Vehicle Description
-SALE PENDING-
Named after famed Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto, the DeSoto
brand was presented to consumers as a highly-style high-performance
mid-priced vehicle. For the majority of their time on the market,
DeSotos had technologies that were both novel and functional,
drawing wide consumer appeal. With forward thinking design and
novel marketing, including advertising by the once hugely popular
Groucho Marx, the DeSoto was able to withstand more than one
economic recession and closely trail sales of other like makes.
This 1957 Adventurer Convertible, the first year that the
Adventurer was offered in a convertible, is an example of a
stunning restoration. Once owned by famous musician Richard
Carpenter, a framed picture of the artist and the vehicle's
California title remains with the vehicle. Finished in black and
gold, flowing to a complimenting Adventurer interior, this
Adventurer is very well equipped. Options include AM Radio with
dual antennas, dash clock, gray padded dash, power windows, power
front seat and power brakes. Fire up this Adventurer and the 345ci
345hp HEMI roars. Drive down the road and feel the smooth shift of
the 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission and the floating
ride on the car's independent front suspension and live rear axle
with semi-elliptic leaf springs. Front to back, inside and out,
this Adventurer will not disappoint. It is an example of a truly
rare automobile that has been restored to a very high standard.
Unless stated otherwise, vehicle mileage on title is exempt and
unknown if original.
