The Chrysler Airflow debuted in the 1930s as a true pioneer in automotive engineering. Its sleek, wind-cheating shape and innovative unit-body construction set new standards for design and safety. Though its futuristic looks puzzled buyers and sales lagged, the Airflow’s influence on streamlined car design remains profound. Design cues from this trailblazer can still be found in modern vehicles.
