I just love the Airflow cars, whether Chrysler or DeSoto. Art Deco at its finest in the thirties. Such a different time when WP was still alive and running things. As with the British auto industry, something was lost when the original families lost control. Thanks so much for the video!

Frank Thompson owner of Overland Park Jeep was the dealer that owned that car and donated several from his collection with the proceeds going to St Lukes Hospital in Kansas City. I showed the Airflow at Art of the Car at the Kansas City Art Institute April 28th 2015 for Frank. It was an awesome weekend. Wayne Carini and Ralph Moreno were in town for the event. Ralph brought 2 or 3 special Packards. They toured Frank’s collection the day before the show and we hung out for a couple hours. Both were very nice guys. I drove the car to the show in 2015 and it ran hot. We thrashed to get an electric fan installed the day before which helped a little. Frank is still kicking at 93 and down to about 10 cars. Fun to see it again

This car was so far ahead of its time in '34! I believe this must've been the first/only car to integrate the headlights into the fenders, all other cars at the time still had free standing headlights and wouldn't integrate them into the fenders until the early '40's.

I think the face, the waterfall grill, is absolutely beautiful. First car designed with info from a wind tunnel tests. I'm guessing that the curved grill over the radiator contributed to lowered wind resistance. Most cars in 1934 had a squared off front. I don't understand why the public didn't like the curved shape? Who doesn't like curves? I would have like to see this vehicle being driven on the road! Yes the brakes are not up to today's standard. I wonder if modifications to the original brakes have been made to this vehicle. Interesting that the car was modified to have an electric fan for the radiator. Did this vehicle orignally come with a 6 volt electrical system? Personally I feel warmly toward mechanically driven fans. So - was that an ABS device for the brake system that I saw in the engine compartment, on the passenger side? Did this car come with mechanical brakes or hydraulic brakes? I find it a bit amusing that the engine has 8 cylinders, 4.9 liters, and produces only 122 horsepower, whilst my 2015 4-cylinder car with a 1.5 liter engine, manages to produce 130 hp - amazing advances in engine design. What is responsible for this? Is it a higher compression ratio, more sophisticated cylinder head design, stronger valves and valve seats, lightweight alloy crankcase, computerized electronic ignition and computerized electronic fuel injection, variable valve timing and lift - is that it? Anything else.

They should have made more "Town Sedans', this is the most beautiful Airflow I've ever seen. And that color is perfection. I always thought it a shame the public couldn't accept these futuristic cars from Chrysler. Later they went back to more conventional styling, even pod headlights. Took everyone else until the very late 30's and early 40's to catch up to this style. Chrysler was in the same boat in the late 50's. Nothing could touch their styling. Then, I believe it was Exner started styling some of the weirdest cars ever seen in the early 60's.

It is currently back in the shop over the winter to get the grill, front and rear bumpers and other items re-chromed. A new set of running boards are to be made and additional paint work will be done on the car to eliminate several areas when paint chips and cracks have appeared. It is not easy to be a fanatic when owning these older cars.

This car is truly elegant, and way ahead of its time. I decided I fancy the 1934 cars most, as they diluted the purity of the design afterwards. My memory said that the 2 door swb coupe was made as a six cylinder de Soto but not as a Chrysler. In fact there is a 1935 Chrysler Airflow Imperial Coupe in the Audrain collection.

I opened the door and thanks goodness I had a hold of the rob rail and the door. I was suspended over the road holding on to both as my dad rolled to a stop. Next day he put a device on the doors that made it impossible to open the back door without opening the fornt door. It was a special car.

Those are Jefferson County Nebraska plates. The 33 (Fairbury) beginning the number sequence used from the year 1922 was based on a counties registered number of vehicles starting high to low, Douglas (Omaha) had the largest number so was 1 and Lancaster (Lincoln) was 2. Douglas county no longer uses the 1 county plates. All the other counties still use their ranking from 1922. Just thought I would add this for the algorithm.

@@stevemaconi3348 Steve thanks for the tour...if you can't bust out the wall for a window...you can always build another man-cave in the garage(TV,internet,beer cooler,hot plate,etc...)just the basics. I really enjoyed the video & great to see this beautiful car with a caring owner

I love the airflow, know a fair amount about it, but did not know about the configuration of windows in the rear of this particular model. They didn't mention anything about it being unibody construction. You can find a video showing the tubular unibody construction and the "over the cliff" crash test starting at 1:10 into the following video -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKbKXmugeM5rhZI

This car has synchonizers on second and third gears--all cars had them by this time, perhaps except for the Duesenberg Model J. If the transmission crunches or grinds when shifting into second or third it could be the synchros are worn out. It could also be the clutch is not adjusted properly and is not disengaging far enough.

@ of course that begs the question did they come with heaters when they were new back in the 30s? I don’t know how you could drive a car in northern states without a heater even back then.

UNIBODY design: The fenders MELD into the rest of the body. It would take about a decade and a half, for the rest of the automotive world to get savvy. No external trunk/boot access? This is JUST the ticket--in more ways than one--for smuggling in maybe three more passengers into the drive-in movie; and you're then not quite as conspicuous, when you pull into your speaker-stand spot. People will just see some vague shadows moving about, and that's it. When the movie's finished, who then gives a hang, who's inside?? Seems like, if the Barrow Gang nucleus--Clyde & Bonnie--had somehow evaded the Hamer ambush, with their "career" lasting, say, 2 more years, Clyde might have nicked one or two of these babies; I'm sure that these had performance superior to most Law Enforcement fleets of the day, as did Clyde's ever-lovin' Ford V8's.

The real window can be opened , since I glower up in that car , certainly touching rear window opening , in age 7 , let me control the steering wheel , our Desoto was in blue colour inside in brownish beige on the side of steering wheel there was a device for Horn, front characteristic two yellow fog lamps , I found the main front light not bright enough , also lack of focusing point

A true treasure. I think it looks much better with the Town Style windows. The only negative aspect is telling your caddy the golf clubs are in the trunk...it might take him an hour to find them. So sad that Chrysler will be gone soon. There's a special place in hell for Stellantis.

I understand your point of view. The other ones that I owned had the rear quarter windows and it took me a bit of time getting used to the look, but I do like it. It does not present much of an issue when driving it. It has become a point of conversation when showing it.
