These were cool cars. My dad bought one right after WWII. Used cars and even tires were hard to come by.

Chrysler has often been ahead of it time in styling vehicles, this is one of them. Just looking at this one, those headlights would look cool on a 49-51 Ford custom or maybe a 55-56 Chevy custom. They are just a bit different than the 55 Buick headlight units so many customizers used.

Always loved that design. Too bad peeps did not like it when introduced. Too radical for the time but ultra safe design. 

 

Here is footage dumped off cliff and then being started and driven away!

Wow, that's an impressive car...bet it didn't look that good back in its day.   That's some shiny black paint and chrome.

I have a stock 1/18 die cast (still in the box) and one that was played with (missing bumpers) that will get the street rod treatment....eventually

Anyone know if a 1/24 or 1/25 model of the Chrysler/DeSoto Airflow has ever been released?

Franklin Mint did but I believe it was a two door.  I know there were 1/32 and 1/43 built ones
