My new desoto

Just traded my bagged 69 C10 for this




What do you guys think here is the truck I traded

 

Well, they are both cool, but, I don't like the headlights leaning back like that.
But, otherwise, nice.

 

The headlights are vw they arent actually leaning back they have a glass over them the headlights are actually straight.

 

Ok, but, I still don't like 'em. The VW lights look good on VW's, but, I think that car would look better with some '56 Olds lights grafted in. You know, something with a peek on the top. Or, maybe Jag lights of the same style. I think mid '70s Jags had them like that.

It is nice and low though. That make's it cool.

 

i don't like the head lights either. the rest looks cool.

 

Sweet dude, glad you like it...

 

Aside from the headlights, It looks like a nice ride.

 

Everybody's got C10s. I like the oddballs. Now, a new name for the car or perhaps a new profession? I LIKE IT!!!

 

1 low 69
The headlights are cool, you know it!
They just don't understand old air coolers...
Newer Porsche tilt back lights are also used on a few cars I have seen, very different De Soto, like it a lot..
Keep it coming...

 

thats a cool desoto and it has a merc grille

 

Lol at the Merc grille I just traded for the grille cause I couldnt afford the Merc to go with it

 

You didn't trade any truck. Anybody can see that you sold a lot of cosmetic products to get that.

 

Do you guys think it needs skirts and a visor?

 

Yes, if you're doing it Bomba style.

But, ya GOTTA fix those headlights.

 

I like the DeSoto ... headlights and all. It's a '51 or '52, isn't it? So is it six or eight cylinder?

 

It's a '53. I like it, but I used to drive a '54, so I'm partial to 'em.

 

Mary Kay ?????

 

I like it........................It would look better, with two new front fenders, and some stock style headlights.................

 

good trade, but those headlights are ugly.
desotos rock!

 

So this is what Mary Kay gives her
Hot Rod sales reps
quick tell Denise & Megan

 

I just sold a laid out Chevy truck just like that in December. I miss it. The Desoto is cool minus the headlights. Definitely a neo-traditional ride, but pretty cool nonetheless. Solid trade

 

I actually like the headlights.
I think its called Mary Kay because I think that is the color on the roof I think it is the actual pink they use on the Mary Kay Cadilacs

 

I like both, but I think you got a good trade there. Interesting headlight treatment on the DeSoto!

 

I dig it, headlights and all. Nice combo. Any lower and you'd need a periscope to drive it. Have fun with it.

I like it, lights and all

 

What I think is for various and different reasons both vehicles discussed in this thread are not germane to a website devoted to traditional rods and customs. Rocker panels dragging the ground and/or the crude application of inappropriate late model headlights do not a traditional custom make, nor do fuzzy dice and utility truck spotlights on a truck five years too new to make the year cutoff.

 

They are not late model headlights they are from 60's vw.

 

I could get into selling MaryKay if they started giving away chopped Mercs ha ha

 

heck, so could I.

 

Did you get Roses with that
