Expert Posts: 3069 Location: Scotland | Doctor DeSoto - 2010-03-18 12:40 AM I think that white car with the continental kit is a Hudson Jet. Similar in size to the Willys Aero. The Jet came with the kit as standard trim. Aren't those more like Willys tail lights?. | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | The Willys has an "almost fin" kick up on top of the rear quarter that the tail light forms the downward curve at the back. The Jet had a more flat-topped quarter with an oval-ish "button" tail light at the back-top corner, leaning slightly forward at the top. I am pretty sure the Jet came standard with the kit, whereas I have never seen an Aero with one. The Jet was kinda boxy like a Checker, only smaller. The Willys was somewhat shapely by comparison. | ||

Similar in size to the Willys Aero. The Jet came with the kit as standard trim. Aren't those more like Willys tail lights?. I agree with vedette on this one; the car certainly appears to be a Willys. The Hudson Jet had round taillights, and the continental kit was not a standard equipment item. The photo above shows a Willys with a continental kit. Edited by Centurion 2010-03-19 1:12 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 1363 Location: Apeldoorn, Netherlands | I think the car in the middle is a 1960 Chrysler Town & Country Station Wagon, Either a New Yorker or a Windsor. Too bad the rear quarter isn't visible.

That's a tease...could also be a 1961 since the tail lights/fins were identical. Just can't tell without seeing side trim or the extended +4 inch front quarter panels of the T&C. Does not look like there are rear handle assists and Can't see the step pads so its likely is a 6 passenger. For sure that's a 61/62 Olds wagon to the left. | ||

Well, mebbe the Cliv-o-nator is right ? I'd still argue it *could* be a Jet. They were both small cars like this, the Hudson being kinda blunt and boxy by comparison. As a kid, my friends and I all cultivated lawn mowing and yard clean up "accounts" with people around the area. My friend Scott had a lady down the highway that he mowed for that had a nicely kept original Aero in the garage. Her name was Mrs. Sims. Can't believe I can remember her name after almost 40 years ! Her car was an aqua metallic color with a white top. It was strangely small and unassuming when compared to other 50's cars around town. I wish I had paid closer attention to it now. I do remember it was pretty "sleek" for its diminutive size, with a light roof and pillar design when compared to say, as Nash Rambler or the Hudson Jet. Wonder what ever became of Mrs. Sims' car ? | ||

Meanwhile, I did some 'investigation' on eBay, which shows me to believe this is a DeSoto D-11, produced 1946-48. I don't know of any discriminating facts for that years. The rest of this PC can be seen by following the links (click on the image and then click on the following images to get an enlargement). I didn't think the sale price would be relevant, here. But since you've mentioned it..., and it's so amazing..., it sold for $255.00. And now that that's mentioned, I would very much like to know why! | ||

This was in the 50's/60's; PA may be done creating it, by now. | ||

Regular Posts: 89 | Good lord no, they are still "working on it"; they never stopped. Of course, in PennDOT parlance that means a 6 mile section of one lane traffic to allow for 100 feet of actual construction. Mark | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | Incidentally, I remember going with my Grandparents to a restaurant in Walnut Creek that was really Googie called The Rib Pit. It looked to be right out of these postcards. While down in S.F. for the NDC Nat's in '96 I drove through there looking for it ..... still there and looking just as I remembered it ! Still smelled exactly the same after almost 50 years !!!! Looked GOOD with the DeSoto parked out front ! The food was fantastic. | ||

Expert Posts: 2244 Location: Yorba Linda, Ca | Thanks Doc, and I did paint it red and white, alto it was that color when I bought it, so most likely came from the factory that way. Bought the car in 1960, replaced the 326 and powerflite with a 413 and a torqueflite, the car being a 4 door was a real "Sleeper". Gary | ||
