Michael Anderson Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 For Auction: The sole surviving 1936 Chrysler Airflow C11 Limousine. Number 19 of 27 C11s produced, this majestic survivor is showing an original 63,087 miles on her clock, and still wears original paintwork and interior, in a fine state of preservation. The car was subjected to nose-to-tail inspection and testing by John Spinks, (Senior Judge for the Airflow Club of America, and Joint Author of their "Standards of Correctness" manual) who subsequently undertook months of careful mechanical repairs and restoration as required, using only original Airflow parts and old-new stock. Numerous items of inauthentic and botched previous repair-work were eliminated in this process, and the car is mechanically correct and performs very well. Please be advised that the 1936 Chrysler Airflow C11 limo has been entered into an auction scheduled for Monday 23rd September, at 7:00pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time).

keiser31 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Just a side note....there is absolutely no way to know if this is the ONLY 1936 Chrysler Airflow C11 Limousine left. There could certainly be one languishing in someone's shop or garage or warehouse that we do not know about. This may be the only one KNOWN of that is out in the public eye, but there could be one or two hiding. Sorry if I popped your balloon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLYER15015 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Considering what all the other makes of cars looked like in '36 (boxes on wheels and square grilles), this has to be considered the "original Batmobile". Has to be the first ever car with a drive shaft hump in the rear floor. Something people had to get used to. Yea, I know someone will prove me wrong, but it's the thought that counts. I love it !!!!!
