PD CD iSH WIKIPEDIA SEZhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeSoto_%28automobile%29 "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." 1961 DESOTO JPEG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DeSoto1961.jpg LAMONT- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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! -- "What do you mean there's no movie?" |
DESOTO AUTO DEMISE
Yep, I like those DeSoto waterfall grills too, I always have.Nowadays,
all of the cars look exactly just like each other cars, they SUCK! When I was in the Army at Scott Air Force Base,Illinois in 1963, I bought a 1950 Dodge four door car, six cylinder with fluid drive transmission, for $75.00 (that's what I said, for $75.00,,, seventy five dollars) at a used car dealership in Saint Louis.The car dealer guy said somebody else wants to buy the car for $95.00.I told him, Well, let him buy the car then, seventy five dollars is all I have.I bought the car and I started driving West on I-44 to Pacific,Missouri (about eight miles South of Pacific was our SL 60, Charley Battery, Nike Nuclear Missiles site) and to SL 60. Going up those long grades on I-44, the car engine started wheezing and steaming.I pulled over and I looked.Someone had ran that car over something that had knocked a hole in the bottom of the radiator (right in the middle) and plugged the hole with a piece of wood.I got ahold of some water and I made it back to SL 60.I took the radiator off and a guy gave me a ride to Saint Louis to get the radiator repaired.I can still hear those old narrow high center of gravity tires right now squealing around and up and down those hills and curves between Pacific and SL 60. By the way, looka here.I got an email today from that married Irish woman (married to that Irish guy) in Bognor Regis,England.She has a new company car to drive.Fiat Grande Punto 1400.(the 1400 stands for 1.4 liter engine) She said it has an automatic transmission and a lot of other nice features.Her previous company car was a 2007 Vauxhall Astra Estate car with a manual shift transmission, she hated that Vauxhall car.She loves her new Fiat car. www.devilfinder.com Fiat Grande Punto 1400 cuhulin |

Pacific, Missouri Nike Site
wrote in message ... www.devilfinder.com Nike Missile Batterys in Illinois and Missouri If you will click on the Waymarking site there and scroll down to Pacific,Missouri About six something years ago when I was surfing the internet, I saw where a young lady in Pacific,Missouri was talking about an All Things Wise and Wonderful sweater somebody gave her for Christmas.(James Herriot's books, she is a big fan of Herriot.Herriot was a pen name he used, he passed away years ago) Anyway, I emailed her and I asked her what has become of that old Nike site near Pacific.She said she wasen't sure, but she thinks it turned into an edcuation center.I reckon she is right, It is nowadays Meremac elementary school and they park some school buses there. cuhulin Rite cheer http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM1R1T Google did it Lamont http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM1R1T |
