This amazing Desoto was in great shape. The only thing missing was the hood. The chrome and stainless on the car was in great shape and even the original glass taillights were complete. Look at that visor, that must have been installed back in the 50's
If the owner doesn't want to part with it....then why not get it out the field and protect from the elements until he decides what to do it....such a shame to leave a classic like this to rust away like that ...such a shame.
Don't be to hard on the old guy, a few years back I sold a 47 Dodge street rod project that I couldn't finish, to a man that "said" he was going to finish it and show it, I have never seen the car again!!!!! now I wish I would have kept it, at least I would know it was not striped of parts and scraped
something about those old guys and their junk.. I'd bet he'd trade the car to his nearest neighbor straight across for a lawnmower though..... yet selling it to a good home is just out of the question.
