Currently on ebay, this desoto framed early 50's racer/runabout.

Not bad. Pretty cool looking car and I like the Ford Flattie better than a modern 350 sitting in there. Much prefer it to that yellow squashed bug next to it in the pictures.

I like it. It would be good for blowing the cobwebs out from between the ears on certain days.

Gents,

 

Always nice to see a 9 cylinder V-8 come up for sale.

It's actually 13 cylinders... eight in the engine, one master, and four — maybe more — in the wheels.

 

Aside from the misprint that is one very, very cool car. Nice lines, great patina, and and probably loads of fun to drive.
