Our Take:
- Innovative Engineering: The 1935 DeSoto Airflow SG represents a bold attempt by Chrysler to revolutionize car design with its streamlined, aerodynamic body. Inspired by aviation technology, the Airflow was meant to glide through air like a zephyr—talk about forward-thinking!
- Rare Breed: The DeSoto Airflow was not exactly a hit with consumers back in the day, which makes it quite the collector's gem now. Fewer Airflows were produced compared to their contemporaries, making each surviving model a rare sight on roads today.
- Factory Overdrive Feature: This particular model comes with a factory overdrive—a cutting-edge feature for its time designed to improve fuel economy and reduce engine stress during long cruises. Imagine cruising the open road with a whisper-quiet engine back in 1935!
- Cultural Legacy: The Airflow's design influenced future automotive aesthetics despite its initial commercial failure. It reflects a daring period in automotive history, when manufacturers weren't afraid to bet on the new and untested—the Airflow's silhouette still turns heads!
