At the Auction
Note: Auction has ended!
This classic 1947 Desoto De Luxe is in remarkable condition. And running and starting without any problems! The previous owner has stored the car inside all these years. It just needs a new home. All matching numbers and all original. The engine is original too, with matching numbers. The previous owner has done some work on it to improve reliability: He opened the engine, checked it and upgraded to modern standard gas.
The paint color is the original paint color. No Rust and solid as a rock. That beautiful car is 99% complete, just a couple of chrome trim pieces missing. As we can see, upholstery and door panels are also in great shape. All it may need (depending on your wishes) may be carpet and a new headliner.
