1948 DeSoto Coupe Custom Description

With all the updates, she drives like a new car, with lots of torque from the 331 Hemi. I have a lot of receipts of all the modern upgrades.

It would cost $100,000 to replicate this one.

Stand out in the crowd At Half The Price, while having all the modern conveniences of: Power disc brakes, power windows, Power rack & Pinion steering, Power windows, Air Conditioning, Cruise Control, tilt steering wheel, Automatic overdrive, coil over front end, custom front seat...

Rear fenders have had the fender seam welded closed to smooth her out.

Ghost flames really pop in direct sun light but are still classy.

In fact, she won Class Act at Good Guys last year.

Priced to sell, I'm reducing my stable of cars and downsizing.

No trades and seller is responsible for transportation.

Here's a few of the upgrades she's gone through, you'll notice all quality name brand components have been used.
