Torpedo (car)

The design consists of a hood or bonnet line raised to be level with the car's waistline, resulting in a straight beltline from front to back.

[1] The name was introduced in 1908 when Captain Theo Masui, the London-based importer of French Gregoire cars, designed a streamlined body and called it "The Torpedo".

[2] The Torpedo body style was usually fitted to four- or five-seat touring cars (cars without a fixed roof) with detachable or folding roof, and low side panels and doors.

Torpedo cars did not have B pillars, so the only uprights present were those supporting the windshield.
