Description for DeSoto 4 door sedan 1939

Vehicle purchased new by my Grandfather in 1938. Frame off restoration started in the the mid 1980's. Many new old stock parts were added such as front coil springs, as tank, adiator and body support rubbers. Bumpers,bumper bars, ood ornament and headlight rims were rechromed. All other chrome trim was removed and polished. Only one chrome piece missing (running board trim). Window glass replaced except windshield glass which is still new in box. The interior is original. Engine was rebuilt in 1986 with about 2 hours of run time before vehicle was stored. The paint was stripped and prime painted but inside storage was lost. It was covered with canvas for 20+ years which resulted in surface rust. Thecar is very complete. Many extra parts included. Original radio still works. We will be sad to see it go but it needs a new home.
