Chrysler 200/Airflow Wind Tunnel
Just looked at this.
$1,200,000 in tunnel time for the 200.
They briefly show a 1937 Airflow in the same tunnel.

The Airflow had as much screen time as the 200. Counting the time it spent as a backdrop for the talent, and the 200's few seconds on the road.

Yeah, for the "most extensive research and testing programme in the industry" they sure are light on details.
(And if that extensive research has led the RV they show, it couldn't have been very extensive, that's for sure.)
