Produced from 1934 until 1937, the Chrysler Airflow used streamlining as the basis for a new kind of automobile. After testing at the Wright Brothers wind tunnel facilities in Dayton, Ohio, Chrysler threw away the traditional more upright style of car. Its engineers moved the headlights into the fenders, incorporated a sloping waterfall grille and on the CW model only introduced the first one-piece curved windshield in a production automobile. The 385 cubic-inch straight-8 engine was moved forward, significantly improving ride quality, and an industry-first automatic overdrive was fitted, allowing high-speed driving without taxing the engine. The car could seat eight people with three abreast in front and back and two in jump seats. Sadly, sales were disappointing; less than ten 1935 CW Imperial LeBaron Limousines were built, and this is the only surviving example. Ten years later nearly all of the Airflow's radical features found their way onto many of the world's automobiles.
