Please see photos. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The paint appears to be largely original and shows off its age gracefully. While there are some imperfections such as chips and paint bubbles as expected with a car of this vintage, these minor flaws do not detract from this DeSotos beauty! Please see photos. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: Step inside and be transported to the 1950s. The interior appears largely original and presents very well, showcasing the luxurious design and craftsmanship of Forward Look Mopars. The lack of interior customization, despite the Hemi under the hood, is one of our favorite aspects of this vehicle. All that 1950s charm is still present! MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Beneath the hood lies a 5.7L fuel-injected Gen III Hemi, paired with a GM 4L80E overdrive automatic transmission, offering the best of both worlds: vintage looks with modern reliability and performance! Additionally, Wilwood power disc brakes on all four corners provide superior stopping power, and polished Pro Comp wheels give it a subtle yet striking update.

Preserved Interior Wear: The interior, while well-preserved, shows some age-related wear typical of a car from the 1950s. DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?
