Gearheadengineer Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I know nothing about these. Looks nice in and out although I suspect the upholstery is not original style or materials. Pretty car. More pics in ad. https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/cto/d/wallkill-1938-desoto-coupe/7582292211.html This car is beautiful-paperwork dating back to the 1950's-12 volt conversion-I am not going to go into detail here-Serious parties all you need to do is leave a phone number-not interested in any trades or offers Edited January 25, 2023 by Gearheadengineer Added link to ad (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deac Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I am no De Soto guy but I tend to doubt you will find very many in this condition. Pretty car. In the description it refers to more photos in the ad; I don't see a link for the ad.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Jake Moran Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Obviously the 6 cylinder has been modified for the induction, which looks pretty cool actually but draws the eye away from other original features. The interior fabric is likely incorrect, should be fabric not vinyl. Not sure about the rumble seat original material, may have been leather but not sure. The seller seems a bit standoff ish. OK, you have a nice car, but you don't want to have a conversation with a prospective buyer that might drop $25 large? I checked this post out because the 37-38 DeSotos can be nice cars but I much prefer them actually as 4 door sedans, longer, wider appearing. Chrysler was fairly good at catching on to the Art Deco streamlining despite being run by engineers. But this particular body style was common to everyone, so why get a DeSoto version of it? Chevy, Buick, Ford, everybody had one. A nice car but not my preferred body style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Seller has posted here before, I believe based on garage art. Not this car but a couple Lincolns. Some cool posters. Don Rickles in a serious role?? 🤔😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Clock, heater, radio and overdrive make it a shame that it's twelve volt. That's so pointless! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Come to think of it, that particular overdrive is all mechanical and doesn't have an electric element to it, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb6673 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I just purchased a 1941 Cadillac coupe in that condition yesterday for $20,000 if that helps put this asking price in perspective 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
