Looks a little like a 1950/1951 DeSoto? -- Last edit: 2007-03-07 19:41:19 |

Maybe. It's clearly a DeSoto judging by the lettering across the grille. |

I thought so but the grill is different from any that I can find. |

That would explain why the body looks like a plymouth and the grill looks like DeSoto .gif ";)") |

Its a 53 DeSoto Diplomat built by Chrysler as an export model. It used the Plymouth body with DeSoto style grill teeth and trim. |

Saying it's an "export edition" is redundant. All DeSoto Diplomats were made for export. |

True, but no harm done I think. Good info for folks (like me) who don't know the car. .gif ":)") -- Last edit: 2007-03-08 00:45:46 |

Yes it is a DeSoto Diplomat Custom of 1953 ( series SP-24).They were similar to the Plymouth but curiously still used the former lower compression ( 7,0 :1) Plymouth engine of 97 hp àf 1949-52 instead of Plymouths 7,1:1 100 hp engine of 1953. |

That's a very interesting point, pilou. I recall reading that they used lower compression engines due to the generally poorer quality of fuel in some of the countries the Diplomats were exported to. |
