Bright, dry, golden day to photograph a gorgeous DeSoto!

Wonderful model. I know a lot do not like the bright wheel covers but they are correct which is fine with me.

The gold caps are a tad too bright compared to the body color which looks somewhat garish but nonetheless I love this car.

Yes, those GOLD wheel covers are correct for the car, but that doesn't make them nice looking to my eyes.  They are such a huge distraction from an otherwise incredibly beautiful DeSoto.

Yeah, they are bright, but I don't mind them. I do like Hollis' version with the Kelsey- Hayes wheels better.💯

Back in the day I didn’t care for the over styling of the ‘50’s DeSoto’s, Packard-Studebaker’s, etc. The older I get, the more I appreciate their uniqueness and especially their “weirdness”. Your model is definitely one of the classiest of the group, which figure’s, you are one salve and deboner dude!

My favourite colours for the 1956 DeSoto, wheels and all. Gino’s images make it really stand out.

And the GOLD wheel covers look even more hideous and out of place on the '57 Adventurer.  I'd go with NO wheel covers before I'd drive with the gold ones.  They just ruin a nice looking car!
