Location: Parts Unknown | Gonna have to settle on my tiny avatar, as I do not have any stored photos of my DeSoto on my laptop. For those taking notes: 1958 DeSoto Fireflite. I have hard copy photos of some other really rare ones at home, as well as dealer promo photos, but that will have to wait until I get home. | ||

Exner Expert 19,174 posts. Neil passed away 18 Sep 2015. You will be missed, Neil! Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | Ok; this is a fitting 10,000th post (been waiting for one to arise)....That is Lee Smith's (originally: Arnie "The Farmer" Beswick's) 1957 D501 race car, above here. It is one of the few true race car D501's that were built (most-all, by the time of their delayed run-out, in late MAR 57) had been doll'ed-up with various options to make them more sale-able to the general public. Lee's car has virtually no factory options on it--not even a heater--but it's 2-tone paint job was an option; single colors were standard on every 1957 Dodge car model. Now: on to 11,000th post! WOW---just noticed my new appellation, too! Thord; you, too, must have attended a certain WPC national Meet, in Detroit, around the mid-80's! Recognize the distinctive lighting from the Joe Louis Center/Cobo Hall....Wayne Maddox had his 57 green/white Royal D500 there, and so did Bill Amberger--turquoise/white Custom Coronet 2-dr Club Coupe! I had flown into town...to attend. For anyone who missed out on the 80's Detroit National Meets, with their tours of the various Assembly Plants and Corporate honcho get-togethers, and Proving Grounds tours etcetcetc....too bad!

Elite Veteran Posts: 907 Location: Magra, Sweden | Neil, congrats to your 10k! Yes, of course I attended the WPC Meet in Detroit in 1985 to celebrate Chrysler 60 years! That was THE MEET of a lifetime! The Saturday car show was in the Cobo Hall where I got some pics. That was the time I met Wayne Maddox, first in Colorado and then in Detroit where he had his lovely green/white 57 Royal D500. Sherwood Kahlenberg brought a shiny red 58 Belvedere 4-d HT with only 7834 miles! I arrived at the meet by Greyhound bus after a visit with Jack Shrum in Canada, to see his 60 Imperial Custom. I've been through my old slides and I've got a lot more pics, keep your eyes open for a new thread... | ||
