Equipment

Market commentary
Even though this result is impressive for a DeSoto when compared with a 56 Chevy or Ford in comparable condition it is in better perspective. Much more rare than most of its contemporaries and blessed with the high output 341 cubic inch Hemi, the new owner has a car that will always attract abundant and positive attention and stand out from the relatively ubiquitous Chevys and Fords.
