Reports estimate that only 2,550 examples of these Custom DeSotos
were produced in 1938.
Until 1992, it was not known whether or not one was still in
existence and hence it lovingly became known as the Unknown
DeSoto.
The National DeSoto Club, in the early summer of that year,
released an article discussing the Custom DeSotos and by late
summer, this particular car had been discovered.
She is full of features and options that were not available on the
standard model.
Twin Windshield Wipers
Twin Taillights
Chrome Trim Ringed Wheel Covers
Twin Air-Tone Horns
Labels on All Under Dash Knobs
Matching Steering Wheel and Gearshift Knobs Particular to the
Custom Model & Trim
Twin Sun Visors
Front Passenger Armrest with Contrasting Shade Interior
Many Little Chrome Touches to the Interior and Exterior
The offering of this vehicle to public is a unique chance to not
only own a piece of true Americana but also the chance to own what
remarkably could be the only DeSoto of its kind left in the
world.
