Oldenburg is often credited with spurring Gemini G.E.L.'s decision to expand the workshop's publishing venture to include multiples. When he explained his idea for a hybrid sculpture/print based on the 1937 Chrysler/DeSoto Airflow to Ken Tyler, Gemini's master printer, Tyler was immediately curious. The two worked alongside Gemini's technical team to find a material that would have the properties Oldenburg desired, "clear in color, transparent like a swimming pool but of a consistency like flesh." Eventually a material was found that seemed to exhibit all the necessary properties. It wasn't long, however, before the transparent relief was found to discolor. In true auto-industry fashion, a recall was placed on the entire edition, and each was remade.
