Rescued an old Desoto today

This old beauty have been sitting at this ladys place out in the woods snice she moved in in 1963 and who knows how long before that?
Had to give it some dignity so my neighbor and i went over grabed it and put in in his garden with the other yard art.
Any clue as to the year?

 

Good on ya'. Oughta be able to get that spit shined up and on the road by spring, right?

 

Top of what's left of the grill may give a clue.

 

1933

 

32 or 33. Look on google images. One year was chromed rad, and I thought the other year was painted shell. I think it's a 32 without looking it up.

 

Jabberwoki, I think about 1931 or 32. It was cool of you to save it so it can at least be a source of reflection and conversation. Pretty far gone for much more, though you could get osme general measurements, right?

I stand corrected. I was leaning toward '32 but hedged the wrong way. FDR & Eleanor had one.

 

I looked up a 32 and what a beautiful car it once was . I`m glad it`s still giving people pleasure now in the garden.
And no it won`t buff out.

 

Wow! Not what I expected to see when I opened the thread. Looks good there in the rocks!

 

At first I thought you found Hernando DeSoto who was buried in his armor in 1542.

 

Save the dignity of the DeSoto, don't put a SBC close to it.

 

That is some cool yard art.

 

Doesn't look like there's anything there to be saved, so it's good to see it resting in peace.

 

I've seen lots of guys on this board start with worse than that. No reason you shouldn't spend 5 years of your life and $100K fixing it up. Don't let the naysayers get you down. Never, ever give up. Eagle Spirit never dies.

 

Ran when parked!
