"Chrysler wystąpił z zupełnie nowym kształtem maski i osłony chłodnicy, nieuzasadnionym jakimikolwiek względami technicznymi, a stworzonym tylko jedynie po to, by się czymś wyróżnić i robić "wrażenie" swym niezwykłym wyglądem. Przód Chryslerów zaczyna coraz bardziej przypominać lokomotywę, zrezygnowano tu całkowicie z właściwego pod względem opływowym ukształtowania błotników i chłodnicy, pomimo, że właśnie ta sama firma w swych modelach Airfiow potrafiła w swoim czasie stworzyć racjonalny kształt przodu, dobrze jednoczącego błotniki z osłoną i maską." (Cytat z Auto Technika Samochodowa '36 - relacja z salonu w Paryżu) This year saw the last Airflow cars, the Chrysler C17. Total Airflow output from 1934 was 29.928. |

Chryslers assembled in Britain are Plymouth models with some modifications.
BRILLIANT new lines, increased roominess and luggage carrying capacity, and scores of important engineering improvements distinguish the new line of Chrysler cars, making them the most practical cars, especially for the owner-driver, that have ever left the Chrysler factory. Chrysler cars are still ahead with motoring's newest and most outstanding improvement-the Automatic Overdrive-standard on all these Chrysler models except the Kew. The Automatic Overdrive is virtually two additional ultra-high gears. It operates automatically. When at a pre-determined speed the foot is momentarily lifted from the accelerator the Automatic Overdrive engages. It cuts down engine revolutions by one third, reduces petrol and oil consumption and enables the car to cruise more silently and more comfortably than has ever before been possible. THE new cars are roomier, having bigger bodies. The engine of these new cars has been moved six inches further forward which again gives increased body space and more comfortable riding as all seats are now positioned well between the axles. Bodies this year are entirely insulated from the frame. There is no metal to metal contact between body and frame whatsoever. The bodies are mounted on outriggers, cushioned in live rubber, effectively making the bodywork free from road vibration and tyre noise. THE hypoid rear axle adopted in the new Chrysler models is not only stronger and more silent, but it has the important advantage of leaving a smooth and unobstructed floor in the rear compartment. Look where you will in these new Chryslers and you will find that Chrysler engineers have been successful in making them more practicable and more convenient than ever. Disc wheels are now standard with their greater ease of cleaning and smarter appearance. The luggage trunks are bigger and roomier. They house the spare wheel out of sight, protected from the weather, and will carry a surprising amount of luggage as well. ALL those many improvements which millions of miles on the road in the hands of owner drivers have proved and tested are, of course, retained. Prominent amongst these is the stabiliser preventing body sway when cornering ; the marvellous tapered leaf suspension wherein long thin leaves of Amola steel controlled by double acting shock absorbers have revolutionised riding comfort. Chrysler
patent Floating Power, one of the most important improvements ever
contributed to motoring, renders these Chrysler power plants
unbelievably smooth and vibrationless. Chrysler hydraulic brakes
guarantee smooth and skidless stops even in emergencies. The
all-steel bodies are electrically welded into one unit of
battleship strength for your protection. |
