neil morse Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Wow! That's a stunning vehicle at an attractive price. Engine compartment detailing is particularly nice. I'm surprised it hasn't sold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deac Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Another stunning car. I am becoming a DeSoto fan because we've a few these posted but this is one of the best. Though is one is a 4 door it really doesn't bother me. But I do wonder what the market is on these. Nonetheless it's very cool car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I have to believe the fact it's a 4-door is the only thing holding it back. If it were a 2-door, however, it would certainly be priced higher... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 It might help if the interior was more original looking and the stained headliner and windlace were replaced. Colors are subjective and everyone has their own preferences but with so many different vibrant 2 & 3-tones available in 1955 maybe to some people a 2-tone bronze & black isn't the best choice. These weren't the most popular things in 1955 either as DeSoto finished in 13th place in industry sales. It's a nice looking car but $21,500 is a lot of money for a 4-door sedan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avgwarhawk Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Personally I think $21,500.00 is right on the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
