Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this stylish 1933 Chrysler
DeSoto Sedan. This clean machine comes in a striking cayenne red
pearl paint job complemented by a gray interior. The current owner
stated this vehicle was restored in 2015 to include a 4-barrel,
350ci motor, and automatic transmission. The 350ci motor has a mild
street cam installed which increases the power output while
maintaining driveability. Additional features of the DeSoto include
four-wheel disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, power brakes as
well as working heat and A/C. This vehicle has been well maintained
and comes with a folder of receipts for vehicle maintenance
completed. Please call or email us for more information.
The DeSoto make was founded by Walter Chrysler on August 4, 1928,
and introduced for the 1929 model year. It was named after the
Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto. Chrysler wanted to enter the
brand in competition with its arch-rivals General Motors,
Studebaker, and Willys-Knight, in the mid-price class. Shortly
after DeSoto was introduced, Chrysler completed its purchase of the
Dodge Brothers, giving the company two mid-priced makes. Initially,
the two-make strategy was relatively successful, with DeSoto priced
below Dodge models. Despite the economic times, DeSoto sales were
relatively healthy, pacing Dodge at around 25,000 units in 1932. In
fact, when DeSoto first came out in 1929, it broke the first-year
sales record, with 81,065 cars sold, and was not beaten until 1960
by the Ford Falcon.
