Equipment
Wheel covers, pushbutton radio, windshield sun visor, heater, oil filter, 3 speed and stated to have 22,891 miles. Good cosmetic restoration of a mostly origil car, some overspray on window sills, tidy and mostly origil underhood, a little thin trim chrome. A sound and attractive car, even if the flathead six doesnt set any performance benchmarks.
Market commentary
A highly unusual and very origil DeSoto. Its staid and uninspiring intrinsic attributes are to some extent offset both by its origility and its survival. Its rare, but is it valuable The seller thought so and its hard to argue against that belief. It will attract attention as no 55 Bel Air will, however the amount bid seems like it is more than sufficient to have pried the DeSoto from its consignors loving grasp.
