Vehicle Description
Own a unique piece of American automotive history with this 1949
DeSoto Custom Convertible Coupe. This '49 DeSoto was at one time
owned by famed car collector Gene Ellingson, founder of the
Ellingson Car Museum. Mr. Ellingson sold this car to its most
recent owner who has decided to sell the car once again after 15+
years of ownership. Under the hood of this DeSoto is a 236.7 Cubic
Inch L-Head 6 Cylinder engine which is mated to a Gyrol Fluid Drive
Semi-Automatic with Tip-Toe Shifter. What makes this transmission
special is that, as DeSoto put it, the transmission "lets you drive
without shifting." This Mopar sits on 4 Kelsey-Hayes Wire Wheels
with whitewall tires, giving this car that truly classic look. The
previous owner of this DeSoto Convertible had the car repainted in
what is believed to be its original Andante Green color which
continues to presents quite well today. The chrome and brightwork
on this DeSoto Custom is in very nice shape. The tan canvas power
convertible top looks to be new. The green vinyl and broadcloth
bench seat interior is in fantastic shape, along with the dash,
steering wheel, and interior trim accents. If you're looking for
"the car designed with you in mind," this 1949 DeSoto Custom
Convertible is the car for you!
