Location: The Mile High City | I wonder if her car came from that mid-west auction of a big De Soto collection a few years ago? | ||

Expert Posts: 1488 Location: New Castle PA | Wow. That actually brought a tear to my eyes. 2 of my 3 children appreciate my '57s and even used them in their weddings. The 3rd one didn't want anything do do with them. Great to see a young person so in love with her car, and it's a beauty! | ||

Location: The Mile High City | I took very slight umbridge to her "art deco" reference - clearly midmod! I can forgive a seventeen-year-old such trivial concerns.
I thought that was from the Ohio auction! Cool stuff. | ||

Member Posts: 43 | I also found this quite encouraging, if not for the fact that it confirms that I am not the only 20 something, young blood who loves these finned beauties... also in Ohio no less. My father also gave me a love for the old Mopars and I also got my Dodge from an Ohio barn find (the way I got to buy it was some considerably different circumstances however. ) She also has an appropriate love for the best, matching era of music I may add.

Expert Posts: 3155 Location: NY & VT | Cool '57 Dodge!... my Grampy's '57 four door hardtop was the car that got me into Forward Looks. | ||

Expert Posts: 3155 Location: NY & VT | Oh it's Murray's daughter? He's been a well known Mopar part vendor for years, and clearly he's a super Dad as well!! | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 403 Location: California | Beautiful car and great story! The 1957 and 58 DeSotos are my favorite years for DeSoto and I especially like the 4 dr hardtop. That’s one of my must have Forward Look vehicles. Sadly they seldom surface in decent shape. | ||
