Old Antique Toys

This blog discusses old toys from the early 1920's to the end of the 1950's. All kinds of topics are discussed. The time span was the greatest period for "hands-on" toys, where a young child could actually go outside and play for hours at a time. You can see the elegance but simple design of these toys. It was a time when huge machines, and people made and finished toys by hand. The era has long passed, but many of the toys are still around, and that is what I would like to share.

I've written before about the Chrysler Airflow, but I decided to search again for more photos.

The Airflow was built from 1934-1937, but sadly did not dwell well, and was a commercial failure.

The car was aerodynamically built to create less wind resistance, and also used a unibody (monocoque) construction for added strength and to be more aerodynamic. Chrysler built a wind tunnel to study the flow of air over the car, and how less resistant to air the car was, hence the name "Airflow".
