1948 DeSoto Custom Series Navigation
This 1948 DeSoto S11 Custom four-door sedan with suicide doors has approximately 37,500 miles on its original six-cylinder engine. It has its original Fluid Drive transmission, which allows two standard shifts and two automatic shifts so the driver can pull up to the stoplight without putting their foot on the clutch pedal. It wears green metallic paint on its rust-free body, and there is a chrome Flying Lady Hood Ornament.
