"Chrysler never offered Plymouth or Dodge Airflow cars, but they did apply the Airflow name to a series of large Dodge commercial trucks. The initial Model K-52 Special, introduced in December 1934, was a four-ton chassis-cab, powered by a 310 cu. in. (5,074 cc) six with 95 hp (71 kW). Despite the Airflow-style grille, its engineering was quite conventional. The later RX70 and RX71 models, introduced in December 1937, had a bored-out 331 cu. in. (5,430 cc) engine with 100 gross horsepower (75 kW). Many Dodge Airflows were used as tankers, including this restored Texaco truck, now part of the Walter P. Chrysler Museum collection. The museum estimates that only 261 Airflow-series trucks were built before production ended in early 1940, and very few survive today."
