Welcome Aboard from Oz.........I like the DeSoto.....don't think I've ever seen a pic of one, certainly never seen one in the flesh as all mopars post war were 4dr sedans based essentially on the Plymouth 4 dr body shell with variations of the Plymouth, Dodge or DeSoto grilles and body moldings etc and for a few years in the mid/late 50's some Utes and a few wagons.......hardtops just didn't arrive..........nice car..........andyd

Very sharp Desoto ! Dad had a ‘50 when I was a kid, but wasn’t the hard top.

This is it's big brother...a 1950 NewYorker Newport 8 cylinder hardtop...same body as the good looking DeSoto!

Convertible "X" member frame.... not sure if the DeSoto uses the convert "X" frame though...

Nice car.  I see a little period spiffing up with the lakes pipes and dummy teardrop spots.  Are the pipes connected?  Welcome to the forum.Back in the 70s I had a 51 DeSoto hardtop with the factory a/c unit in the trunk and clear plastic vent tubes in the package tray.
