DeSoto was part of the Chrysler Corporation and in period this model was put forth as being a distinguished design with the new for 1941 “Rocket” body and “the year’s most important development…Fluid Drive with Simplimatic transmission.” It also drew positive reviews for its flush-mounted front and rear lights, and its forward thinking deign that was described as “longer, lower and wider with room for six inside and huge luggage locker in the rear.”

This nicely presented DeSoto was restored about 10 years ago by the previous owner and continues to present very well. It features good paint and chrome trim with only slight signs of wear. It’s powered by a straight six-cylinder engine mated to the optional two-speed Fluid Drive with Simplimatic transmission. This cars interior is well-finished with proper seat covers and carpets, which fit the car as new. There is also great Art Deco-inspired styling with inlays in the wood trim throughout and even the door handles and window cranks exhibit this style. The dash and gauges are finished to a high standard showing very well and featuring a dash mounted clock, AM radio, and Mopar Deluxe floor-mounted heater. This car has been with its current caretakers for over six years.
