Kudos to DM for their color choices on these DeSotos. I can't say I remember these cars looking so eye-popping back in the day.
Never got around to buying this one. I do have the hardtop in these colors, the Adventurer hardtop and the yellow/black convertible. I guess the budget didn't allow this at the time. Questionable decision as I look back on it today. As always, great pictures John.
Have the color combo in a Conquest convertible in 1/43...that eases the pain somewhat.
A delightful, delovely and distinctive Danbury DeSoto. Glad to say I have this one. I only wish it had the wire wheels. As I recall, one could only get the convertible if they bought the Sportsman coupe in the same color combo.
Have it and love it. It's a beautiful model Bob Jackman, you need to put it at the top of your Bucket List.
