The Airflow was built by DeSoto, a division of Chrysler,
in 1934, 1935 and 1936.
It featured a radical aerodynamic design that was not seen on any other
cars of the era. DeSoto got the rights to build
the car because they were already established with
luxury buyers. |

There was another car called the Airflow made by
Chrysler during this time, the Chrysler Airflow,
and it was essentially a larger version of the DeSoto.
The unibody frame on these cars was very popular
with consumers, as they could ride with the frame
of the car instead of on top of it, as was the case
with most other cars of the day. The DeSoto was not
nearly as popular with consumers as the longer Chrysler
version, as it looked weird and bulky. The country
was also going through a depression, making it impossible
for many Americans to afford a semi-luxury car. Eventually
Chrysler would cancel the car in favor of more traditional
designs that they could make for cheaper and thus
sell in greater volume. If you are looking to buy
an Airflow today, you might be able to find one listed
in Hemmings, although you'll probably have better
luck just looking on eBay. They also sometimes have
parts listed.
