Market commentary
A huge car (both in dimensions and in importance), but also huge money. DeSoto is the forgotten Mopar and the limited production Adventurers, of which only about 300 convertibles were built, are prized collectors items that have recently come into their own. This Gilbert Propes restored example is beyond perfect. Its price is nearly beyond belief, too, for one with dual quads instead of the one with the legendary (factory recalled) fuel injection. A curve and record setter that started off RMs Milt Robson auction and set the tone for the sale.
