This DeSoto looks great, as does the similar Chrysler Windsor replica. Big, solid postwar American sedans !

Fine model, good pictures, and I like that trailer!

@mikedetorrice And Kager did some interesting transkits for these Desotos and Chryslers. Here are two business coupes. The Chrysler I modified slightly in the front clip to represent the 8 cylinder New Yorker. I wish there were more trankits produced for diecasts, they make interesting projects to create something just a bit different.

Here's another of the Vitesse series:
And this DeSoto is a Kager Edition of the Vitesse:
These Vitesse models were among my early 1:43 purchases, I think dating to the early 1990's. Thanks for reminding me of them, Galen55.
