Bergholt Streamline - 1927-1932
One-off

A highly advanced streamline prototype by Fred Bergholt of Minneapolis built between 1927 & 1932 with a 65 hp, 221 cu. in. V8 engine, three-speed manual transmission.

The radical design was translated into steel with the help of Edgar Lantz, an experienced panel beater.

A 1932 Ford provided the chassis, powertrain and running gear, while the Streamline’s coachwork was entirely Fred’s brainchild. In early tests, Bergholt reached 100 mph.

Fred unsuccessfully attempted to market the Streamline to America’s established auto manufacturers, but they believed it was too far ahead of its time and told him to come back in four to five years.

Later, he sued seven manufacturers for patent infringement but took only GM to court, winning both a monetary and a moral settlement.

Much later, Fred Bergholt’s design principles found mainstream acceptance.
