I bet that DeSoto had torsion bar front suspension. That DeSoto = Class! That gentleman was very fortunate to find this beautiful relic from the past. I loved that engine bay. Back then a person could actually service their own car such as adjusting the fuel mix on the carb's, changing out the spark plugs, setting the timing and dwell on the distributer and so on. Everything on those cars were analog controlled relay logic, as opposed to todays cars that are operated with a temperamental digital computer.

Hi Gerry, Happy to read "Awesome" :-) You're welcome. Blessings received, and God bless you too, Lou

[@bdpopeye]

@@loucostabile The thing about these MOPARS from the 50s and 60s was that the build quality was poor. Plus like most cars of this era they rusted quickly. These beautiful cars are in MUCH better condition when restored. This Desoto is Awesome. I really like the colors on these 50's cars. Today's cars seem to be ..white, black, gray, silver & tan )-: with a few red and blue tossed in. Thanks again for posting Lou!

That 1959 Desoto looks like something that your buddy Randy Guyer would own. That Mopar is in phenominal shape, and the engine sounds smooth and healthy! I love these old Mopars that stand the test of time. With these cars, you don't see thwm everyday! Another great classic as usual Lou!

Sadly, the Chrysler cars, in particular, rusted out pretty quick, which is why you seldom see such examples as this one.

[@sporty1701]

Remember the comic strip "Grin and Bear It"? Apparently, George Lichty was a big fan of Virgil Exner's designs...virtually every car appearing in the strip, was a 1957-1959 DeSoto! What a beautiful car...from an era when nearly every car had its own unique identity.

1959 Chrysler products are one of my favorites. Very nice, rare survivor car. I'm continually amazed at all the options available in the old days I never would have guessed a 383 dual quad engine was available. Thanks for showing the speedometer. Great video Lou and thanks!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Gary, Happy to read this is a favorite of yours :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@curbozerboomer1773]

Those "ribbon" speedometers were all the rage in the later 50s...my dad owned a 1959, red Buick LeSabre convertible...it also had the ribbon speedo, plus that silly warning buzzer, that you could set at a certain speed, to remind you if you were speeding!...1959 was pretty much the pinnacle for swooping, huge fins...by the early 60s, those had diminished considerably...Style was so important, at that time...safety?--not so much!

[@citibear57]

Great looking car 👍 It's such a shame that Chrysler Corp. at one time included the Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler, Imperial, and Dodge Trucks brands, and now it barely casts a shadow. Thank you to the 'Lou Crew' for another educational, and entertaining, video!

[@josephconsoli4128]

Spectacular car from bumper to bumper. I remember in the '70's, when the '57 Bel Air, '55 Ford Crown Vic, and all the other classic iconic models were the only '50's models people really valued. I would see these in books and didn't understand why there seemed to be no interest, or very little. I knew their day would come. Now they surpass the '57 Bel Air and '55 Crown Vic in value!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Jospeh, High praise for this car :-) Lou

[@muffs55mercury61]

That's about how it was. A co-worker bought a 1960 Chrysler 2 dr HT in 1978 for $100. Not a single person even called about it except him. The engine was stuck but he got it unstuck mostly using Marvel Mystery Oil and got it started, changed the transmission fluids and filter, coolant (needed a radiator rod-out but not a core) and drove it as is for over a year. About the only thing you could hear was the tires on the road.

[@JeffKing310]

Thanks, Lou, for another sentimental journey. Although this one is a sad (No, NOT a Saab 😉) story. In early 1960, parents had a chance to buy a 59 ADVENTURER exactly like this. I still have photos I took while they test drove it. Being just short of my driver's license, I desperately wanted that car to become part of the family. But they passed it up. But at least we still had our 55 Firedome. Then the local DeSoto dealer offered his last 61 DeSoto at a great deal. Once again they passed, only to trade the Firedome (six months later) for a 62 Plymouth Belvedere which to me was one of the ugliest cars ever built and a definite step down! It's Halloween 🎃, so I guess you could say I am still haunted 👻 by that American Horror Story.

[@loveisall5520]

@@loucostabile I've wondered so many times why DeSoto disappeared. I guess I think it's because the market segment disappeared within Mopar. The Dodge top-line models crept closer and of course then DeSoto had its Dodge-based lower line, then also the Windsor and DeSoto got closer on the upper end. What do you think, Lou? Obviously it had nothing to do with the physical car itself...

Too bad DeSoto in the end got squeezed out between Dodge and Chrysler. The 58 recession had a huge impact hurting these mid-priced cars.

They were more beautiful than the Chryslers. Only 590 of these were built and just 97 convertibles.
