Advertising for the 1937 Chrysler Airflow Series C-17 Sedan proclaimed: “…you have the impression of entering a drawing room on wheels…doors are as wide as those in your home… floors are padded and covered in deep, soft carpeting…chair height seats are soft and relaxing as divans…with upholstery fabrics of wonderful richness and texture. You’ll find style and luxury in lavish abundance in every carefully executed detail throughout these great new Airflows.”

Ray Dietrich was in charge of styling at Chrysler at this time and the 1937 line bore his imprint as he supervised the final makeover of the Airflow. This black with tan interior sedan is powered by a 323.5-cid straight-eight engine that produces approximately 125-hp and is connected to a three-speed transmission. With numerous original elements to this car, you see that the windshield sections are hinged at the top and pivot for ventilation. Chrysler led with many safety-oriented features in this era; continuing with elegance and style.
