Looks a little like a 1950/1951 DeSoto?

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 ;)

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. :)

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.
