The six McQuay-Norris Streamliners produced in 1934 were
built to be driven by McQuay-Norris engine component sales
representatives.
As well as advertising the company, McQuay-Norris used
the Streamliners as test-beds for new engine components,
and for this purpose the interior was fitted with many
dials and instruments to monitor performance and engine
condition.
The McQuay-Norris Streamliner's chassis and running gear
were based on a Ford V8, and the aerodynamic bodywork
was made from steel and aluminium attached to a wooden
frame. The curved windows were made from Plexiglas.
