The DeSoto was a brand of automobile, manufactured and marketed by the Chrysler Corporation from 1928 to 1961. The DeSoto Airstream was sold from 1935-36 and was sold along with the streamlined and upmarket DeSoto Airflow. While streamlined and aerodynamic, the Airflow was not embraced by the public and many more Airstreams were sold. The Airstream was available in 4 door sedan, 2 door coupe and 2 door convertible. In 1936 the Airstream was split into two trim levels, Deluxe and Custom. Deluxe models had one piece windshields while Customs (exp. the convertible) had two piece units
