Designed by the legendary Virgil Exner in 1955, the 'Forward Look' design of the De Soto with a snappy two-tone paint job and a list of features that would make any automaker proud. From it's inception in 1928 De Soto had always built cars that were distinguishable from their similar Chrysler cousins. The DeSoto was arguably always more exciting and sportier looking than any of the standard Ford's and Chevrolet's as the model was graced with bright backswept fender ornaments which encompassed the headlights and large chrome lined color sweeps which extended the length of the car with even more trim affixed to the lower rocker panels.

This is one very rare and highly desirable and collectible unabused example of one of the most outstanding designs of the late fifties, these high quality and extraordinarily unique cars were built to be able to complete long distances both quickly, powered by Chrysler's large 325 cid V8 engine matched to the legendary Torqueflite automatic transmission, and in supreme luxury for the ultimate drive and in the utmost of room and comfort, of any all American luxury car!

This is therefore one very desirable and collectible car for any classic American car collector or obviously any De Soto or Chrysler enthusiast to add to his collection and a sure-fire investment that's sure to appreciate over the years for any classic American car collector!
