1947 Dodge Desoto

[uncleaud]

I'm going tomorrow to look at a 47 Desoto. If I'm not mistaken they are the same over all package of Chrysler as the others of that era are. Are there any unique attributes that I should be aware of or look for? I sold my Saratoga last fall and have missed it ever since. Hope this may help fill the old mopar void I feel in the garage. Thanks

It should be very similar to your Saratoga. Of course you’re losing two cylinders and some horsepower but overall it should feel familiar to you. Good luck and post pics. I’m going to look at a 49 DeSoto tomorrow morning. My Coronet needs a friend lol.

Neat thing about being a MoPar fan, you've already experienced one with your Chrysler, so going to look over another vehicle in the same family shouldn't give you any surprises.  You already know what to look out for since the cars are so similar.

DeSoto is like the others with a few designer cues changed here and there, they are fewer in number than the sister cars.
