randroid Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 Ony, In the States the P-15 designation was given to the Plymouth's. I understand that the Dodge's of that era sold in Canada were actually Plymouths dressed in Dodge trim, so I wonder if the De Soto's sold in Brazil had a similar treatment? (While writing this post I can't go back to the thumbnails, and I wasn't awake enough to check before writing.) Those are still beautiful cars regardless of how they began life. -Randy Quote
RobertKB Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 Those beautiful Desotos are Plymouth bodied with Desoto trim added and I believe were for export only. The Canadian Dodges (D25) as mentioned have a similar treatment with the Plymouth body but Dodge trim and were only sold in Canada. Quote
greg g Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 Welcome to the forum. Your cars are magnífico. What engines do they have??? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 The engine size was the reason for the rebadge as the export had the smaller Plymouth engine...or so I read I may ad... Quote

mackster Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 Welcome to the forum Ony! Can you post a picture of the 52 Desoto Custom....Please...I am really digging your collection! Greetings From California Mackster. Quote
RobertKB Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 Ony, I think you are right about the parking lens being the same on your Desoto and on my Dodge D25. However, I do not have a spare one at present but I will keep looking for some and if I find any I will keep you in mind. They do show up on ebay at times but can be quite expensive. We have a local swapmeet in February and I will be sure to look for some then. Quote

B-Watson Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 The DeSoto SP15 was an export model built in both Detroit and Windsor. Not many know that up until Chrysler Australia introduced the Chrysler Royal AP1 all Chrysler Corporation cars were built in the U.S. and Canada. Cars shipped to other markets were complete units, CKD units or chassis/powertrain units. The chassis units were shipped to Australia where Australian bodies were placed on the chassis. The first Plymouth-based DeSoto export models appeared in 1937, built in Detroit. Chrysler Canada began building them in 1939, although none were built at Windsor in 1955. For 1949 they became known as the DeSoto Dipomat and the final two years, 1960 and 1961, were really Dodge Darts. The "Canadian" Dodge was also built at the Plymouth plant in Detroit for export. The first Plymouth-based Dodge appeared for 1934, and in 1936 American production began for export markets. In 1949 the export models were sold as Dodge Kingsway. 1959 was the last year for the Kingsway and the Plymouth-based Dodge. Leftover 1961 Dodge Lancers were sold in South Africa as the 1962 DeSoto Rebel, where 1962 Dodge Darts were also sold under the DeSoto name. The export Dodges and DeSotos were never sold in Canada, although they were sold in Hawaii before it became a state. Bill Vancouver, BC Quote

BobT-47P15 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 It looks as if the P15 DeSoto has a flat rectangular parking light lense, like a Dodge D24, instead of the small curved one like a Plymouth. Click on link to view the DeSoto. http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=7704&d=1223475296 On ebay is this 48 American DeSoto......the parking lenses are in a different location than the one is Brasil.
