Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Clock, tachometer, no radio or heater, skits, trim rings, wide whitewalls, crank out windshield. A very attractive cosmetic restoration with good paint, chrome and upholstery. Chassis has been repainted assembled. Engine is orderly but not up to showroom standards. No Reserve.

Market commentary

Sold by RM at Meadow Brook in 2007 for $55,000 in aged but sound partially restored condition, then got a strip and repaint and a thorough engine service. It was money down the drain for the consignor, but not for the buyer who got an attractively presented DeSoto Airflow, one of eight known survivors in this body style, for an advantageous price.
