Car of the Week: 1928 Ford Model A roadster custom
A fitting tribute roadster, De Soto Airflow to be sold in Palm Springs and Savoy's 2024 calendar in this week's Old Cars' newsletter.
It truly is a fitting tribute. One man builds a tribute to the family's prewar hot rod.
Back a few years ago, when third-generation garage owner Willie Martin first expressed interest in building himself a roadster, he wasn't exactly discouraged by friends. What Willie had in mind wouldn't be just another roadster, but rather a close clone of the 1928 Model A that his father and grandfather raced together in the early 1940s.
As rumor of Willie's intentions spread through his hometown of Riverside, Calif., friends began dropping off parts. In rolled a salvageable frame, then a pair of headlamps, a windshield frame, a usable steering gearbox and so on. The parts pile grew quite rapidly, but a month or so in, one key component just wasn't materializing. Willie still needed a body.
McCormick's Palm Springs Collector Car auction, set for Feb. 23-25 will offer up a rare gem, a 1934 DeSoto Airflow Brougham.
Palm Springs, Calif. - A 1934 DeSoto Airflow Brougham-- one of only four known to exist today-- is the star of the upcoming show at McCormick's Palm Springs Collector Car auction, set for Feb. 23-25.
In more than 37 years in the auction business, Keith McCormick said, "This is the first two-door Airflow I have ever seen."
Of the 13,940 DeSoto Airflows sold in 1934, only 522 were two-door Broughams. Part of the Chrysler Corporation's family of cars, the Airflow Brougham was considered a "streamlined" town car with no rear trunk, which allowed space for a full-size rear seat with plenty of head room for three people. The design, considered ahead of its time, featured a "waterfall" grille in front and a gradual sloping roofline in the rear.
