greg g Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 Saw this pic on another site. It shows Stan Musial accepting the keys for a 49 DeSoto woodie from a St Louis dealer. Wonder how many were made and who made the bodies?we 1 Quote
bamfordsgarage Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 Is that script by the headlight actually there or a doctored photo? Quote

sidevalvepete Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 https://ebay.us/JpJzSs One of the dangers of browsing on this forum is the itch that starts to develop about what to do next......... Great that these old gems are still out there. Quote

Jerry and I are both well, he had a very mild Covid over Christmas but I emerged unscathed. Our long distance tours have mostly been in the ‘24 T speedster, but we had a great run several years ago to the PNW in his ‘50 Plymouth. I’ve got the Dodge up on stands these days for brake work and a steering box. 1 Quote
