The fast-rising new Chrysler Corporation issued its first DeSoto in 1928. Though good times soon turned 'hard,' DeSoto would be one of the few pre-Depression 'expansion' makes to survive the thirties. Following Chrysler in a hasty retreat from the radically designed Airflows, DeSoto introduced the more conventionally designed and more saleable Airstream, saving the company from a disaster that briefly threatened DeSoto's existence. Only 215 of this very rare convertible sedan model were produced, with only three known to survive today. This three-owner 'Art Deco' styled DeSoto was found intact in the late eighties in New Hampshire and treated to a frame-off restoration in 1991. It most recently completed the 2007 Glidden Tour.
