Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | That's good Jari, we cabnnot expect that everyone has good taste and appreciates the FL-cars
The DeSoto Diplomat '60 is for sure a very rare bird - even if I have seen that car before in pictures from FinLand - it is the only one I have ever seen |

Location: Perth Australia | And like all 60 dodge dart owners (I think), my eyes went straight to the grill looking for the holy grail
One thats not bent or broken
I didnt notice the desoto lettering at first
Those grills must just bend in the wind, so rare to see one thats not bent and twisted

Location: FIN land | This blue and white '60 Diplomat was customized in Finland between late seventies to mid eighties, it is a 4 door sedan with '59 Kingsway coupe roof, '60 Chrysler doors and quarterpanels are combination of '59 coupe and '60 sedan parts.
-A Very nice example of what can be done when there's enough will...there's a way.
(I personally find this kind of well performed modifications more appealing than "boring" restorations back to stock).

Oh. I did'nt know that. They got me
Now when I look the A-pillar vent window frame it looks weird. Like it has been modified from the sedan |

Location: FIN land | It may be criminal to even think about this but someone might say the older roof looks even better than the original one...??? -Original C-pillars and rear window are not the smoothest ones we´ve seen in FL:s. |
