Yep , that`s a good`n !!

Say, those are rare! I can't say that I've seen a late 40s Dodge convertible before. They are rather rare. I do see p-15 convertibles, and other 30s-40s Plymouth convertibles… An occasional Chrysler convertible but, not many DeSoto and Dodge convertibles.

All fixed up those could be a lot of fun, and very handsome! :-)

Are they for sale?

[old-idaho-iron]

Robert the Desoto is not my car, but it is for sale 4 g's I believe, it's in Lehi Utah..

[Frank Elder]

2 more desotos......

[Robert Smith]

$4K for the DeSoto? And it's in Lehi Utah? I know a guy who's looking for a convertible... Not sure how ambitious he is but, he may be interested.

Thanks!

I've lived in Joplin since 1968 and have only ever seen one D24

convertible here. It was owned by an older lady just south of

town.....sat in an old garage building at her house.

I inquired when I first saw it.....but not for sale.

Was yellow - and getting run down by then.

Then the lady moved a few miles west over into Kansas....took

the car with her. Not sure how things went, but ultimately an

older fellow from the area ended up being able to puchase the

car several years later. I missed it by not being persistent and

staying in contact with the lady. Of course, the guy who bought

it just re-sold it to make a buck. I would have kept it as a

companion to the Plymouth.

I'm sure the DeSoto convert is even more rare than the Dodge.

Even the Plymouth ragtop was kinda rare when new.....just a bit over

15,000 of them built during the P15 model run.

Saw this in a nearby town, said DeSoto on the bumper. It looked nice

I see this one at a car show occasionally. Same guy also has a very nice original 51 plymouth convert.
