Vehicle Description
The DeSoto Custom is an automobile produced by DeSoto from 1939
until the 1952 model year. While in production, the Custom was
DeSoto's top-trim level car, and was offered in a wide array of
body styles, including a 7-passenger sedan and the
extended-wheelbase Suburban sedans. The Custom shared its engine
design with the Deluxe, and were powered by Chrysler's L-head 236.7
six-cylinder engine, delivering 109 bhp (81 kW) at 3,600 rpm.
Custom models, along with Deluxe models, produced during the 1946,
1947, 1948 and first half of the 1949 model years used DeSoto's
prewar bodies. A fully redesigned Custom was launched in the second
half of 1949, along with a redesigned Deluxe, and these cars are
referred to as "1949 Second Series" models. In 1950, the Custom
range gained DeSoto's first consumer-designed station wagon. The
Custom also received DeSoto's first hardtop coupe, which featured
pillarless door design and which was trimmed to convertible
standards. Standard equipment included two-speed electric
windshield wipers, a trunk light and full carpeting.
