  • @Rich8951 In 1952 this was a hot car. Technology has changed since then.

  • DOME = HEMI.

  • DeSoto was an AWESOME CAR. Too bad Chrysler won't bring it back. ( and Plymouth and Imperial too).

  • @Rich8951 160 Horsepower was A LOT in 1952 . For comparision, in 1952, Ford's V-8 put out only 110 HP. Chevy didn't have a V-8 at all. Top HP of it's Six: only 90 HP. Oldsmobile,Desoto's closest competitor, only put out 145 HP on it's 88, and 160 hp (matching the DeSoto) on the Super 88. BUT the Super 88 's output came from 303 cubic inches.(5.0 liters). DeSoto's Hemi matched it from only 276 cubes. It even matched Cadillac's HP that year. DeSoto's Fire Dome Hemi was a real HOT ROD  in 1952 !!!

  • Went to a Chrylser dealership and asked (jokingly) if they had one of these DeSotos in stock. The "young" salesperson asked me.."what's a DeSote.?" No lineage taught to these guys.

  • A V-8 engine with ONLY 160 HP? You've got to be kidding!

    Looks like a college professors car. Lackluster styling.

    Guess that's why they went bust over 50 years ago!

  • Turning the steering wheel is as easy as dialing a phone! Wow!!!

  • The mighty DE SOTO FIRE DOME HEMI V-8 !!!

  • Its got a factory hood scoop... thats awesome.

  • DeSOTO : A now discontinued division of the Chrysler Corporation 1928-1961.
