1935 CHRYSLER AIRFLOW SG COUPE DESOTO

"Sold"- Went to a Huge car Collection in Ohio!! By 1935, the '35 Chrysler Desoto offered, what the showroom brochure claimed, an "ever more beautiful grille, than it's predecessor, a Front-end brilliantly re-styled and given a feeling of added speed and movement". This Desoto Airflow SG model carries 90,802 miles (@82 years young: 1,107 miles per year) and hails from Kentucky and Florida. It is a remarkably rust-free vehicle with original-style Mohair Headliner and Seating, Factory described "Enclosed Rumble Seat" (rear pass. seat), Faux Wood Dash & Window Surrounds, loaded with : Bumper Guards Front & Rear, Wide Whitewall Bias-Ply Tires, Fender Skirts with Chrome Embellishments, Cigar Lighter (yet, ashtrays never used), 3-Speed Transmission with Standard Automatic Overdrive, Chrome Wheel Trim Rings, Right-hand Tail Light, Signal Lights, Cream Color Pinstripe, Art Deco Dash Clock (added), Trumpet Horn, Right-hand Sun Visor, Special Paint Color: according to Sherwin Williams paint chips "Burgundy Wine"( one brochure claims' "Envoy Red". Based on recent Auction & Private Sales, the popularity on these rare cars has increased 10 fold. Despite the fact, the restoration is over 15+ years old, this car is in remarkable condition. Body number is "1417" out of 418 built. The 1935 Desoto Airflow SG Coupe sold for $1015 new...today it is priceless! Yet, here it is from our Museum floor, $59,500 buys it You are looking at One of the Most Important Automobiles of Our Time! Introduced at the 1934 New York Auto Show, it was So Advanced for it's time it took 2 Centuries for consumers to catch-up to it's Concept and Design. It broke the American Tradition of 'boxy. bulky looking' cars with a radical new design. The Airflow is The Very First Car to be "Streamline Designed" in a Wind Tunnel , Built with Uni-body Construction, carry 50/50 Weight Distribution, Position Passengers between Both Axles (instead of over), Offer 'Flow-Thru' Ventilation, and the First Car to carry Lockheed Hydraulic Brakes (4 years before Ford).Chrysler Engineer, Carl Breer designed the engine to be mounted OVER the front axle with the back seat moved forward of the rear axle while offering a unitized, hugely roomy cabin. A concept that is still used today. The result was a Rolling Work of Art Deco designed with future aerodynamics of an Automobile Age yet to come. They mastered flow-thru air by being the First Car with 2 - Split Windshields that pivoted out , complimented by not one, but 2 Cowl Air Vents, Side Drop Windows and enough under-seat space to allow air to pass through the cockpit. It's worth mentioning, Ferdinand Porsche also purchased a new Airflow, and it is said by some, he followed the design when he built "The People's Car" under Hitler's direction...the German Volkswagen (note the similarities, are striking). Today, the Airflow is considered an Art Deco Masterpiece. It's a car that testifies to progressive design and engineering blending into one Perfect Form. In this model,only 418 were ever built and according to several Auto Clubs, only SIX restored 1935 Desoto Airflow SG's still survive today. $59500 ! Courtesy Notification: She SOLD!!SOLD SOLD
