desoto1939 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Posted May 25, 2012 LAst week end I attended the eastern AACA regioanl carshow that was held in reading PA. They had over 300 cars attend and alot of old brass cars. They had an outstading 1933 Desoto rumble seat coupe that knock your socks off. Several plymouths and a couple of Desotos, 1939, 1937, 1941 and two 59 Adventurers. I put my 39 Desoto inthe HPOF classification, Hisrotical Presevation of Original Features. This ws the first time for the car to be offically evaluated. The car has been repainted but the reaming was still original except for the headliner and wiring. So now I have the AACA HPOF badge on my car. I wanted to keep the car as original as much as possible. I was told by my judge that they do not see many desotos and very few pre-war desotos. So I am proud of the car, just bragging a-little. HAd a good time seeing some original cars. Also there was a very nice 1936 Chrylser Airflow in a nice Olive green.

RobertKB Posted May 25, 2012 Report Posted May 25, 2012 Congratulation! Like you, I really appreciate an original car. My '53 Plymouth is original including paint. New headliner and carpet as the others were so badly torn they had to be replaced. I will never get a chance to have it judged as yours was in HPOF but I am sure it would qualify. I've seen pictures of your car on the forum and it is a beauty! Quote
