Guest Classiccars Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Does anyone know, do the 1946-48 DeSoto Customs have a rear seat fold down arm rest? Also, do they have "toe boards"--the carpeted board underneath the back of the front seat that rear seat passengers can rest their feet on? -Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Desoto Joe Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 To my knowledge, the Desoto custom for those years did not have either of those 2 features. I have a 49 1/2 1st series(just like the 46-48) I also have a 46 Desoto Custom parts car. It does have a grab rope attached to the back of the front seats.

rcumba Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I have a '48 S-11 Custom and it has not drop down arm rest in the back. It is indented, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 The grab rope is for hanging your lap robe. Also known as a robe rail. A lap robe is a plaid wool blanket for covering your knees in an unheated car, to keep warm. They went out when good heaters became available.
