Single bow
Single bow is a term used in automobile design to describe a single arc or line stretching from one end of the vehicle to the other. It first appeared in the 1950s as a dramatic departure from the historic horse carriage derived "double bow" approach of a curved fender arcing over each wheel. Often called "straight through" in the UK, it has been the norm for standard car design since.
