That is one huge hood/bonnet. Makes me wonder how it looks under there. I bet it’s a lot more serviceable than today’s automobiles. Probably enough room to step inside.
That nosecone design reminds me of the Tucker.
Doesn't remind me of a Tucker at all. Here's a Tucker front. (Also, what a gorgeous car the Tucker was).
But that rounded front is pretty much the design element of the times.
Looking at the Nash, I see "streamlining", which was a pre-war concept akin to what we'd call aerodynamic today (though it wasn't necessarily aerodynamic, just a visual style). Streamlining is more associated with art deco period to me - it appeared on things like train engine designs in the early 20th.
