Why these look like this

Mobile food vendors adopted the streamlined trailer shape from travel caravans, which had adopted it from aircraft fuselage design — rounded aluminium bodies were cheap to build, strong without a heavy frame, and towed well behind the underpowered cars of the period.

A cheerful piece for a kitchen, a shop counter, or anyone in the food trade.
