Ok, so I apologize if this has been posted numerous time already but after picking up this 54 Desoto Firedome last week I was digging around the web and found this photo so I saved it I'm not sure what i'm going to do with this Desoto yet?? It's mostly complete less the grill anyone looking for a desoto??
it would be so hard to just pull that motor out of that nice car. BUT I WOULD!!! got an A needing a HEMI!! nice grab
Your in SLC and everybody knows Hemis belong on the salt. Worlds fastest DeSoto powered DeSoto sounds good to me.
That is some nice vintage *** on that motor. Looks like she might be enjoying that just a little too much. Probably a little more horsepower than is necessary for the job, but what the hell, fire it up.
I was curious about where the shifter was? I think I saw a girl in a green Mitsu 3000 in the same position but I couldnt see the motor in that car.. lol JK That pic is awesome
Nice car. Heck if you were closer... Seriously, nice car, unique style, fairly rare, and hemi powered? What would any of us do? I would already have it half torn apart by the time you posted! Diamond in the Rough.
What year Merc Grill you thinking? the 49 merc grill would look awseome! I have a couple extra 51 F1 grills I could put in there with some extra teeth but I dont think it would even be close to fitting or look good.
from the little bit of research I have done it looks like the desoto's had a different grill every yr 53, 54, 55. ?? 54 & 55 being real similar ? does anyone know if the 55 Desoto grill will fit and look ok in the 54? thanks J
