Another modified Brooklin model by John Roberts. I picked this one a few months or so ago from Jack Dodds. The color is a different shade than was what was offered by DeSoto, a Light Orange or Coral shade.

Also done in light green.  This was the last year for Desoto station wagons, dropped from the line in 1960.  Shown here with other '59 Desotos.

John Roberts did a really nice interior upholstery pattern on this wagon as well.

@jack-dodds 

yes he did, unfortunately my photos didn’t come out that well. Need to try a retake outside to see how that works.

It's a great looking DeSoto station wagon. John Roberts did a fine job with this one and the color is excellent.
