Event TitleAutomotive Showplace: 1934 Chrysler Airflow Sedan
Event Date(s)Now through 2020
Event LocationDetroit Historical Museum, 5401 Woodward Ave, Detroit
Event DescriptionWidely criticized when it debuted for its bold snub-nosed look, the Airflow is now revered by historians as a quintessential representative of an entire movement in automotive styling: but it is not just a great body design. It also possesses a myriad of noteworthy engineering advances under its Art Deco façade. Completely restored by the Chrysler Corporation in 1952, this vehicle was donated to the Detroit Historical Museum in 1959, with 28,443 original miles on it. It recently underwent a cosmetic restoration with support from the MotorCities National Heritage Area.
