Hudsy Wudsy Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I came across this '36 Desoto long wheelbase sedan on Craigslist for Houston TX today and thought I should post it here for someone. I'll post it on the "Desoto" site, too, but I figure there's more traffic here. At $600, the car is dirt cheap. The owner didn't even make mention of the long wheelbase, so if the seats missing, he may not even know how unusual it is. I'd be curious to know whether the jump seats are still there. http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/4553113983.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudsy Wudsy Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 I'm almost glad that it's so far away. It keeps me from contemplating it seriously. '33, did what exactly did a "Traveller" have in lieu of jump seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1933Mopar Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 You know my book doesnt say too much about the seats..but i did re-read the production # and I think 460 includes the Traveller production..plus they made about 2900 taxi cabs for NYC..needless to say this is a real deal super find..doing the interior would be the hardest part i think anyway..benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 I wonder if one of you guys might explain something to me...I've never quite understood why some '36 Desoto coupes and sedans have two piece windshields (like Chryslers) and others have one piece ones. I'm not talking about open cars, just sedans and coupes. A Google Image search shows both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudsy Wudsy Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks, Keiser, I didn't realize that they offered two models in the Airstream line. Were there any other appreciable differences, or was it mostly a matter of trim level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
