Have you tried Andy Bernbaums........www.oldmoparts.com ......also Steele Rubber , even tho my experience with them is not good, others swear by them, me, I swore at them........lol..........have you tried to compare what you need with what similar year Dodge and Plymouth use and obviously Chrysler as well.......you may find something that whilst is not an exact replacement may indeed do the job or fit...........also I'd suggest being a bit more specific as "weatherstripping" could mean that which goes around the doors to seal them or that which the front/rear windows fit into.......not trying to be pedantic just trying to help...........BTW....Welcome Aboard from Oz.......Andy Douglas

Steele is expensive but I feelthat their rubber products are probably the best out there.

 

Also remember that the Desoto line is not a real popular line to reproduce individual rubber weather stripping.  Again the Ford Chevy line-up had more cars so these companies will reproduce where they can make a profit and where there is a mass of car owners, basic supply and demand issue.

 

Next question are you a member of the Natioanl desoto club, I would suggest that you join the club. They have model coordinators and if you contact the 51 model coordinator they might beable to answer your question.

 

I own a 39 desoto and even have a harder time getting parts for my car because of the small number or cars that were produced in 1939.

 

Where do you live it is not indicated on your profile.

 

I live near Philadelphia, PA

Turlock swap meet is Jan 25th and 26th. If you haven't gone before, you should go. It's massive and you never know what you will find. Even if you don't find anything you need there, you may make a contact that has info or parts.
