principles that have served the
custom car community well, with
a modified Mustang II front end
and an Art Morrison rear clip.
Wilwood brakes provide more
stopping power than Chrysler
engineers could dream of in 1935.

This car includes small custom
touches throughout the interior,
such as the winged Chrysler
insignia on the rear seat, along
with substantial custom features,
including the center console and
the fabricated 1935-era matching
“luggage” that disguises the gas
tank. In keeping with the Airflow’s
modernization, it has been
equipped with power windows and
a Vintage Air climate control system.
The general public might not have
been lining up to purchase Airflows
in the 1930s, but we’re pretty sure if
Chrysler had been able to field one
with this car’s virtues at the time, its
success would have been assured.
Bidders in Scottsdale may just prove
that the Airflow’s time has finally
arrived when it crosses the auction
block at WestWorld, January 21-29,
2023. Register to bid today.
