As I continue with this series of photos from time to time, today's post highlights two modified DeSoto models. 

The 1st has been modified by John White. A couple simple changes, but they alter the way the model looks significantly (at least I think so)

1954 DeSoto Firedome Sportsman Hardtop -- Cherokee Red w/a White Top and a bolder set of whitewall tires. - BRK 176x

1954 DeSoto Fire dome Hdtp WT0
1954 DeSoto Fire dome Hdtp WT1
1954 DeSoto Fire dome Hdtp WT4
1954 DeSoto Fire dome Hdtp WT5
1954 DeSoto Fire dome Hdtp WT6
1954 DeSoto Fire dome Hdtp WT7

I've pictured this one before, but I thought I'd feature it a 2nd time because it is so special. This model was modified by John Roberts.

Your Desoto wagon is gorgeous. The standard one in Pearl White over Golden Tan poly is one of my favorite BRK. Look the one of Rick Thompson sent me few years ago. The color of the seats are really special and awesome. I do not remember who made it for him?

The seats on mine are the same, very cool. Maybe John Roberts did more than one? I got mine from Jack Dodds.
