Model history:

The Chrysler Airstream was an automobile produced by Chrysler in the 1935 and 1936 model years, which was available in the body variants coupe, convertible coupe, sedan, touring sedan and fastback sedan. In terms of design, the Airstream was conventional compared to most other cars of the time, but at that time already had hydraulic brakes, an automatic overdrive and an automatic choke. The Airstream models, which significantly boosted sales at Chrysler in the 1930s, were powered by either an in-line six-cylinder or in-line eight-cylinder. The most powerful expansion stage had up to 110 hp.
