A friend of mine at my brother's campground has a bunch of De Soto's. We call him De Soto Joe.

The De Soto was made by Chrysler. It was a step below the Imperial and a step above the Plymouth. The last model built was a 1961.

The black one is a 55, the green one is a 56, and the blue one is a 57. These three have the Hemi engine, but in the De Soto it was called the Firedome. The wedge engines were also available in the De Sotos.

The green car looks so very much like my 3rd car....a 1955 Chrysler Windsor...mine didn't have the hemo tho...but it went 200,000 miles!!! I bought in in upstate NY in 1960 and it finally rusted to death in Key West, Fla in 1965.
