A 4-Door variant was not available until 1960 when it took place of the convertible. This was the last year for the Adventurer as DeSoto was on its way out of business and was the only year with a variety of colors to choose from.Part of a collection of 20 cars located and purchased to go in a museum honoring the founder of a family business who owned and drove these same cars.
