>From the poor showing of DeSotos in the Top 10 of Forword Look enthusiasts, perhaps Chrysler Corp. did the right thing in dropping the marque in 1961. Do you think Chrysler should have axed DeSoto? Why? Do you instinctively think of DeSotos as restyled Plymouths, Dodges, etc.? Would you have bought one new? Would you have paid attention to DeSoto before 1955, and the Forword Look influence?
