Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Fluid Drive, heater, pushbutton radio, skirts, trim rings, wide whitewalls. Quick older cosmetic restoration with failing chrome trim, fair paint, good interior and top. Chassis painted over old undercoat. Loose top fit. A very unusual car that deserves better treatment than it got.

Market commentary

Unusual can fairly be applied to this DeSoto (to pretty much any DeSoto for that matter) and it was bought for a modest price. Its an orphan, but so are Oldsmobiles, Plymouths and heaven only knows what will be next.
