Location: Branson, MO | Thanks guys,
I’ll post more pictures after I get the detailing done that I want to finish. Then I’ll probably post on Members Rides.

Location: The Centennial State | Random story for you, Fred: when I was in high school in the now-distant 1980's, there was a fella a few blocks away who had two or three '59 De Sotos out in front of his house. Once they get you, they really get you! |

Location: Branson, MO | Gosh Mike, to put it in perspective, I was in high school when the Forward Looks were introduced. So these cars were new then and Dad was a DeSoto-Plymouth dealer. My dream car has always been the 1960 Fireflite 2HT. After my stroke I sold my other '59 thinking my days were numbered regarding "fun" cars but fortunately recovered enough to want to enjoy another DeSoto. I was hell bent on getting a '60 but couldn't find the suitable combination. This '59 was available and I couldn't pass it up so I guess it was just meant to be. In fact I have two toys but one is my everyday driver. It's a 2011 Challenger converted to a 1971 Plymouth 'cuda convertible - one like I had when they were new - color and all.
