Also a weird shift lever on the dash... can't reach ANYTHING to work on it in the engine bay (but at least you don't have to take a fender off to get to the battery.)

My late Dad just loved the Airflow. ❤

When I started with Ford Engineering in the mid-'60s, there were a good number of former Chrysler employees in our shops. Some of the older guys had worked in the Chrysler body shop building Airflow Chrysler and DeSoto bodies. Panel fits were a real problem, as all-metal bodies were a novelty back then. To make the bodies suitable for paint they had to use lead body filler. A lot of lead! (Plastic body filler came much later.) Lead poisoning became an occupational hazard for Chrysler Airflow body shop personnel. Chrysler took to providing free milk for the employees, via little milk carts which were continually pushed up & down the aisles. The theory was the would chelate the lead out of the workers' bodies...

At every angle, especially the side view, this is truly a beautiful car. And the paint job is stellar. As usual, another great video. Thanks Jay!!👍😎

Jay, my grandfather was a stern Dutchman who was general manager of a DeSoto-Plymouth dealership in central PA. He took delivery of a ‘34 DeSoto Airflow. Story goes that the car drew so much attention to him that he turned it back in and took something more ‘traditional’. I have liked the design of the Airflows for sometime. Recently, three ‘34 DeSotos Airflows were in an auction nearby…one was very rebuildable, two were parts cars…but enough to make a complete Airflow. My wife reminded me of my age (81) and just walked away. I love the Chrysler Imperial Airflow you have. I have never heard of nor seen one. Stunning. Thank you for the video feature.

It's official. Jay will go down more as the car expert and automobile historian than a late night host in my book. I can't overstate how much I enjoy these shows and how much I've learned. That's a true legacy.

Thank you, Jay, for giving us a tour of your Airflow. Another great Covid-era video....actually, a great video period. Superbly beautiful car. Such great styling. The interior looks so luxurious and comfortable. When Jay showed the driver's door window...how you could put the entire window section down....my jaw dropped like an old boat anchor. I had never seen anything like that before. The engineering that went into that window system alone boggles my public-school educated brain.

Loved it. These solo vids have a great vibe, like it was just a couple of guys talking about the car. Corporate guests are way overrated. Love the Airflow and the fact that we’re talking about a semi-obscure vehicle. Really appreciate the effort.

I saw a video of three gents from San Diego County driving their Airflows to a 'round up' in Michigan (?). One of the men in conversation said his car dyno-ed at 88 horsepower, and yet the dash cam showed him comfortably cruising at a steady 85 mph!

Jay's solo visits are so much more intimate - I feel like I'm there with him. I think COVID has been an inspiration.

Perfect car for driving after a spicy meal 👌

Thank you Jay! It is always a highlight of my week and a nice diversion of the day. I love hearing about the history of each car. Fascinating!

The first time I saw one of these was at the Norwich Auto Museum in NYS. This car was more than impressive. It was a beige color and was larger than I expected. As I looked at it, I was taken back by just how beautiful and detailed it was. It definitely fit with the rest of the cars on exhibit there. There wasn't a moment that the style held me away from it; it was instant attraction. When it was on display, both side doors were wide open and to see the total interior was candy to the eyes. Your instant thought was, they definitely don't make cars like this anymore. Nothing currently made even comes close. There were other high-level cars there just as impressive and they rotate their stock depending on who wants their personal cars on display. This museum is top stuff, equal to anyone else. I try to go at least once a year if I don't mind the drive, but the Airflow was a treat to my memory. That's why when I saw this video, had to watch.

So they went back to basics, starting from scratch, and developed their own 'science' based on wind tunnel tests and other original research. Then they built gliders as an experiment to test their theories, and finally invented and built their own engine from scratch to get one light enough and powerful enough to propel their airplane. While they were at it they invented a new propeller design more efficient than anything that came before.

I live in an apartment building where the Owner and an upscale tenant, jokingly referred to as "The Mayor", both have new Maserati Gran Turismo's. Whatever.! As I was sitting out front of the complex the other day, a 1964 Chevy Impala Convertible and a 1962 Ford Thunderbird drove by. When chatting with these two guys that evening, I said, "No offense to your Maserati's boys but I would find more joy in owning one of the beautiful classics which rolled by this afternoon.

@ 55,000 people bought Airflows, and every car made after the Airflow was a copy of the Airflow with chubbier fenders. Just look at any 1933 car, compare to the 1934 - 37 Airflow, then look at what everyone was making in the late 30s and 40s. You will see they all look like the Airflow, and none resemble the boxy looking wagons of the early 30s.

You keep me sain Mr Leno, thank you for your dedication. Stay safe.

for my .02 this car seems to really show its high quality well. truly great restoration job.

Those AIRFLOWS were always one of my favorite cars. Thank you for having it on your show.

Thanks, Jay. As a former engineer, I agree that there was a lot of engineering done on this car. There was also a lot of styling done. This was a great example of science and art done well together.

@@HorseCactusMusic You are not in the 1930s so you would not understand how people felt. When the new Aerodynamic cars were released they were replacing an existing car style that was just as good looking. It is easy from our modern bland style and culture to think they were mad for not liking it. Cars in the 2020s look very similar to cars in the 1990s because both era's were bland.

That you can lower the front window, including the quarter window, that's amazing!

I remember seeing an old promotional film of this car. The whole car is like an integral crash cage. During testing, it was driven off a cliff. It landed in fairly good condition. I just remembered that lately when I saw a crash test of a few modern SUV crossovers. Rear ended by a Semi, Every one of them squashed like a beer can. I was shocked. I started to think maybe one of those old 34' Airflows might be a good option. So sad to here there are so few. Maybe there is one left hiding somewhere for me. :)

@@Sheridantank thing that distinguishes design from art is that it is useful and practical. If you can't design a car that looks good and is safe, you're not a very good designer. Most victims of pedestrian crashes are children so as far as I am concerned current regulations are a good thing. Classics are a great thing but you have to look at things objectively.

Dimitar Stanev Or we could just teach kids to be more alert. Also, most design changes related to safety have little to do with kids hit by cars. It’s morbid to think of, but they’re not likely to fly over a hood. I really don’t think many of the changes make a car any safer to run into a kid.

Almost have a 32 Plymouth convertible completed my dad is almost 80 he's been working on this car all of his life I sure hope he has plenty more years to enjoy it.
