Today's post is taking a step back - well a few years back - 1942 ... The reason for the step back is this is a new addition to my collection; one I've been hunting for a while. I just finished up the photos last night. I am very pleased to have finally found one of these.

Very, very nice! I wasn't aware there was a coupe version of this model done.

CONGRATS on the great find!!
1942, at the start of WWII for the US - a perfect color in Pearl Gray!
Excellent photos John!
Some info on the 42 DeSoto:

Love the model , John. The ads on that site are just so cool. Rare cars, indeed.

I also was not aware of the coupe version. I only knew of the 1942 Conquest convertible, which I have, and the 1942 Brooklin 4-door hardtop.

This is a beautiful DeSoto automobile and replica of it. A really terrific car to display !

@jack-dodds I wasn't either Jack, at least not from Conquest. I do have the convertible from Conquest and a coupe from Victory and NEO .
