Location: Parts Unknown | Odd to see a NY'er with rear antennas. It seems most NY'er buyers opted the more conservative front fender mount. Maybe they were added in latter days since everyone began to see the 50's through the American Graffiti lens that all cars were teenager's cars down at the burger joint ? No fender or hood ornaments though .... interesting ..... Beautiful car. | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | Where else can a guy grow moss and lichen on his parked cars like in the lovely swamps of the PNW ? Truth be known, this can happen when you just run into the store to "pick up a few items". When you go in, it is sunny and nice, come back out and it is cold and wet and you are redefining the term "bumper crop" ! Edited by Doctor DeSoto 2013-06-22 11:16 AM | ||

Regular Posts: 76 Location: B.C. Canada | Yeah; The Desoto's were for sale a number of years back, but the old Fella had other cars, and got ripped off in one of the deals. Then it was, "they can rot in the Bush then Dammit." He has since passed away, so now the Son is trying to clean up the property. John | ||

There were over 690 thousand of them produced in '56 to only 85 thousand Studebaker's in '56 or 110 thousand DeSoto's in '56?" (I had to look up the production numbers and picked '56), that being I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR OPINION OF THE DODGE DAYTONA! And as my Uncle used to say, "Put that in your smoke and pipe it." | ||

FwdLk56 |

Location: Indiana | I totally and 100% agree! But the way I see it, I'll take a 90s "daily driver" ANY DAY over the CRAP built during the last decade or so. For one, I can actually fix them. I can't say that for the "new" CRAP. And especially over anything built during the "bailout era" - FORD INCLUDED, even though they like to "say" they didn't take bailout money. http://www.factcheck.org/2011/09/ford-motor-co-does-u-turn-on-bailo... Plus, no offense to you "440 dudes" (I seem to see them dropped into anything-and-everything MoPar), but this young whippersnapper actually WANTS his first engine rebuild to be geared for MPG, not for lb-ft or bhp. Get that under my belt, then we'll talk about rebuilding for lb-ft and bhp. My brother has me hooked on the Slant Six 225 - who knows, maybe I'll end up with one of those before a 90s rebuild, LOL. You have to admit, if you want something that looks "different", the Slant Six is in a class all by itself. Okay, right in there with the Sonoramic crossram. | ||
