Re: [FWDLK] Lookin 4 convertible 59 60 61 (2)

I'll second that.  "almost any condition" and "no rust" is a contradiction 
in terms, particularly with these cars, since Mopar always sold better in 
places more likely to cause cars to rust.  I figure if you can find one that 
has a good frame under it, you're doing pretty good.  Or if it's a unibody, 
if the bumpers haven't rotted off it yet.

I'd suggest watching Hemmings, eBay, and other vehicle markets, with the 
economy down you might be able to scoop up a bargain from someone with a bad 
mortgage to pay off or something.  Smaller auctions might be worth looking 
at, too.  But like he said it's not 1960 anymore, these cars are tough to 
find in any condition - heck when you're talking in some cases production 
numbers under 1000, they were hard to find when still relatively new.  In 
fact, DeSoto didn't offer a convertible for '60 or '61, so you're not going 
to find one of those at all.  Unless you happen on one someone made up, 
which has happened a couple times.

In any case, good luck, and be prepared to throw cash at someone.
