This groundbreaking Airflow Chrysler is equipped with a 323-cid straight eight-cylinder engine, producing 115 horsepower, and backed by a three-speed manual transmission. Featuring a nicely presented older restoration, this striking design is striking and rich looking – it truly stood alone on mid-1930s roadways.
This Airflow is one of only 4,259 C-10 Chrysler Imperial Airflow Sedans produced in 1936. The front fender valance panels and hood ventilators are longer on the Imperial line. The Airflow has a bustleback-type trunk, fender skirts, artillery-type wheels, a wonderful trunk presentation, clean engine bay, whitewall tires plus an interior in original-type materials that may be as luxurious and comfortable as select living rooms. The Airflow has so many intricate design details, it is a pleasure just taking your time to truly see how all of the elements came together to make a most classically styled vehicle of the Art Deco era. A 1990 AACA National First is proudly displayed on the grille.
