Looks like two different cars: main pic is a one colour version; thumbnails show a two-tone version? |

The solid color De Soto is a standard wheelbase car. The two-tone De Soto is a long wheelbase, possibly 7 passenger car. These kinds of cars are covered in a recent classic auto magazine I bought, so I can check it out. |

Not having a Custom badge, I assume this is a DeLuxe, though it has suicide rear doors. The three images from francisharley belong to a Suburban. More comments on its own page. The badge below the DeSoto emblem above the left side of the grille may say Simplimatic, a kind of auto transmission, I believe. -- Last edit: 2008-01-05 04:51:59 |

Large picture is a 1946-48 DeSoto DeLuxe ( S-11-S) .On the thumbnails an interesting late 1948 DeSoto 9 passenger Suburban on the 139.5 inches chassis ( S-11-C) featuring the two-tone paint and the standard roof luggage rack with wooden slats and metal rails .The Suburban was introduced in mid-1947 , but the color scheme of this one , regal blue with arctic silver roof was only introduced in late 1948.Most of these cars used the Fluid Drive transmission.I think that the Suburban deserves its own filing. |
