1947 DeSoto Custom

1947 DeSoto

This car is used and is restorable. It has been stored in a dirt floor garage for over 43 years. The engine still turns freely. It is mostly complete.
This barn find is all original and was owned by the same family since new. It has almost all of it's original parts. It is only missing driver side rocker trim, exterior driver door lock, hood ornament, and one hub cap. I found this project in a dirt floor garage where it stayed for over 40 years.
