Wind-tunnel testing aided in a host of engineering innovations including the engine moving forward over the front axle, passengers placed ahead of the rear axle, and welded, unitized body construction instead of the traditional carriage body bolted to a chassis frame.
This 1934 Chrysler Airflow CU Coupe is believed to be just one of eight complete CU Coupes remaining in the United States. It has been given a photo-documented restoration that still is in superb condition. It was on the cover of the March 1983 edition of Antique Automobile and was displaced at a number of prominent venues, including the San Diego Museum, the National City Automotive Heritage Day, the Petersen Automotive Museum, and the Prescott Antique Auto Club.
In 2009, this example was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $65,000 - $85,000. As bidding came to a close, the lot had been sold for the sum of $57,200 including the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2010
