I saw one of these for sale and know nothing about them. Kind of a cool looking car though. I don't think I've ever seen one in a coupe before.
Found the perfect motor for this car. Bought a 56 Desoto hemi yesterday. Working on a deal to get the car also.
There is a nice chopped 40 De Soto for sale in the classifieds. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1940-desoto-coupe-chopped-n-bagged.926194/
looks like a merc to me...got any more info on it?....I mis-spoke after an internet search I see that it is a 40 coupe with teardrop lights and I agree hands down the best I have seen.
