The car’s unique exterior design included a split airflow windshield with two different glass panes. For it’s time, the DeSoto Airflow had a very short wheelbase considering it was regarded as a premium offering, and the engine was mounted exactly above the front axle. All these gave the 1934 DeSoto Airflow Coupe better manueverability than most other cars.
