And not many people bought this car. Why? They didn't like the way it looked - because ti looked a bit different. Why didn't they buy this car? Because they are stupid I guess. Actually, initially there was a fairly high demand, and Chrysler took downpayments on orders. Chrysler had difficulty meeting the demand. Cars were coming off the assembly line too slowly. And while the cars may have been fashioned by function, or as we say today, according the philosophy of "form follows function," Chrysler Airflows didn't function as they were designed to function. Many systems were malfunctioning. While you could roll a new Airfolow off of a cliff into a ravine and it would still operate, let it sit outside in the rain for a couple of days and try that, and it would break apart at the places where it had rusted through. Beautiful beautiful car, outside and in. My favorite car of all time. Good engineering, poor construction.

@Barndancer61 It may have happened in its time, but it took much later until they were features applied to most cars. Here's an example, all cars after 2012 were mandated to have vehicle stability control (abs & traction control might have already been mandated, I'm not sure). Although the first stability control for cars was invented in the 1970's it still wasn't on most cars until about 2010. Another thing is touch screen monitors and backup cameras. In 2004, you could buy a Prius with 50mpgs, top crash ratings, side airbags, vehicle stability control, and a touch screen monitor with a backup camera, navigation & Bluetooth. Now although they did this at the time they did, cars did not become synonymous with all of these features until about 2019. Now in 2021, backup cameras have been mandated and the next thing cars are working towards is brake assistance and pedestrian avoidance for all cars (which could be a mandated feature by 2025, who knows). The point being is that there is a first for everything, and that first is technically ahead of its time because of the amount of time it would take for the features incorporated to be common. I don't know why I even had to say this, as you probably already knew and were just trying to the wise guy. Either way, I had fun with the shpeal so thanks for opening the opportunity!

What an excellent historical document. Being a mechanical engineer all the new design features and their benefits were so logical and clearly presented it made me giddy with delight. Modern commercials appeal to instinct and especially emotion. "Buy this and it will make you happy!" , "You're worth it!" , "This is cool!" I really don't care for modern advertising.

People didn't have televisions in their homes, and few people went to movie theatres to see the 1930s equivalent of an infomericial. Video ads today have much more reach, and need to be designed to appeal to a much bigger variety of people than commercials in the 30s did. If you look up ads for specialty products with small consumer bases, you will see that the language becomes much more technical similar to the way this video was made.

Even though the Airflow inspired automotive design for decades, it was a complete failure at the time because customers thought it was ugly. Up to that point, Chrysler made their cars on a foundation of engineering, on the basis that building a better mousetrap is the best way to sell mousetraps. The Airflow demonstrated that people will buy an inferior automobile over a superior one, if the superior one is too "out there." Combined with the death of Walter P Chrysler, this crippled Chrysler's creative spirit and lead them to stay conservative for many years. It took big changes like Virgil Exner's styling and the hot-rodding influence of the '60s to bring back the pizzazz.

Today we have learned to shape and bend sheet metal to gain structural strength and surround the occupants with exploding bags for protection as the vehicle crumbles from impacts. Most modern vehicles are unrepairable after a relatively small collision due to the "energy absorption" of the folding structure forcing yet another new vehicle purchase from the manufacturer. Today many vehicles have lost reliability due to the forced regulations as new unproven technology is needed to achieve higher fuel mileage requirements. The new electric vehicles are the rave but no one questions the fuel required to produce electricity or the mining processes needed to supply materials for the battery construction.

Alright - I'm sold! Where can I place an order? Oh, wait - Chrysler doesn't exist anymore - just some conglomerate known as Stellantis.

Unibody before they had a name for it. Slippery? Yes. But the Tatra 77 was even more so with a drag coefficient of 0.212! Still to this day one of the most aerodynamic cars ever made. Said to be the inspiration for the VW Bettle.

I heard that welds broke, frames cracked, engines did not stay put on their engine mounts.

Yep! The factory workers didn't know how to build such a complicated space frame. The welds just weren't up to the task. "Because of the unique and expense involved in the new Airflow design, the factory had not accounted for this, so it required a bizarre number and variety of welding techniques. Unfortunately the original Airflows that arrived at dealerships had numerous problems, mostly due to faulty manufacturing. Fred Breer, the son of Chrysler Engineer Carl Breer, commented that the first 2,000 to 3,000 Airflows left the factory with major defects that included breaking loose from their mountings at 80 mph." www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z16803/Chrysler-Imperial-Airflow-C10.aspx

Its so good to see ppl invent stuff

If I recall correctly, Walter Chrysler said the Airflow was his biggest mistake. Way ahead of its time, but people weren’t buying it because of “the look.” One of the mega drawbacks was that the head of Chrysler design was a big man whose trademark was always wearing a Fedora hat and chomping on a cigar. Everywhere. One of his mandates was that every design had to so that he could sit behind the wheel wearing his hat. Other manufacturers were after the sleek, lower profile look, even with Mom driving, smiling, and happy kids in the back seat. Or Dad with the entire family aboard. No hat on Dad, which was the evolving customary “look.”

This is so well made I want to buy one in 2021!

Holy shit this car was advanced, cuts right through the air and is even a unibody construction!

The 1936 Lincoln Zephyr was a much more marketable aerodynamic car that used a sharp prow of a radiator yet mimicked the Chrysler Airflow from the cowl backward. Interesting how a classic Pierce Arrow convertible sedan is used for comparison.

Walter P Chrysler was CMO(Chief Mechanical Officer) of the Chicago Great Western Railway and was the real deal. An engineer first, a man that knew mechanics, steam engines etc. Chryslers were always known as the thinking mans car. I love my GM cars and the design's of Harley Earl, who also had a organic flow to his car design, and Virgil Exner also. These were good cars that just were too ahead of there time. I would LOVE to have a Imperial Airflow.

The movement of the engine further forward and out of the way was the trend for the next 55 years, especially when FWD became the architecture of choice for basic family cars in the 1980s. But a lot of advances that hadn't taken place by 1934 paved the way for the tightly packaged cars we have today, including compact alloy powertrains, power steering, radial tires and more advanced suspensions. The Airflow may well have rode better than many of its competitors, but I wonder what such a heavy engine directly over 2 skinny bias ply tires did for handling, let alone steering effort. The car was ahead of its time, but probably for better as well as for worse.
