Note that this car only has a working driver's side windshield wiper and a modern, Mopar driver's side spotlight. The tires and wheels are in good, original condition. ![]() Each tire is mounted to red, vented factory wheel with a steel center cap. Airflows in 1936 featured "Life Guard" inner tubes which had dual inner tubes. This Airflow rides on wide whitewall tires, size 7.00-16 at all four corners. With solid, original bodywork, including an all-steel top, the car's engine bay is quite tidy, its cargo area with a full-sized spare tire, is in very good order and the car's chrome bumpers are in very good, original condition. As was common during that time, the rear doors open "coach" style, i.e., they are hinged at the rear (suicide). The front side vent windows even roll into the doors with the main glass, however there is a crack in the driver's side rearmost window. The car's vee'd, two-piece windshield (which could be opened via hand crank), six side windows and divided rear glass are all clear and intact while the aerodynamic headlights and accented taillights enhance the car's avant-garde styling.
