Streamline Cruiser
From ClassicBoatWiki
Chris-Craft had survived the Great Depression years. In 1935 they introduced the 25' and 30' Streamline Cruisers along with the 25' Utility Cruiser in a separate brochure dedicated to these cruisers. It was titled NEW STREAMLINE CRUISERS by Chris-Craft, an advertising strategy to help start their much needed recovery.
