My brother's buddy in high school used to drive his father's Crosley Hot-Shot to school on the days his parents were away on business. It turned heads even back in the 1980s seeing it drive down the street. What a deathtrap! Fun though.
At 77, I remember my dad in the 1950's - a true odd car collector - he bought a Crosley Wagon Delux. It was red with "woody" trim. He then traded it for two Crosley sedans. One night on our way to a friend's house he spotted that red woody wagon with a for sale sign. We finished the trip to our friends place with TWO Crosleys, mom drove the beige sedan with dad proudly at the wheel of the wagon. We ended up with another grey wagon until one day my dad traded all four cars for two Studebakers. One time he bought all the cars from a funeral home - five 1949 Buicks...
WOW, Dennis, that '53 Chrysler Sedamulance is unique, and it seems that the heater take up as much space as the engine. Keep up theses fantastic videos.
The brush, was the third automobile to go coast to coast in the U. S., and the first to cross Australia coast to coast. There is no record of the brush suffering a broken axel. The suspension coil springs were not direct compression, but instead were like a bicycle seat suspension arrangement.
Do you know where the "SEDAMULANCE" ornament belongs on the car? I just bought a Desoto sedambulance, and it wasn't attached, just thrown in the glove box. I can't figure out where it belongs.
i just dont understand why people cant keep a car origanal to how it was and that desoto he should have kept it origanal like i kept my 54 desoto powermaster origanal.
To each their own! That is some beautiful custom work. If you like original cars, you can buy one and do a nice complete restoration on it. I like both the custom and the original Desoto.
