Event Coverage So I went to a local cruise in night....

And I saw these 2 cars, and fell in love!!!!!!!


39 Desoto




with the original flat 6


And this 41 Cadillac -







i just thought they were done so so nicely.

 

They are nice now but they will be spectacular when finally painted.

 

that Desoto is bad ass! the Caddy needs some grill work,i would drive the piss out of either ....

 

I like em both. Very nice lines and clean look.

 

the desoto is f-in rad!!

 

Really diggin' both of them, but there's something about the front end/grill area of the Caddy that just looks.....off. Like maybe the grill is a bit too squared off or something. Still a nice looking car, regardless. And I agree, with paint they'll be that much better!

 

i love that desoto caddy is cool too but it looks fuuy up front. looks like chevy truck fenders on it .id loose the eyebrows on the fenders but thats just me.id still drive the hell out of it. they could even park it in my driveway!!

 

Love boaf of um!

 

i believe that desoto belongs to a hamber, saw it at led east, and it is VERY cool.

 

I know everybody likes painted cars, but that flat black is my absolute favorite color, Those be some nice cars!

exactly. the thing has curves all over and then the grille is very 80's looking to me. it sort of reminded me of the cheap plastic grille that was on my parent's 84 caprice station wagon.

 

everyone knows the 85 caprice wagon is their best year especially if you can get one of the woodys

 

both cars look great,would agree a shiny finish would bring more to life, just my opinion

 

The DeSoto rules!...except for those nerf bar, bumper bracket thing-a-ma-jiggees.

 

Agreed.

The DeSoto is awesome. Nice lines on the cadi as well.

 

I think they look cool the way they are...

 

That desoto gave me a shiver, love it.

 

I loved everything about the DeSoto except the interior. The dash is all original, but it has some weird really cushiony front seat that looks way too big and out of place.....I agree the front end of the caddy looks a little off (even though that is how the stock grill looked on those), but I was just amazed, seeing as how I have never seen a caddy like that chopped, and really customized in that manor. Either way, whoever did the work on both did a phenomenal job, the lines look great, and the flat 6 in the desoto is so so Bad ASS!!!!!!

 

I wants me that desoto!

 

those desotos are good looking cars... too bad so few survived. great looking nose on them

 

Since everyone is giving their 2 cents........

I think the chop is toooo much on the DeSoto. Just look at the back window.

JMHO.....

The Desoto looks cool. Needs a bigger back window and some nice shiny paint to make it really awesome

 

nice rides...where was the cruise night?

 

Isn't that grille on the Caddy from a 60's Caddy? Kind of ruins the whole look of a great body style.
DeSoto is very cool

 

The Desoto makes me want to chop my Dodge. these are sleek chopped.

 

Do It!

 

it was at a place called Guptill's. It's a local roller rink, they do it once a month. Usually get close to a thousand cars.

 

Except for the back window, I like the Desoto a lot, including the paint and the nerf bars.

 

A guy could make that 41 Caddy take on sort of a Cord-like appearance by filling in the outer two portions of the grill with sheet metal and just leaving the middle part.

It would kill the massiveness of the stock grill for sure and with those headlights high up on those big fenders it would even suggest some of the later model Pierce Arrows.

Regardless, I've always love those massive 40's era road machines. Throw a late model drivetrain under there and you've got a comfortable road yacht that will put any late model luxury car to shame.

 

I like that desoto....dig those crazy rear nerf's
