UP FOR SALE IS A 1948 DESOTO CUSTOM SEDAN SURVIVOR WITH 26,000 DOCUMENTED MILES. THIS IS A VERY NEAT CAR WHICH HAS ITS ORIGINAL INTERIOR AND SOME OF ITS ORIGINAL PAINT. I KNOW THE FENDERS AND TRUNK HAVE BEEN RESPRAYED AT SOME POINT IN ITS LIFE. THE HOOD AND DOORS LOOK TO BE ORIGINAL.THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS CAR IS THE INTERIOR. IT HAS ITS ORIGINAL UPHOLSTRY WHICH IS VERY NICE. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL MOTH HOLES IN THE BACK.THE FOAM ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT SEAT HAS HARDENED.THE DASH IS NICE AS IS THE PLASTIC STEERING WHEEL AND THE WINDOW KNOBS.THE HEAD LINER IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND THE REAR CARPET. THE FRONT CARPET HAS BEEN REPLACED AND DOES INCLUDE A NEW REAR ONE. THE GAUGES ALL WORK PERFECTLY AND THE SPEEDO STILL GLOWS GREEN,YELLOW AND RED AT NIGHT. THE MOTOR RUNS BEAUTIFULLY AS A 26K MILE ENGINE SHOULD.CAR DRIVES WONDERFULLY AND WOULD NOT HESITATE GOING ANYWHERE. THE TIRES ARE OLDER SEARS ALLSTATE WHITE WALLS AND DO RIDE NICE BUT IF YOU WERE TO GO LONG DISTANCE YOU MIGHT WANT TO REPLACE WITH FRESHER RUBBER. FROM MY RESEARCH ON THE CAR IT APPEARS TO HAVE STARTED LIFE IN NEW YORK AND MIGRATED SOUTH TO VIRGINIA. THE PREVIOUS OWNER UNFORTUNATELY LEFT THE CAR OUTSIDE FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS AND YOU CAN SEE THE CHROME PITTING AND RUST AT BOTTOM OF GRILL AND BOTTOM OF TRUNK THAT HAPPENED. OVERALL A VERY NEAT AND UNIQUE 64 YEAR OLD CAR THAT CAN BE ENJOYED THE WAY IT IS.IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL TOM AT 540-937-7787. I AM SELLING THIS FOR A FRIEND SO I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
