By 1934 the DeSoto had become more 'Chrysler-like.' When Chrysler Corporation introduced its revolutionary Airflow design in 1934, it meant all DeSotos had the new look.
The Airflows featured not only a radical new design but balanced weight distribution (the hood extended over the front axles), unit-body construction, and extra-long leaf springs. All this resulted in an extremely comfortable ride.
The car was also fast. A 100-horsepower in-line six moved the car along nicely. Four-wheel hydraulic brakes provided ample stopping power. The transmission was a three-speed manual. Although priced at $995, only 1,594 coupes were sold. For 1935 DeSoto also offered a 'conventional' DeSoto.
This award-winning DeSoto was restored from a 'basket case.'
