Chrysler Airflow - the aerodynamic pioneering work of Walter P. Chrysler

October 15, 2017 — Bruno von Rotz 90

From 1934 to 1937, Chrysler (and its sister brand De Soto) built the Airflow, the first mass-produced streamlined vehicle. Although the car was not a commercial success, it had a major impact on the car industry and caused quite a stir. In a very special article, the car is not only briefly described, but also examined from different angles in two contemporary newspaper reports. Even Professor Porsche has his say. This article shows the Chrysler Airflow in current and historical pictures, as well as in sales literature and photos from the time.
