The Chrysler Airflow was an aerodynamic masterpiece that, unfortunately, received lukewarm public reception. As a result, production was low and lasted only a few years. In the case of the 1935 Chrysler Imperial Airflow Coupe, 200 units were produced and approximately six examples survive today.
This example was given a concours level restoration in the early 1990s. Upon completion, it won an AACA First Senior badge and was chosen as the cover car for The Hemmings Book of Prewar Chryslers. The current owner purchased the car in 2002. It is painted Putty Beige with a brown mohair interior. Features include the roll-out vee'd windshield, aircraft-inspired interior, and vent windows that roll out automatically when the windows are rolled down. Options include fender skirts, front and rear bumpers, and front bumper guards. Power is from a 323.5 cubic-inch L-head eight that offers 130 horsepower. There is a three-speed manual transmission and four-wheel vacuum-assisted hydraulic drum brakes.
In 2011, this car was offered for sale at the St. John auction presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $75,000 - $100,000 and was offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $66,000 including the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2011
