Features Alllllll the Longroofs.....Let's see 'em boys

Here you go, another long and high roof. My DeSoto front was damaged, but exactly the same to look at as my Dodge front, except the badges and emblems of course.

 

This is how my -64 Valiant look then i get home at May 2012. I shave it and lowered it so much i could, its my dailydriver.


Now it looks like this.




I have it in my garage now, for some updates. A 318 and 904 is in the plans. In the background you can see my other car, a 1962 Cadillac vert.

 

One of the guys in my local car club has this '58 Edsel Villager. I never was into wagons, but for some reason I like this thing. I think it would look killer with one of those old aluminum tube roof racks, a heavy silver flaked roof, and a set of moon caps. Maybe do the body spear the same silver flake as the roof too. It hasn't moved in a year. We gotta pull the engine to change a freeze plug. Too many projects ahead of it right now.

 

That's a nice looking Valiant...I had a same year two door many years ago...economical and dependable...

I can't wait to join this thread with my '55 Plymouth longroof... Give me some time to get it home and I'll get some pics.

 

I have a thing for those too. They look crazy good layed out

 

Yeah mine started with Dodge Trucks and when i found out about a DeSoto Panel Truck, i went on the hunt for one, after 15 years of searching, i stumbled across this one i have now.

 

Cool!

How hard is it to find a tailgate and the badges off of the nose of one of these?

Is the dash any different from a Dodge?

And a few more of mine for the hell of it if anyone knows any history on this I'd sure like to know about it. It was a two tone navy blue,royal metallic blue with custom navy blue & white upholstery it sat in quartzite az so it could have been a central, northern az or cali car?

Everything is exactly the same between a Dodge, Fargo and DeSoto from grille gauges, the lot. The only difference of course is the emblems, that is it. I sent you a PM

 

Man that second shot with the nose in the air presents some interesting Photoshop possibilities. Hmmmm
