Hi all. I'm bustin' with joy over my new toy-- a '59 DeSoto Fireflite 2dr ht. Got it 3 days ago. It sat in a barn of the original family, last registered in '85. It's got the usual lower rear and floor rot, but not bad. I cleaned out the carb, drained the stanky old gas from the tank, put in a new battery, and it fired right up !!! Trans seems ok too. As soon as I get my new wheel cylinders it'll be a rolling restoration [ that means enjoying driving it more than working on it !!! ] Rich
