Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Automatic, wheel covers, wide whitewalls, curb feelers, pushbutton radio, rear anten. 64,949 miles. Quick old casually masked repaint, fair new interior, cracked steering wheel rim, loose door windows, scratched side and window trim. Old undercoat on chassis. Dash and instrument panel not redone. Paint overspray on curb feelers. A tired but largely origil and very unusual DeSoto with small Hemi V8.

Market commentary

Theres a lot of work to be done on this DeSoto but at the other end of the project it will be a handsome piece that will stand out among the rows of Chevys and Fords.
