Full Description

Offered for sale is a beautifully restored 1946 DeSoto 2-Door finished in a stunning deep metallic blue with brilliant chrome trim and classic wide whitewall tires. This is an eye-catching example of post-war American automotive craftsmanship that presents exceptionally well and draws attention everywhere it goes. The 1946 DeSoto marked Chrysler Corporation's return to civilian automobile production following World War II. Powered by Chrysler's legendary 236.6 cubic-inch (Flathead) Inline Six-Cylinder engine, these automobiles earned a reputation for outstanding reliability, smooth operation, and durability. Today, they remain highly desirable among collectors for their timeless styling and dependable mechanical design. Vehicle owned by the same individual for several years and, according to the previous owner, was garage kept and meticulously maintained. The overall condition of the vehicle reflects that level of care. The vehicle starts, runs, drives, and shifts. Vehicle has only been driven within our storage facility and while positioning it for photographs. It has not been road-tested at highway speeds. The exterior features an exceptional deep metallic blue finish with outstanding gloss, beautiful body lines, extensive chrome trim, chrome bumpers, chrome hubcaps, dual exterior mirrors, and classic wide whitewall tires. The restored interior maintains its original appearance while offering tasteful upgrades, including restored cloth seating, restored carpeting, original-style dashboard, original steering wheel, chrome dash trim, and a JVC stereo system discreetly installed for improved driving enjoyment. Whether you're looking for a dependable weekend cruiser, a local show vehicle, or an excellent addition to a Chrysler, DeSoto, or post-war American automobile collection, this DeSoto offers timeless styling, proven engineering, and exceptional curb appeal.
