Could it be the last De Soto ever made?

SO: 1203?
Number 3001?

Location: Under the X in Texas		Yes, the last bunch of bodies to be assembled were all two door hardtops. While the last car was built November 30, the last car shipped out of the factory was end of December - so apparently it took that long to get orders in for the inventory on hand. The VIN of the last DeSoto off the line was 6113135102 and it was shipped Dec. 29. A few earlier VINs were the last DeSotos to leave the plant on Dec. 30.
