Re: [FWDLK] Lookin 4 convertible 59 60 61 (2)



I'll second that. "almost any condition" and "no rust" is a contradiction in terms, particularly with these cars, since Mopar always sold better in places more likely to cause cars to rust. I figure if you can find one that has a good frame under it, you're doing pretty good. Or if it's a unibody, if the bumpers haven't rotted off it yet.

I'd suggest watching Hemmings, eBay, and other vehicle markets, with the economy down you might be able to scoop up a bargain from someone with a bad mortgage to pay off or something. Smaller auctions might be worth looking at, too. But like he said it's not 1960 anymore, these cars are tough to find in any condition - heck when you're talking in some cases production numbers under 1000, they were hard to find when still relatively new. In fact, DeSoto didn't offer a convertible for '60 or '61, so you're not going to find one of those at all. Unless you happen on one someone made up, which has happened a couple times.

In any case, good luck, and be prepared to throw cash at someone.

I am looking 4 a 59 60 or 61 Dodge, Plymouth DeSoto convertible. So, what is out there along this approximate route for me to bring back. Almost any condition considered. Please, no cars with rusty floors or bodies. Not running ok.

Unless we can set the time machine for 1960, are not "convertible" and "no rust" contradictions in terms ? ;-D

 Please post photos if you come up with something !
