Hello, I am Bill Grubbs and I just subscribed to the ForwardLook list today. Our family owned a 1956 DeSoto Firedome 4 door until sometime after 1970. We sold it with probably 90K miles on it and a serious engine problem. Once it warmed up, it wouldn't go much over 5 mph. Looking back, I could shoot myself for not checking the exhaust butterfly valve. Surely it was stuck or had a broken spring. Anyway, I enjoyed driving the thing for several years while I was attending college in Waleska, GA where it made quite an impression with the other students. Recently, I saw several for sale on the internet and I got bitten by the bug and am in the market for a similar car. After that, I will certainly be needing technical support. I am very excited and optimistic about, once again, owning a DeSoto. Other owners please feel free to message me. I will publicise my web page when I finish adding some DeSoto stuff. Regards, Bill Grubbs Atlanta, GA ----------------- Test drive a DeSoto today! |
