Very nice looking Desoto. Love the spotlights, louvered hood is nice, rear skirts, nice chrome and brass accents under the hood, even the gold flake finish on the roof is kinda neat looking. The only thing I'd change is that steering whee and the hood ornamentl, which look out of place.

That's a cool car, and priced right. It needs about a weekend's worth of work to un-goof it. That steering wheel has got to go!!

Out of all FL cars the 55/56 Desotos appeal the least to me, they are too european looking, but this one looks kinda nice.

Okay, I should have checked out the other pictures first... Generic gauges and a billet steering wheel?! WTH? What is going on in the heads of people that they buy an old car and then try to turn it into a new one? I'll never get it.
