Absolutely Beautiful..........New cars wish they had a quarter of the class that thing has. Thanks '68

Beautiful DeSoto. Here's the story on it, and how it's probably the only fuel injected one left in existence:

Love it. The tag on the rears my original hometown.

Gorgeous! Why isn't the top down? If I owned that car, I'd never have it up.

Same reason there is no tag on the car and the owner has it bought in and picked up on a rollback, it's his trophy, not his car!

WOW that is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

That car is probably worth an easy half million. Not many converts made that year and even fewer Adventurer and as stated above - fuel injected. Just be glad the owner allows it to come out in public to be seen. What a rare beauty. When you look at the styling you can see why Chrysler led the styling wars of the 50's. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful car. It's too bad it's a trailer queen though. IMO cars like that, hell any car, should be driven. Heck take it off the flatbed a few blocks away and at least drive it into the show.

Prolly doesn't wanna bird to **** in it?

Love the De Sotos from the 50s. If I had this one I probably wouldn't drive it too much either. It's really a museum piece. That said, it's nice to see someone bring cars like this out in public and actually drive them a little bit.

I know someone with a pristine fuelie '57 Chev convertible that never has had the top down either, for fear of introducing wrinkles to the roof.

This Car Even As Big And Heavy As It Was Would Run At 140 MPH On A Closed Track! That Engine Was Right Around 340 Cubes And Put Out 340 Horses...One Horsepower Per Cubic Inch! Awesome Mopar Power!

Love the Desoto's!! Thanks for posting!! I'm actually looking to buy a '54 with a first gen Hemi if anybody has a lead on a restored piece. Thought I had one landed a year ago but it got away.
