Chrysler Eight Airflow sedan 1934

Chrysler Eight Airflow sedan 1934
Chassis no. 6594174

Introduced in 1934, the iconic Chrysler Airflow was, as its name suggests, one of the first attempts to implement aerodynamics on a passenger car. With its characteristic cascading grille, the revolutionary Airflow did not please everyone and it became more conventional over the years, disappearing from the Chrysler range in 1937.

The documentation provided shows us that this Chrysler Airflow was, at least since 1992, the property of the Musée de la Colline de l'Automobile in Paris, which had acquired it in the United States (see correspondence with the Airflow Club of America on file). In the possession of the museum, the Airflow had been completely restored with the aim of sticking as closely as possible to the original characteristics. In 2004, the museum offered the car at an auction where it was acquired by Mr. André Hubert (purchase invoice on file). In his possession, the Airflow was the subject of a new renovation undertaken in 2005 by the Atelier des Coteaux for a cost exceeding €11,700. The related invoices are on file with other important work, including a service in March 2012. In addition, the car is sold with a bodywork maintenance manual, its French registration document and its valid technical inspection. . A magnificent opportunity to acquire a beautiful example of this rare model in its purest original form.

1934 Chrysler Eight Airflow Sedan
Chassis no. 6594174

Introduced in 1934, the iconic Chrysler Airflow was, as its name suggests, one of the first attempts to apply the science of aerodynamics to passenger car design. With its distinctive 'waterfall' front grille, the revolutionary Airflow was not to everyone's taste and it became progressively more conventional over the next few years, finally disappearing from the Chrysler range in 1937.

Accompanying documentation shows that this Chrysler Airflow was owned from at least 1992 by Le Musée de la Colline de l'Automobile in Paris, which had acquired it in the USA (see Airflow Club of America correspondence on file). While in the museum's ownership the Airflow was extensively restored, with great care taken to keep to the original specification. In November 2004 the museum offered the car for sale at auction where it was purchased by Monsieur André Hubert (purchase invoice on file). During Mr Hubert's ownership the Airflow benefited from further extensive refurbishment, which was undertaken in 2005 by L'Atelier des Coteaux at a cost in excess of €11,700. The related invoice is on file together with others for subsequent works, including a service in March 2012. In addition, the car comes with a Body Service Manual, French Carte Grise and current Technical Inspection. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a fine example of this rare model in its earliest and purest form.
