What Happened To DeSoto

[73Coupe]

I recall the article that ran in HCC a while back (2011, dang) that compared a '56 DeSoto against a Fuel-injected '57 Bel Air. HCC got some flak from its Bowtie-loyalist subscribers about that...

just wanted to see how it fit , did it while it was on the trailer to transport it . it was sitting in the street in front of the shop . still looking for direction , a 331 chrysler is not much longer or and less width or this 301 windsor poly with 55 331 hemi heads and a blower

I had an Austin A40 four-door sedan once upon a time, that I wanted to build a street rod out of. The doors on the four-door model are freakin' tiny.
