This 1935 DeSoto has been carefully and tastefully restored. The DeSoto Airflow was the more affordable version of the Chrysler Airflow that most car buffs are familiar with. However, the DeSoto actually outsold the Chrysler. Engineering wise, the Airflow was significantly ahead of its time, incorporating an all welded steel unibody construction, improved suspension design with softer spring rates for a better ride, and aerodynamic styling that was refined by many hours in the wind tunnel.
The initial version of the Airflow body design was not well received by the public, it was just too futuristic. In order to temper things a bit, DeSoto implemented a SkyScraper grill for 1935, which added a bit of verticality to the front end, and a significant touch of Art Deco class.
