Melanson Motors is proud to offer this 1928 Desoto Model K Hot Rod.
This is an amazing and unique Hot Rod build that remains all
Chrysler! A Hot Rod you can comfortably drive and enjoy which
features upgraded front suspension and steering, air conditioning,
stereo system, power steering, and power disc brakes. This Hot Rod
started with an all steel body, hood and fenders. The body was
removed from the frame and the frame was sandblasted and painted
black. A 1985 Chrysler Fifth Ave front clip was grafted to the
frame at that time. The Fifth Ave steering column was also fitted
to the car.The panel fit is excellent with good and consistent
gaps. The Cadillac Grey paint has a metallic flake that really
sparkles in the sun. The paint is 20 years old and shows some small
blemishes, but is overall in really great condition. The bumpers
and headlight buckets are in great condition.
This car has a rebuilt 318 engine with an aluminum intake manifold,
Edelbrock 4 barrel carburetor, ceramic coated exhaust manifolds,
chrome alternator and electronic ignition with Accel distributor.
The transmission is a rebuilt Torqueflight 727 automatic. The rear
end is from a 1985 Chrysler Fifth Ave. This hot rod has power rack
and pinion front steering. It also has power disc brakes up front.
The undercarriage is nicely detailed and painted black.
The interior is all custom and very comfortable. The front bucket
seats and rear bench are wrapped in a grey cloth. The interior
features a beautiful hand made wooden dashboard with Dolphin
gauges. The wood trimmed door panels with black leather panels
match the beautiful black leather headliner. A variable speed
electric wiper motor is installed.A Kenwood AM/FM radio is also
neatly installed.
The car rides on staggered 15" baby moon style chrome wheels. The
tires are Defender Sport radials.
Here is an opportunity to own a great driving, well built Hot Rod
that stands out from the others!
