knighthawk Posted March 31, 2007 Report Posted March 31, 2007 the airflow is a highly streamlined car only made for a couple years. I'm not a MO PAR guy, so not the familiar, but I think they are very rare, only seen one in person at a car show in Texas, and it was the only one in the region ! Quote
1just4don Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Posted April 1, 2007 Alot of the better cars have there own picture on the proxy bid site,,,you can bid now or live during the auction. I would think that would slow down the auction process alot,,,has anyone ever been to an auction where they did proxy or online bidding??? How did it go??? Slower?? The 37 Dodge Coup has a bid on it already of $110. T The 63 Chrysler 300 Indy pace car convertable was bid on too,like $10. or some fool thing. Maybe it was 110 bucks too,I forget. It is in GREAT shape,may not need restored to make a daily driver. Bet that one goes high. The 37 Air flow car doesnt have a bid,surprisingly,,,isnt it the most rare of all these cars??? Says the motor and trans are there and rest is called 'rough'. What do you think the parts off that one would fetch??? Sure would like to have that one in the shed and ask a 'bunch' for just one fender on e-bay and see what happens. Somebody that 'needs' one cant have too many to 'pick' from,wouldnt think!!! The motor/ trans would be regular Chrysler,,right,,,just like other cars. What say YOU??? Quote
Young Ed Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 I believe the airflows had mechanical ODs. I know some of them certainly did. We sold one on ebay a last summer. Quote
rearview Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Better bid more than $10 on that 300... I'm after that one. Was at a machinery auction last week that had online bidding. It slowed it a little, but not enough to be annoying Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 They made both a 4 door and 2 door Airflow. Have seen a few of them in person. Kind of neat.....also kinda ugly......one person I met at a show has made his into a street rod. Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 I don't guy's. Don't see anything that trips my trigger. The only car that might be worth going after is this one. Not my cup of tea though. Quote
1just4don Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Posted April 2, 2007 I tried moving the pic of the 37 Dodge coupe but lost it someplace. I copied like always but got here and it was "gone". I did save it to my pics page. How do I get it here?? Anyway I like the styling of those headlamps being external and the piano hinge hood. Quote

Go to the sight and click on the large picture of the car. 2. Now right click on the picture with your mouse, find "Copy Image Location" in the box that popped up. Then left click on it. 3. Come back to this box on the forum. Click on the small box with yellow background and mountain in it. Erase the http in the box, then hit "Control V" on your keyboard. That will paste the picture (image) location address in the box. Then the picture will show up here either in Preview Post or Submit Reply. Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 THis car was way ahead of it's time. I was in the woods on Sunday and saw a 1936 chrysler bus. coupe. It had been there for almost 40 years, The lady that lived at this house finally died and they have rented the house out. A friend and I asked if we could go in the back yard and look at the old cars and trucks she had back there, she has a 29 ford TT, a 30 buick frame, 36 chrysler and a 1934 or 36 ford panel truck. The husband had a saw mill and was killed in an accident at the mill, the wife would not allow anyone to touch the husbands things. She evenually went mad and had to be looked after for years by her sister, now both are dead and the inlaws are removing things form the place. This car (chrysler)was parked there just as it was left, windows rolled half way down the key still in the ignition, I can tell it was a beautyful car in it's time, maybe they will let my friend and I have it, time will tell:rolleyes: Quote
1just4don Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Posted April 5, 2007 Anybody interested in sale results of this sale??? Here are a ,,,few,, 1914 Model T said none nicer--$$10,100 that 63 convertable(the red one) nice- $10,600 1937 Dodge Coupe,all there but original-restorable-$3,700. (isnt this a bit high for an OLD outside stored car??) The 37 airflow--rough- $900. NOW, my basic question on board here,,,I was watching this online,I am puter challenged to say the least,,,every few minutes I was timed out on my connection and got booted and had to start over,very frustrating. I KNOW there is a place to adjust your time out time but I have looked all over in frustration and cant find it,,,any clues from the puter whizes out there?? This is my first time and I found it highly NOT my favorite way to spend my time. They constantly lost there connection on there end too so was out of touch (IF) one was serious as to bdding on something,,,it would be long gone. Lots of bugs to get out of this system,,,think a highest bid left with auctioneer would be MUCH better. ANY suggestions?? Tanks -d- Quote
rearview Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 I stayed on and bid on a few items, the 300 vert was particularly interesting. I never lost connection, but I also didn't win anything. I jumped off the 300 at $9000 Quote
