There never was an American produced sedan/saloon car called the "Bomber". You are probably imagining the Raymond Loewy designed (and executed by Virgil Exner) 1950-51 Studebaker "Bullet Nose" Commander. Why? Automobile design has been inspired by aviation for decades, and has incorporated many aeronautical design cues.

Designed to emulate a jet engine intake. The 1949 Ford also had a circular intake grill design.



Chrysler produced another Avenger. The Dodge Avenger is a front-wheel drive, mid-sized sedan that was built by Dodge. The Dodge Avenger made its North American debut in 1994 as a two-door coupe, which was produced until 2000. It was re-introduced to the market as a four-door sports sedan starting in 2008. 2014 marked the last production year for the Avenger, as models for both the Dodge and Chrysler brands were consolidated into the single 2015 Chrysler 200 model,.
