4-Ever DeSoto
New Member
Greetings from Branson, MO.
I have been a DeSoto "nut" since dad was a DeSoto-Plymouth dealer in Beaverton, MI beginning in 1946 through the 1961 models and after the demise of DeSoto, he gained the Chrysler, Dodge, and Dodge truck lines. The dealership closed in 1981 after his passing. Dad's favorite car was always the DeSoto and I guess I just followed in his footsteps. My favorite DeSoto is the 1960 Fireflite 2 door HT. I have tried obtaining one the last couple of years but could never find the right one and at my age I couldn't do a project car. So, I wound up with a '59 Firedome 2 door hardtop in excellent condition that I didn't have to do anything to except drive and maintain it. The only notable option the car has are swivel seats. The rest is pretty much the standard stuff like Torqueflite, PS and PB, radio, heater, etc. It does have wire wheels but I did keep the factory wheel covers.
I hope to be of some value to this website and look forward to contributing what I can to help others.
I do have another MoPar but it's a 2011 Challenger converted to a 1971 'cuda convertible and is my daily driver.
Best MoPar regards,
Fred
