Looks nice! There's only one pic though, and it's missing turn signal lenses in the front and the letters 'D-E-S-T-O' from the hood. Hard to say if it's worth $20k with only one pic.

Location: Echuca		That does look a nice car, the ad is a bit light on text and images but the price seems right.

My guess on that 1 pic.......that car is worth $20K all day long (a day in 2018 anyhow).

But please, can someone tell me how I can differentiate between a LWB and SWB Desoto with one pic like drosera88 posted above.

Steve.

It's pretty easy actually, just look for the Dodge-style eyebrows and hood. It's not like the 59-61 Chryslers where the short and long wheel base vehicles look almost identical. 

 

Firesweep (swb):

You're right. I thought it had the bigger rear window but now that I look at it it's just the regular one.

Those front bumper guards (on both cars) do not really improve the look of the car!

Location: So. Cal		I agree because they are too close together. They look much better on the '58 with them spread apart more.

Not my cup of tea either but I like the '58s better where they are spaced farther apart - still prefer without expecially on the Firesweep that has too much chrome on the front already for my taste. Just my opinion.

Location: Pacific Northwest		Car has been "available" for a long time or so I was told. I contacted Bo to see if he could tell me any more about it and he has been going back and forth with the seller many times. The seller is not right in the head.
