I had a DeSoto shipped from North Dakota to Seattle and the driver wound up breaking the exhaust manifold on the lefthand side. How he do that, you might ask? Well, he didn't raise the front end of his car trailer enough during unloading, and the aft lip of the trailer snagged the lowest muffler. Before I could slow the guy down to think up a better solution to unsticking the car, he climbed onto its rear bumper and started bouncing it up and down. Well, it came unstuck, which was no surprise. But it put such a strain on the exhaust pipe that it snapped the exhaust manifold in two. Of course, I didn't find out it was broken until he was long gone. So now I'm in the market for two new mufflers (turns out the other side snagged, too, and it buckled), and a log-style manifold for the left side. The number cast into the exhaust manifold is 1634445. It was apparently used in 56 on some Plymouths, and 56/57 on DeSotos. Please contact me if you have one of these, or know where I can find one.
