This would sure look great parked in the garage next to Melanie Harwood's Chrysler wagon.

Wow!  That's a stunning vehicle at an attractive price.  Engine compartment detailing is particularly nice.  I'm surprised it hasn't sold.

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.

[EmTee]

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...

[The 55er]

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.

Personally I think $21,500.00 is right on the money.

If I was smarter and had more money I would only buy cars like this!
