in Classical Drives, on June 3, 2009
It's not unusual to spot a Chrysler Airflow (or its DeSoto sibling) at an auction. Normally these would be 4-door sedans, much maligned for their unpopular "streamlined design." Often forgotten is that the Airflow was also available as a 2-door, which makes the appearance of this 19...
