Hey, he got his car back…must be holding itself together with bailing wire and bubble-gum this time! ;)

Speeding? In this???

Oh, those old hemi DeSotos could easily do 120 MPH, all while drinking 4 miles per gallon (and two quarts of oil).

True story: I was once in traffic school (don’t ask why), and one of the other students was a driver who’d been ticketed for going 25+ mph over the limit in a school zone… while driving the school bus.

Worse yet is the ID10T who went to court drunk & high for the hearing on his DUI. Paid his fine, sentenced to traffic school, and the cops reticketed him in the parking lot.

You mean that ole DeSoto will actually go fast enough to speed?

Ah, yes… Driver’s Rehabilitation Classes.

Some of you may not be aware; but, those old 57-59 DeSotos can bring top dollar if they are even in fair condition. Of course, the 3 doors are more desirable; but, even Cosmo’s 4 door would be nice to have. I just loved those old typewriter (push button) torque flight transmissions.

1959 DeSoto Firedome Sportsman Convertible

Very nice it looks like a 4 door convertible which is rare. Only 4 door convertible was a Lincoln used on Green Acers.

I was under the impression the Desoto was a hard top not a convertible.
