1937 Dodge Airflow Tanker Texaco Truck by Matchbox Collectibles
The Dodge Airflow truck was a special request model truck that Dodge introduced in late 1934 and available through 1940. It used styling cues from Chrysler and DeSoto Airflow automobiles. Most of the units produced, a few hundred, were fitted with streamlined tank truck bodies, and were used by major oil companies, like Texaco, Socony-Vacuum Oil Company (Mobil) and Esso (Standard Oil of New Jersey).
Airflow trucks were based on standard Dodge models, so from an engineering point of view they were rather conventional, despite their striking look. They had waterfall grilles similar to Airflow cars. Several pieces still exist, mostly restored in automobile museums.
