THERE
’
S A NEW CANADIAN STREET SCENE. A MORE CIVILIZED WAY TO TRAVEL. THE BIGGEST THRILL SINCE YOUR FIRST FLIGHT.
History doesn’t come in books, it
happens. It’s real. You can see it taking place before your very eyes.
Look around you. Notice the changes everywhere . . . even in the traffic. Notice the new AIRFLOW DeSoto speeding past
the old-fashioned cars of yesterday. It’s a moving symbol of our air-minded age. A few months ago, the AIRFLOW DeSoto was a startling new thought. Today it is accepted, taken for granted. Its logic is so obvious, its superiority so compelling.
Let’s take one specific point. In conventional cars (A), half the passengers are doomed to bounce over the back axle. In the AIRFLOW DeSoto (B), engine and passengers are moved forward. You ride in the middle where you belong.
THERE’S A LOT being said about ‘”improved riding.” But when you step through DeSoto’s extra-wide doors . . . stretch out . . . and glide away without sound or quiver . . . you know that this is no improvement. It’s something new.
You can read in comfort at all speeds. Bad roads mean nothing. And you can drop off to sleep secure in the knowledge that you’re in the safest kind of car ever built. For the first time, frame and body are one. You’re protected on all sides.
Why buy another old-style car when you can be ahead of the procession . . . this year … in a DeSoto. But forget buying. Go and take the first Floating Ride of your life. Because you’ll never know what has happened to cars until you do!
3 models:
4-Door 6-Passenger Sedan;
2-Door 6-Passenger Brougham;
3-Passenger Coupe with enclosed rumble seats.
Improved Duplale Safety Plate Glass throughout at slight additional cost.
Dear Jim, I’m writing this at 80 miles an hour!
If you’ve ever bounced on the back seat of a car… read this story. It’s about a New Kind of automobile…with a Floating Ride that will cause a sensation!
IMAGINE YOURSELF writing a legible letter in a car, travelling at 80 miles an hour . . .
Imagine yourself comfortably asleep in the back seat . . . speeding over country roads . . .
Imagine a car that literally “bores” its way through the air . . . silently . . . like a bird . . .
In other words . . . imagine the AIRFLOW DeSoto! Of course . . . nobody can imagine what has never existed before. And you cannot see this new kind of motor car until January . . .
But here are some of the reasons why it was built . . . and how it was built . . . why it will be the most talked-about car of 1934.
Streamlining — Old Style
When a car goes by that has a sloping radiator . . . a cowl-less windshield … a rounded stern . . . people frequently call it “streamlined.”
Does it deserve that name ? We can soon find out by putting it in a modern wind-tunnel. That’s how they test airplanes… and here’s what we see:
It causes a violent disturbance. The air collides with it . … presses it back . . . clutches at it in passing . . . sucks it backward from the rear. This so-called streamlined car uses 50% of its power at 60 miles an hour to fight the air!
AIRFLOW
The Real Thing. Now see what happens when a truly streamlined shape passes through the air. Here is a fast monoplane as it would be seen through the window of a giant wind-tunnel.
Instead of fighting the air . . . it bores a hole through it. No wonder modern planes can cross the U. S. in ten hours … no wonder racing cars look like bullets … no wonder the newest trains will look like long silver projectiles.
DeSoto — A True Aero-Dynamic Car
True aero-dynamic design is the next step in modern travel . . . by sea . . . by air . . . by road. Conventional cars will soon seem slow and clumsy.
“Beauty is Truth . . .Truth Beauty”
Poetic words . . . full of wisdom. Anything that is made right… in harmony with the fundamentals of natural law . . . must be beautiful, whether it is a piece of sculpture or a motor car.
You will gasp at DeSoto’s flowing beauty. You may have dreamed of a motor car as distinctive as this . . . but certainly you have never seen one.
It has the simplicity of the skyscraper . . . the grace of a modern steamship. If you are a Modern .. . in tempo with the spirit of our age . . . DeSoto will thrill you as no other car has done before.
Most Amazing Ride You’ve Ever Had!
Yes . . . the AIRFLOW DeSoto will thrill you to look at. But just wait till you ride in it! It will feel just as different as your first airplane ride . . . just as exciting. You’ve ridden in a lot of cars that seemed comfortable. But after one AIRFLOW DeSoto ride they’ll all seem antiquated. That’s how sensationally different it is! The diagram below shows how the back seat passengers in a conventional car ride over the back axle:
No wonder they get bounced about. No wonder that they need “assist-straps” to hold onto!
Now see how you ride in the AIRFLOW DeSoto {above). Everybody rides “amidships.” For the first time in history, the back seats are just as comfortable as the front ones. And the front ones are
twice as comfortable as they ever were before.
Climb in … take a back seat. We’re off! Notice the smooth, silent acceleration! Cruising at 80! Swing onto that side road . . . wide open. The ground flows by beneath you unfelt. You’re as relaxed as in an armchair. You can read your newspaper without effort. You can write a letter. You can actually go to sleep!
Built Like a Bridge
There is nothing safer than a modern girder-trussed bridge. But wouldn’t you be surprised to see one that was only partly trussed … like this:
Yet the fact is that conventional cars are built that way. The frame ends stick out in front like the handles of a wheelbarrow… like this:
The result is the safest low-priced car ever built. You ride surrounded by beams of structural strength. The entire car moves as a whole instead of the frame vibrating against the body. Another reason why you can relax so completely.
This feature alone is sufficient to mark the AIR-FLOW as the most advanced design for 1934.
It Will Soon Be Here
There are dozens of other astonishing features about this new car that will excite you. We can t describe them all. The car itself will soon be here. Be one of the first to take an AIRFLOW DeSoto ride. It’s an experience you will never forget. Give your DeSoto dealer your name and address. He will send you an invitation as soon as the first model arrives.
