I like your choice in comics!  But, are you sure the DeSoto was Shoe's car?
I would have sworn that it belonged to the Perfesser, aka Cosmo Fishhawk.

Do you currently get Lola (I think that's the name...a grumpy old lady with
a DeSoto, IIRC another '59).  There was one recently where her son asked her
if she'd found anything safe to drive while her car was in the shop.  Her
reply was that she'd rented something almost as good... a Hummer.
