| It was originally an Arizona car, the first owner was a pilot at Luke AFB...the stickers were still on the windshield when I bought it. |

Location: NY & VT | Gorgeous, always liked the white/gold version the best. I'm told those wheel covers are a real bear to find in good shape or restore.
About 15 yrs ago I was offered by a seller in Indiana yellow & white FireSweep 2dr with gold Adventurer caps and it looked really sharp with them!
Beautiful job, you can't rush these things! |

| Thanks for all the kind words! My Dad was a Chrysler Engineering interior design leader from 1957-1974...I also worked for Engineering for 35 years, most recently on the Viper Team for twenty years. We all love our Chrysler products, from old to new! |

Absolute stunner! This is hands down the most beautiful body style DeSoto ever made (imho). These coupes are just so dynamic.
Awesome job on the restoration. While Iām a ā300ā guy myself, all the gingerbread on the DeSoto makes for a prettier package. Love it! |
