Those are 1958 Plymouth tailfins. It was listed as a DeSoto, and if that's true that'd make it a Diplomat. |

Non, no, it was listed "De Soto" on my inspired inspiration. If these are Plymouth tailfins, well it's a Plymouth, Tim. |

There were much more Plymouths that DeSoto Diplomats in Western Germany at the time due to the large number of US officers serving there. |

US military staff in Germany had cars US license plates. And I guess a three year old car wasn't old enough to be sold on the German private market. But we'd need to see more of the car to be sure which make and model it is... |

But, electra225, were those officers forbidden to buy De Sotos? It was not rare to see De Sotos in France in the 60s, for instance (the proof being that it's one of the first US make I remember). Why would have it been in Germany? |

US military staff bought US cars. The De Soto Diplomat wasn't available in the USA, so it this car was originally owned by a US military, it must be a Plymouth. But if it was sold as a new, private car in Germany it could be both a Plymouth or a De Soto... |

Dynamike is right: DeSoto Diplomats were not available on the US market but built (I suspect in Canada or Mexico) for foreign country, such as Middle East, Latin America and some European countries. |
