"The final decision to discontinue DeSoto was announced on November 30,
1960, just forty-seven days after the 1961 models were introduced


At the time, Chrysler warehouses contained several million dollars in 1961
DeSoto parts, so the company ramped up production in order to use up the
stock."

DeSotos - There Were Beasts ~ RHF


Not sure which kind of beast you were referring to but they ran some
big hemi motors in those beastly De Soto cars. The DeSoto brand was
killed for several reasons, one of which it was not easily
distinguished from Dodge and Plymouth in consumers eyes.

I've had the opportunity to drive a variety of older Chrysler products
including a 1936 Chrysler Airflow, 1941 Plymouth and a 1949 Dodge but
not a DeSoto.

Hey Roadie,
I own a 1940 Chrysler Royal coupe and used to own a 1949 Chrysler
Windsor. Both with Fluid Drive. Would love to get a 46-48 DeSoto,
beautiful waterfall grill!
