Following upon Virgil Exner's Ghia-bodied Adventurer show cars of the earlier '50s,
DeSoto raised eyebrows by unveiling the first of five production Adventurer coupes
in February 1956. With the Exner finned movement beginning to flex its wings,
the gold-anodized Adventurer boasted a Hemi with fully 120 more horses than '55.
If one Carter four-barrel was good, then TWO was even better!

 

I took this pic in a pub at Gold Bridge British Columbia. Gold Bridge is a gold town in the mountians of B.C I can just imagine these two guys doing the mountian roads in thier V8 roadster
