    Does look nice, always thought of Desoto as a Chrylsler Corp Mercury but just not as cool. Seems to be in very good mechanical condition and the upgrade to 4 whl disc brakes is a welcome mod. Big negative I see is the rust is coming back thru the bondo - could be a little, could be a lot. Get out the magnet.

    I seen this exact car at Hershey a long time ago (prolly 2009-2010) and it was/is pretty nice. I remember the owner was from Maryland at the time. This would be a great catch for someone.....

    Son of a gun. We lived in Maryland (Annapolis area) until Dec 2014 and went to many many car events in MD and PA including those at Hershey and Carlisle. Never saw this Desoto until it showed up on this forum on Monday.
