context_page_description: The Steyr 120 Super, Steyr 125 Super and Steyr 220 were a series of medium-sized cars built by the Austrian firm Steyr-Daimler-Puch from 1935 to 1941. The moderately streamlined body was designed by technical director Karl Jenschke and was manufactured by Gläser-Karosserie GmbH in Dresden. The design had a close resemblance to the smaller Steyr 100.
context_section_description: Though Steyr built a total of some 5,900 220 series models from 1937 to 1941, only about six of Gläser-bodied variant are known to have been constructed. The impact of the Art Deco Streamline Moderne movement on the car’s styling is evident, especially in the flowing design of the front fenders and skirted rear fenders. Also the plunging chrome trim line was used to convey a sense of speed, even when the Gläser-bodied roadster was parked.
  Few of the original six cars are known to survive to this day, which makes it a very rare specimen. Only one is known to be in the United States, owned by a private collector. It has been honored at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and won the Best of Show at the Pinehurst Concours d'Elegance.
