Chrysler Airflow

Automobiles

The Chrysler Airflow was a full-size car that Chrysler built from 1934 to 1937 and the first full-size American production car designed around streamlining, with a sleeker body meant to resist the air. Chrysler committed heavily to the idea, but the radical shape and the controversy over its looks left it a commercial failure. It used a flathead straight-eight engine and came as a two-door coupe and a four-door sedan, while a companion model was sold as the DeSoto Airflow, the shape was offered on the Imperial and it also appeared on Dodge trucks. In 2022 Chrysler announced that the Airflow name would return on an electric crossover.
