DonaldSmith Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) I had a visit today from 49D-24BusCpe, who lives maybe four miles from me, northwest of Motown. He brought his 49 1st Series Bus Coupe, a California car, to meet my 47 DeSoto Suburban. Both cars proudly represented the Mopar world.

knuckleharley Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I love the 42-early 49 business coupes (have a 42),but there is something about that roof rack,the visor and the paint job on your DeSoto that really pulls me in. Especially the roof rack. Remove that and it would be an entirely different car visually. Was it a factory option,or just something that got put on commercial vehicles like taxi's?

DonaldSmith Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 The roof rack was standard with the Suburbans. Part of the haul-em-to-the-hotel equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAKOTA169 Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 You two should bring your cars to Kim's on Tuesday nights (Long Lake and Livernoise). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaine Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Cars are looking good Gents! I'm liking the Desoto's roof rack and "bomber" style hints here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
