1948 DeSoto Custom Series Navigation
Although it was as long as a limousine, the 1948 De Soto Suburban was a medium-priced sedan intended for family transportation and utilitarian purposes such as carrying luggage, sports equipment, and camping gear both on the roof and inside. The Suburban's wide-opening rear deck lid and cavernous cargo area could be extended from the trunk into the passenger compartment by folding the rear seats. This rare survivor remains in its original condition except for new paint.Source - Petersen Museum
