Equipment
237/109hp six, hub caps and trim rings, General wide whitewalls, fender skirts, hood ornament, column shift 3-speed, pushbutton radio.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Sold on bonded title. Lightly dulled chrome and body trim with a few scratches on the bumpers, plus surface rust and stains on the rear bumper. Tired old repaint. Poor panel fit. Clean newer top with a repainted top frame. Original dash but new seats. Old tires. Light oxidation but mostly tidy underneath. Not a car you see often, but not an impressive example, just an average driver for a casual fair weather cruise around town.
Market commentary
This result is reasonable for the DeSoto's mundane specifications and mediocre presentation but presents its new owner with a funky ride for summer ice cream runs with the kids.
