Equipment
Indy Pace Car replica. 330 225hp Hemi, automatic, pushbutton radio, P W, P S, P B. 16 2 3rpm LP record player under dash with a giant alternator under the hood that looks like it came from Boulder Dam, with appropriate wiring. Just an exceptional automobile, a real showstopper. Clean underhood, spotless chassis, good paint, interior and chrome. Bodywork could be better: doors not flush, ripples on right side.
Market commentary
The bodywork shortcomings were willingly overlooked by all and sundry who were captivated by this delicious piece. Its just cool and so different in a world crowded with Chevys and Fords. Its a DeSoto, its rare, its cool and its different. Its also bought at a price appropriate to the market but a great intrinsic value. OK, I liked this car, even if in the field I thought it would bring high $20s.
