Brief
History of the Club
The Airflow Club, founded in 1962, has grown to a membership of approximately 600 with members currently in the U. S., Canada, and seven other countries. The Club is organized into three regions, covering the Eastern, Central and Western portions of the U.S. Each year one of the regions hosts the Club's Annual Meet. There is a rigorous judging of the cars at this meet focusing on originality and quality of restoration. Many members attending the annual meets drive their cars to and from the meet. The three regions also hold events at various times throughout the year. The Eastern Region annually has a banquet during the Hershey weekend each fall and the Western Region has for the past several years attended the San Diego Swap Meet in the spring as a group.

Newsletter:
The Club publishes a monthly Newsletter containing stories and photographs of members and their cars at various activities as well as historical information on the development and history of these cars. Also included is a members' Marketplace page with Airflow cars, parts, and memorabilia wanted or for sale. The Club also sponsors projects to reproduce some special parts unobtainable elsewhere such as rubber parts and owners manuals. Those items on hand are listed on a Club Store page. The Club produces a roster of all of the members with information about their Airflow cars which is sent only to the members. The networking through Club membership provides an unparalleled resource of information for those involved in restoring an Airflow car. If you are having problems in finding a replacement part or need to know what the correct application is for your project, someone in the Club will have faced the same questions and will have that information.
Because the Airflow Club is relatively small,
it has developed as a very friendly organization. We will make anyone with
an interest in the DeSoto and Chrysler Airflow cars and Dodge Airflow trucks
welcome.
