Description for DeSoto Custom 1940

Now available at our Philadelphia showroom, Gateway Classic Cars offers this great 1940 DeSoto Custom! Founded by Walter Chrysler in 1928 to compete with the mid-priced vehicles offered by Buick, Mercury and Oldsmobile, DeSoto, named after the famed Spanish explorer was a household name back in the 1930s and 40s. It conveyed a spirit of adventure and dependability, concepts that related to the average American car buyer of that day.
