The DeSoto Airflow was a full-sized automobile built by DeSoto during model years 1934, 1935 and 1936. DeSoto produced the then-revolutionary Airflow model due to its price structure relationship with the larger and more expensive Chrysler-branded cars. The 1934 Airflow models are noted for their unique styling. They generated interest for their engineering innovations. It has a 115.5 in (2,934 mm) wheelbase.
The Desoto Airflow was a result of Chrysler Corporation policy of badge engineering, being mechanically substantially similar to the longer wheelbase, longer bodied Chrysler Airflow.
