I believe this one is owned by Arne Nilsson in Sweden.
This car turned up in the NDC newsletter a couple of
years ago, and was considered a contender for "last
DeSoto built in the US" until some other cars turned
up with 11/30/60 build dates and higher build numbers.
I seem to remember this one turning up in Texas,
allegedly already in DeSoto convertible form but
unrestored when Arne got a hold of it. (He did a great
job!)
Never saw the VIN on this car (I'd settle for the
first four digits, they'd tell me what it started life
as). In any event it's a beautiful car and looks like
it was built that way.
