MarcDeSoto Posted January 10, 2023 Report Posted January 10, 2023 What you have is a Canadian Kingsway export Dodge made from mostly Plymouth parts. I believe Kingsways were also exported to Oz. Exports sent to South America were called DeSoto Diplomats with a body also based on the Plymouth. Quote
