The Airflow smoothed away the wind catching shapes of other cars, moving the headlights into flush mountings beside a broad waterfall grille, splitting the windshield into two angled panes and using unit body construction so that passengers rode within the frame. It had wider front seats and deeper rear seats with more legroom, and the press praised its handling and acceleration. Its model years run from 1934 to 1936.
