Many years ago Franklin Mint did this '52 DeSoto. If it was good enough for Groucho, it's sure good enough for me, especially in 1/43 form !

Mike, Your pictures make this look like a 1/1. I've always liked this model

Harv, This is the way the model looks best as it hides the oversized shut lines.

@mg-harv I had a lot of fun with these Desoto sedans.  Due to the opening features they were more difficult to modify than a solid casting item.
