How long do they keep "parts around the shop?" The split
flat windshield, rear window, rear fenders, taillights and doors look like 1951
or 1952 Dodge. Note the large triangle windwings with the knurled
retainers and the location of the inside door handles and window
cranks.
The Warren Ave. plant was closed to DeSoto in the summer of
1958 and used for the following year's Imperials. DeSotos were built on
the Chrysler line.
Did you see the additional seller comments:
Unfortunately, the engineer who designed this vehicle lives here in
Sarasota is elderly and has a little dementia.
I think the seller has a LOT of denentia! DeSota
indeed!

Subject: [FWDLK] custom 57 desoto?
Has anyone else seen this? As the ad itself
says, I am very dubious of the car's authenticity. But since we have
several former Mopar plant employees on the list, maybe somebody can back up
the veracity of this sort of thing happening. Did the plant employees
seriously think DeSoto wouldn't be cut just over a concept car put together by
employees using cafeteria chairs for parts?
