Beautiful restored DeSoto Sportsman ...but what year is it

'59

I have a 56 Wagon

Desoto production ended after 62. Most of the big fin cars were 57-59.

Those were cool rides. I'd 2nd the year posted, if not be only a year off. My uncle had a '57 I'd play in as a little kid wishing my folks had one...found those old finned mopars a standout even as a little ****. I'd point them out to my folks riding in the backseat as a knee-high.

I recently bought this 1960 Adventurer which was the last year of DeSoto production in Canada. I believe they made them for one more year in the US before they pulled the plug.

It was on Kijiji in Canada which is the equivalent of Craigslist in the US. The cars are out there and show up from time to time, you just have to look regularly and be ready to act fast when something nice comes up. The good cars that are fairly priced don't stay advertised for long.

Beautiful DeSoto. What’s under the hood on that? 361? 413?

 

[33 IMP]

U.S. version in 61 was almost identical car. Very parred down model lineup. Ribs on the trunk lid and a different front end. Wish I had a real one

383 2bbl which a previous owner had some custom chroming done to back in the 70’s. It runs excellent so I’m thinking that it might have been rebuilt somewhere along the way.

Thanks, I would have bet anything that it would have been a 361. Very nice.
