Andydodge Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Welcome Aboard from Oz.........I like the DeSoto.....don't think I've ever seen a pic of one, certainly never seen one in the flesh as all mopars post war were 4dr sedans based essentially on the Plymouth 4 dr body shell with variations of the Plymouth, Dodge or DeSoto grilles and body moldings etc and for a few years in the mid/late 50's some Utes and a few wagons.......hardtops just didn't arrive..........nice car..........andyd Quote
ddesjard Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Beautiful ride. I'm not a huge fan of hardtops or two-doors (just personal taste), but this one might have just won me over! Quote
Silverdome Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Classy, me likey. And Welcome to the forum. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 I love the first MoPar hardtops..I like your ride! Quote
Mike36 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 Very sharp Desoto ! Dad had a ‘50 when I was a kid, but wasn’t the hard top. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) This is it's big brother...a 1950 NewYorker Newport 8 cylinder hardtop...same body as the good looking DeSoto! Convertible "X" member frame.... not sure if the DeSoto uses the convert "X" frame though... Edited June 21, 2019 by Dodgeb4ya Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Nice car. I see a little period spiffing up with the lakes pipes and dummy teardrop spots. Are the pipes connected? Welcome to the forum.Back in the 70s I had a 51 DeSoto hardtop with the factory a/c unit in the trunk and clear plastic vent tubes in the package tray. Edited June 21, 2019 by BobT-47P15 Quote
