This 1931 DeSoto Model SA Standard Coupe has a rear luggage compartment instead of a rumble seat, as found in the Deluxe. The interior is upholstered in wide-pleated button mohair. The instrument binnacle is a wide oval assembly housing the drum speedometer and all four gauges under one sheet of glass. The gauges include a temperature, fuel, oil pressure, and ammeter. Currently, the odometer shows 88,000 miles. The car's exterior is finished in gloss black, and it rides on whitewall 4.75-19 Firestone whitewalls on black steel-wire wheels.
