What an absolutely beautiful piece of rolling history. And as I’ve always said, “glad this car is driven as they are meant to be”. What wonderful owners!
Aaaaah: our first car, inherited from wife's grandfather. A 57 DeSoto in 2-tone pink. Complete rust bucket, with lumber making up the floor of the trunk, but what a great car it was. Driver seat tilted out to let you disembark! On the highway it just floated along. Finally died of an engine fire, but a superb car,
Hi Graham L, Happy to read this car / video brings back memories of your 57 DeSoto. Thank you for viewing, sharing, and putting that fire out so you can tell the story today :-) Lou
Wow what a neat old DeSoto! It sure looked like our 1958 Chrysler Saratoga. Very close. Our Chrysler had that same engine in it the hemi! Loved the color and the owners and that engine sound wow! I loved it. Thanks for sharing Lou!
Nice, light blue car, and very original. It's not fake! These cars were great, but competed against automobiles in their own company! We know better now. Thanks for showing it, Lou!
Such a beautiful car. Lou seems to never disappoint. It always makes my day to watch this man pursew these wonderful Detroit creations. Allows me to to travel back in time and he does all the work. Thanks Lou.
My grandfather had a 1958 Firedome sedan. Same fins! He kept that car until 1974 and sold it for $500, which was a hefty price for a very old car back then. Just wish he'd held on to his 1927 Packard. He drove that until Pearl Harbor and traded it for a new Oldsmobile!
Great car, reminds me of my brothers buddy from highschool, he had a 57 Coronet,, now can see the competition with Dodge and DeSoto lots of similarly, thanks for sharing Lou and"Howdy"as always Greg 😁
Exner excellence! Beautiful 1957 DeSoto! I love these cars! I always wanted one of these, but I did own a 1956 model in 1972, and a 1958 model in 1968. Completely designed by Virgil M. Exner Sr. in 1955. The swept-wing fins of the Forward Look!
Hi Lou, The '57 Chrysler & DeSoto products would have to be the most stunning looking American cars ever built !! Graceful & beautiful. Thanks for showing this great example!! Cheers Tiger.
Hi BIGLOVE4TRUTH , Glad to read this car / video brings back memories of your 57 Fireflight back in High School :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Great car. I'm glad the owner has updated the brakes, carburetor & ignition. That idle is tooo sweet! My dad had a '57 Plymouth..but it was a 4 door sedan. Not as ornate as the Desoto. Not close. In the Chrysler hicheracy at the Time Chrysler was one, Desoto was two, Dodge was three and Plymouth was fourth.
The bugs in the grill show its authenticity as a driver car - so yeah, every good driver car has to have bugs in the grill. They get cooked and makes for survival food when ya get stranded - lol. I love the car and love these folks! A-1 kinda people. John and Ron, are very cool. Just stay out of her way when it comes to coffee. LoL
I love that '57 DeSoto! It was a work of art, as were all of Chrysler's products. Virgil Exner was the man to beat! These cars are hard to find today. It's a shame, though, that quality started to slip.

Hi Uri Deamabal , Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car, and yes, fun they drive it too. How many shades of blue? Seems like at least 3 to me, Lou
Hi! Your videos are very good. Good choice of cars...good detail. I just need some more time... As far as licence plates, I have a few hundred pictures of some good ones, I took on this last 30 years going after nice cars, in Auctions, Concours and Classic car races. Keep up the good work!
Hi towrnghrybear , Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing the low to high production. That was helpful, Lou
Back then it took awhile for a Drawing to become the clay Model and then make Production . But it does have that 56 Lincoln eyebrows with recessed head light and that rear bumper exhause eliptical opening on the Premiers . If it had quad lights up front it would pass for a 1958 FORD if someone didn't know both cars very well . 1958 was the year the National DOTS allowed the smaller quad set-up that had the seperate High beams to make it safer at night than the older large dual light when one failed . That light blue works well with the 3 colour interior . My video seems to make it look like there's a light green hue to the inside in some spots .
The DeSoto was lower priced than the Chrysler that it's based on, but it did not compete with the Dodge, it competed with Oldsmobile. It was more expensive than the Dodge, except for the new-for-57 Firesweep, which was a Dodge-based car.

Great stuff & car, good times . Interestingly, I must agree the Brakes/drivability preps, etc: admittedly I look closer at Factory/Dealer OEM CARS......Driving cars may be best...
Very nice as always Lou, thanks. Desotos are rare, that sound of the 341 if it was original was outstanding........ but what the h@£l is there cupholders and wrong fabrics on the front seat, thats not good. But it is a free country though.
Lower end product?????? Boy are you wrong....Desoto was an upper end product, dodge and Plymouth made up the cheap end in this time frame.....my god man....get it together. Crap I am afraid to watch the rest of the vid now...
