Wow, when they put on safety demos back in the day, supervised, they =

I wonder how today's car would hold up under the same tests? BTW, we =
have one of these Airflows at the Sacramento Auto Museum. They were
only made for four years, 1934 =E2=80=93 1937 and sold by both DeSoto =
and Chrysler. They never sold as well as the manufacturer wanted. People
just weren=E2=80=99t ready for the new futuristic design.
