BobT-47P15 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 Saw this car a few years ago sitting at a garage south of here....and it was for sale at the time. It is a 1951 Desoto with a Plymouth body.....they said the late owner had brought it home from Japan after his tour of duty there. Apparently it had been sitting for several years---and was not in the best condition. The shop owner later said no one purchased the car and the owner's family took it back home. Quote
falconvan Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 Nice; I like the Desoto grille in there. I think $3K is a little steep for a four door but the novelty of the mixed breed would be a cool conversation piece. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Posted October 4, 2015 I had to look at it a while to decide it was really a DeSoto; Im not so crazy about a four door model and it did need some work.........but it would definitely be different. You would have to explain to the average guy how and why it was different. Quote
Ulu Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 It's ugly, except I keep picturing that grille on my P-15... Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 you do have a problem with vision...that goes beyond ugly....maybe...just maybe if one was gold plated it would look more at home.. Quote
Ulu Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 I hesitated to say it was ugly at all, because a member might own one, or we might have a new member that shows up here tomorrow, having bought it. But it was just so ugly I couldn't restrain myself. BTW my vision is kind of a sore subject. I had to quit flying due to my vision, and it's worse since then. I might not pass the DMV eye test in another 5 years when my license comes due for renewal. Quote
