rare opportunity to step into the bold, experimental spirit of early automotive design with our Car of the Month: the 1932 Rohr Streamliner. On display for a limited time only, this extraordinary automobile represents a moment when engineers and designers threw convention aside in pursuit of speed, efficiency, and the future.
Created during the height of the Art Deco movement, the Rohr Streamliner embraced aerodynamics long before they became standard practice. Its dramatic, aircraft-inspired body was designed to cut through the air, while its rear-mounted engine and advanced engineering concepts challenged nearly every norm of early 1930s automobile construction. At a time when most cars were upright and boxy, the Rohr looked like it came from another decade entirely.
What makes the 1932 Rohr especially compelling is not just how it looks, but what it represents. This was an era of fearless innovation, when designers believed the automobile could be more than transportation. It could be rolling sculpture, a technological statement, and a glimpse of what tomorrow might bring. Although the Rohr was never mass-produced, its ideas influenced generations of automotive thinking and continue to inspire designers today.
Seeing the Rohr Streamliner in person allows you to appreciate its low-slung proportions, flowing lines, and intricate details that are impossible to fully capture in photographs. It is a reminder that some of the most important chapters in automotive history were written by daring experiments that pushed boundaries rather than followed rules.
This is a limited-time exhibit. The 1932 Rohr Streamliner is featured as our January Car of the Month and will only be on display for a short window. If you’re passionate about automotive history, design innovation, or the golden age of experimentation, now is the time to visit and experience this groundbreaking automobile up close.
Don’t miss your chance to see the future, as imagined in 1932.
What started as a special after-hours favorite has officially become a tradition. Night at the Museum is now a year-round, monthly event, giving guests more opportunities than ever to experience the magic of Stahls Motors & Music Experience after dark.
