AteUpWithMotor's piece on the Chrysler Airflow

If y'all haven't already read Ate Up With Motor, it's a great website that gets into the histories of various makes/models, from the plucky little Renault 5 compact car, to the rise and fall of John DeLorean and the DMC12, to the audacious depression era Cadillac V16s. They're all great reads, and Aaron puts an unbelievable amount of detail and effort into getting his research spot-on.

This week he posted his piece on an EcoModder favorite, the Chrysler AirFlow:

Changing Winds: The 1934-1937 Chrysler and DeSoto Airflows

Written by Aaron Severson

The streamlined Airflow remains the best known (and most infamous) of all prewar Chryslers, a bold and ambitious engineering achievement that became a notorious commercial flop. This week, we look at the origins and fate of the Chrysler and DeSoto Airflows.

"All I know about music is that not many people ever really hear it. [...] But the man who creates the music is hearing something else, is dealing with the roar rising from the void and imposing order on it as it hits the air. What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for the same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours." -Sonny's Blues
