[Leif in Calif]

Very long text in ad, so check link for the full description. Assuming the wood really is OK, this could be a fair deal.

Recent work includes: All new brakes including wheel cylinders, shoes, flex lines, master cylinder, wheel seals, rear axle seals, steering components rebuilt. Engine and drive train is all stock except the electrical system changed over to 12 volt negative-ground, the addition of an alternator, and electronic ignition (pertronics that fits under the stock distributor cap, so it looks stock). The oil pan was removed and cleaned out, valves adjusted, good compression on all 6 cylinders, runs and idles wonderfully. The wooden wheels were all stripped down and refinished with linseed oil last year. 5 tires are fairly new and all have 80-90% or better tread. email: c7d9620203103e06ac41166d0b8b409e@sale.craigslist.org

Of the three recent "not mine" postings, the Marmon, the Hudson and this Desoto, only the Desoto might keep my neighbors from complaining too much if I came home with it on a trailer, provided I snuck in after dark and rolled it into the shop quickly.

There is no wood in these Chrysler bodies other than the battery access panel and perhaps an attaching strip for trim in the hinge pillars.  Oh, and some roof slats perhaps. 

But that is an all steel construction body.

From the peephole look we get of this car I’d say this is a good deal. The six cylinder engine should be easier to find parts for if needed.

Doesnt look too bad, If there is no wood I suppose the asking price would more than make the difference between buying a similar sedan needing woodwork done in the 6k-8k range. To me body work and paint are the easy part, the interior is a different story.

The only wood in my 30 is the roof bows, interior floor boards, and some trim. Of course the furniture but I don't count that. Everything else is metal. I forgot the wheels but I don't know if that counts our not.
