1937 Chrysler Airflow

1937 Chrysler Airflow four door sedan, click picture to enlarge.

Chrysler had offered the Airflow series of cars before 1937 but this year was the first true Airflow produced that actually had pneumatic, and/or hydraulic, shocks and brakes. This was the 1937 Chrysler Airflow Series C-17 only. This car had a 128 inch wheelbase and a 130 hp, 323 cid 8 cylinder engine and a 3 speed manual overdive transmission. Other features included hydraulic brakes and telescoping air shocks and a hypoid gear rear axle. Some of the cosmetic changes were a more V-shaped front grill and horizontal hood louvers. There were only 4,600 of these cars produced in 1937.
