Question

Claes Oldenburg modeled the “profile” of a product of this company with polyurethane for a work inspired by a children’s toy. This company was the first to productionize a design inspired by Norman Bel Geddes’ fondness for the teardrop shape and developed by Raymond Loewy. A program called the “Forward Look,” advertised by the “Flookerang” logo, unified this company’s products under designer Virgil Exner. Native American-inspired brickwork and Nirosta steel were used for a (*) wedding-cake style building made for this company. This company’s Streamline Moderne look informed William van Alen’s design for a building topped with a seven-layer (10[1])crown of crescent setbacks (10[2])on terraced arches and decorated with eagles, hood ornaments, and radiator (10[1])caps. For 10 points, a Manhattan (10[1])Art Deco skyscraper is named for (10[1])what automotive company? ■END■
