I am wondering if someone can decode this for me please. A very big Thankyou.
The previous owner has passed away and his son know nothing about the vehicle.I have tried to contact an earlier owner without success.I purchased it as a 1946 DeSoto Custom Coupe???I live in Australia.There are rumours it came out of South Africa??? It is an export model.It is a right hand drive DeSoto.She was repainted and trimmed many years ago.Engine number C38-205242.VIN/Chassis Number 5956682I have figured out that Model 11 means S11. Body 22 is Coupe?Paint (227) code I have found some information but nothing on the Trim (917) Code.What is RD - 3?What does Spec Fo. No. - 4723, Sched. 708 and Item No. 3099 mean?Where can I get more info on body numbers?
