1935 Chrysler Airflow C-2 Coupe

Cars on the road in the mid 1930’s were all quite similar; large, boxy automobiles traditionally built with the body attached to the chassis. With the help of Orville Wright, Chrysler engineers set out to create a revolutionary car that was lighter, more aerodynamic and had a better weight distribution front to rear.

All areas of the car were taken into consideration to improve overall dynamics. A traditional two-box design car of the time carried roughly 65% of its weight over the rear wheels, which worsened with passengers. The new Airflow’s engine was moved forward over the front wheels, and seating positions for all passengers was moved forward so that rear passengers sat between the axles, not on top of the rear axle. This improved the weight distribution to 54% front and 46% rear, which evened to about 50-50 with passengers on board.

Chrysler built its own wind tunnel at the Highland Park headquarters to properly test aerodynamics. Engineers found that the two-box design that was seen on nearly all cars at the time was so aerodynamically inefficient, that it was actually more efficient driven backwards! This resulted in a streamline approach to every exterior section of the car; the windshield was comprised of two sheets of glass that raked backwards but also raked side to side at a ‘V’ angle. The front grille was not an intrusive upright piece, but more of an integrated ‘waterfall’ look, with the lights remaining relatively flush with the body. The front fenders enclosed the front tires, and the rear fenders nearly encased the rear tires to further improve the power to drag ratio.

With hundreds of hours of engineering dedicated to producing a more efficient car of the future, the public essentially was not ready for such an imperative change and the car did not sell as successfully as Chrysler had expected. However, although the car did not directly benefit the company as much as executives had hoped, the innovations the Airflow brought forth were not ignored by other manufacturers. Volvo was the first manufacturer to put a smaller copy of the Airflow into production, and the Peugeot 202 saw great success. The Toyota AA was the first car built by the brand, and was essentially a copy of the airflow.

This 1935 Imperial C-2 Coupe is one of ten known to survive of just 200 built. The Airflow is perhaps the best example of Art Deco style in the American idiom. This rare C-2 Coupe is a brilliantly conceived and well-executed machine that was simply too modern for its time.

Peugeot D4 «Nez de cochon»

The Peugeot D3 and its successor, the Peugeot D4 were forward control panel vans sold by Peugeot from October 1950 till 1965. The van originated as a front wheel drive light van produced by Chenard-Walcker, whose business Peugeot had acquired by 1950. The van, based on a wartime design, was relaunched, soon after the Liberation, in June 1946 as the Chenard-Walcker CPV. In this form it was powered by a two-cylinder water-cooled two-stroke engine of just 1,021 cc. Power output of 26 hp was claimed. Accepting that even by the standards of the time, this level of power was insufficient, in 1947 the manufacturers switched to using the 1,133 cc engine of the Peugeot 202, and claimed power increased to 30 hp.The original two-cylinder engine had the merit of being very compact, and in order to accommodate the four-cylinder unit from Peugeot the nose of the van had to be extended, which compromised the clean frontal design of the original van and gave rise to frequent use of the «Nez de cochon» (“pig nose”) soubriquet.
