Re: [FWDLK] 1959 DeSoto Seville?

[Terry & Andree Hoeman <tehoema@MEGAVISION.COM>]

Well at least you got me to enter Desotoland.

Been a Desoto driver again since Friday when I got the 48 Suburban out of
storage.  Boy its neat to have it going again for a while.  Still just
barely has 16,000 miles on it even with the weekends foolishness.  Had it
since Easter of 83 so time to play again.

Its actually running stronger than I remembered it did.  For a nine
passenger vehicle with a flathead six the expectations aren't too high
actually!!!
