Well there are two problems with that suggestion: 1. This site does NOT like .jpegs. It only likes .jpgs, if you are unloading 2. I think that Sotheby's doesn't like allowing links to their full size photos, just the small ones like this one: Edited by 56D500boy 2022-03-07 11:13 PM | ||

You need to move the cursor on the image, click on the full size format and then save. Same process for the each picture. Not a quick procedure. Check your email. | ||

Expert Posts: 1889 | . Interesting fact: Firedome Glamour Group #7: Wheel Covers Bumper Guard Package (Front and Rear Bumper Guards) Fender Ornaments Roof Molding Package #2 This car has equipped with Front Fender Ornaments that included in the Glamour Group No. 7; Although the space below GG (Glamour Group) on the cowl tag is empty; But BG 6 (Bumper Guards) and RM 2 (Roof Moldings) are present; So, the sign on the cowl tag should be GG7, while BG and RM should be empty; Looks like the Fender Ornaments option were added by owner later; Originally this car has not Glamour Group from the factory… (58 Firedome Glamour Groups.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 58 Firedome Glamour Groups.jpg (14KB - 92 downloads) | ||

Location: The Mile High City | Hi, Fellas: Thanks for all the help and advice. Igor, I got your email. I think it may be a browser problem on my end. I have Chrome and Edge. I tried both with similar results. I may have to just download Firefox and follow Don's instructions.

Elite Veteran Posts: 625 Location: Lubbock, TX | High bid of $35k at Mecum last week. Hard to tell if that was legitimate bidding or shill. Mecum is beginning to get more brazen with their shill bidding to just shy of reserves hoping for a whale. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 7206 Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | The parking lights on the 58 DeSoto ..... what were they thinking when they stuck those tiny round bezels down there??? The 57s had such nicely integrated parking lights in the grille bar, but the 58s were an after thought. They could have at least shaped the bezels on the 58 versions to fit nicely in the bottom corners instead of those round bezels. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 649 Location: Finland | So beautiful and so much money spent on paint and trim. I would really be careful with this one..it sure looks like floors, firewall and trunk floor could be really rusty. The rust above radio and clock is quite a shocker..how could this have been left undone.. | ||
