Is it me, or do the B & W shots add to the allure? This is a great thread!
I'm gonna replace my 48 DeSoto S11 rear leafs with a set of Posies. The down side would be shipping my old ones to Caifornia
The intent of my question was trying to figure out the necessity (?) of the panhard bar. Did anyone else question the factory use of it. My...
Here's the basic layout of our 48 DeSoto 4dr build: #1) It's a low $ traditional build for a couple in their 60's who want to build an old car...

Is there any interest in all of the (prior to 1960) MoPars from H.A.M. B. getting together at the 2011 MoPar Nats? I wonder how well we'd be...
