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.

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.
