Video: Chrysler Airflow cross-USA "economy run"
How times have changed...
--- L.A. to N.Y. Speed? Around the 50 mph mark, "even as you and I would drive on a leisurely tour." 3072 miles 18 mpg $35 (incl. 2 quarts oil). "Not only champion of all fine cars in performance, but the champion in economy as well!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZC5lQwq5g4 |
I seem to recall reading somewhere that the drag coefficient of that body is better in reverse than forward. Pick the body up, spin it 'round on the chassis, do the trip again.

Well you aren't recalling correctly.

Where's Mythbusters when you really need 'em?

Where is Google when you need it? Sometimes I think I'm the only one that knows how to use it.

Hi,
According to this Popular Mechanics article, the Chrysler Airflow Cd was never measured: Popular Science - Google Books But, another Google-scanned book has the Cd at 0.50! http://books.google.com/books?id=bn6...20drag&f=false |
