I enjoyed Maverick's comments, since I knew before
getting to the bottom that he owns a Coronado. (I
considered buying his actual car myself, but the
Plymouth came along and that was all she wrote...) Not
sure I'm with him on most beautiful tri-tone (I'd give
that to a '56 New Yorker St. Regis myself) but it is
definitely beautiful, and I believe it's DeSoto's only
use of factory tri-tone.
One thing he didn't mention, and I could be mistaken
on this, but I've always been under the impression
that a good Coronado Turquoise paint job would glow in
the dark under ultraviolet light...
