Birthplace of Rudy Vallee

"1936 Desoto Airstream. Body apart for restoration but I cannot finish. Bolts, parts labeled in jars shown. Have title. Motor & transmission shown bought years ago for car but does not turn by hand now. Reasonable offers considered. Message with any questions." https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/975637689516395 Definitely a pile of rusty pieces, but might be enough good parts to make it worthwhile. Strasburg is near the I66 and I81 intersection in the northern Shenandoah Valley.

The good Dr. deserves praise for his efforts. There could be some decent parts to harvest and the worst the owner can say is "I'm going to restore them myself."

seems like a klot of charm for the money...

magnificent, and not yet a ruin!

Eye-catching, I expect.

really cool and far from hopeless!

One sweet thing about this car is that it's still running the splasher 8. It seems like every stepdown I see at the local shows is running a 6 with the Twin H setup. My 51 Commodore is about the last single carb stepdown I've seen in a while, and it's an original 8 converted to a 262.

A very good-looking example!

I always associate this color combo with 46-48 DeSotos - a Mopar thing, I guess.

Clarinda is the hometown of Glenn Miller

interesting about the LaSalle being built in the Cadillac plant. What really are the differences besides the badging and trim?

Good looking car at what appears to be a better price than most of its make, model, and body style

Coupe or Club Coupe?

What a bus!
