1961 Chrysler Desoto. Walk round, engine noise, wheelspin and drive by.

Just a few clips of my Sons 61 Desoto before we pull it to bits and do a mild custom job to it.
The car is totally rust free but has a stuffed engine, stuffed brakes and a non original interior.
Watch this space for updates as we go on.

@djkwillo

Hi Willo boy,

No it's not for sale. Now going through a major resto /custom program. Watch this Space!!!! Should be ready for Americana this year.

The reason cars suck now is because a car is now viewed as almost an appliance....like a refridgerator or a TV. Back then they were mobile pieces of "art"

@inkey2 ,

I totally agree. Most cars of today even look like damned refrigerators!!

I love cars from the 50s and 60s. This is when cars were designed with character and style. Real rolling works of arts. Today's cars just look like carbon copies of each other.

Despite that funky looking front end, I wouldn't mind owning one of these if the price was reasonable; either 2 or 4-door. There were no model names during the last model year for the make and only 911 two-door models were produced and 2,123 4-doors.

Excellent, not many left of these old Desotos...

Nice car!! Loved the drive by's...

you want to make this car handle like a dream?.....install an "ADDCO brand rear anti-sway bar" and put on 4 Michilin steel bealted radials. You would believe what a difference it would make. I had a 1962 chrysler newport, mechanically the same car, and it made a 1000% difference. The only catch is that you will have to re-bend the dual exhaust pipes over the anti-sway bar.
