Re: [FWDLK] '55 DeSoto FireFlite Convertible Hemi



Hey, Jim; I think you're PM'ing me, here, right??

EH; I'll send this to the List, too.

Anyhoo, I DID take pic(s) of the Dodge body (as well as the
headliner-bows).

The bodies on both cars are complete & mind-bogglingly/jaw-droppingly
straight and rust (what's THAT??)  free.....

Last year, I remarked that there is a 56 PLY
"El Camino"/Dodge Sweptwing-truck " car body, @ Desert Valley, & ALL the
'tough/unique' body-parts/panels are "there" !!!

Of course, it needs EVERYTHING accoutrement-wize, but, if a person had
an operable 4-dr sedan, that car could be sacrificed to create a
marvelous vehicle!
 
It was interesting to see the AMOUNT of roof insullation/batting  that
was put 'into/onto' a stationwagon. 

A 56 Desoto had a dash-mounted clock assembly.

Hidden Valley is re-locating ALL its cars, so only a tiny fraction of
them were 'viewable', and we "couldn't"  go to their  former yard, to
re-visit those cars. 

Does anyone know what the 56 Golden Lancer (it's MAYBE a D500; almost
certainly-not a Super-D)  may have sold-for?

It appears that its last-year's buyer (for around 230K?) was attempting
to "turn" it, at B-J, this year.
