Mileage 13478 Engine Flathead side-valve 6 cylinder Rego SAI955 Just arrived - This 1955 Desoto Diplomat Custom is a very honest classic. An Australian-delivered vehicle, the Desoto were assembled from a CKD kit in the Mile End Chrysler factory. This Desoto is driven by a Flathead side-valve 6-cylinder and a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive. It displays evidence of having an older restoration at some point in its life, though it presents as a straight and honest vehicle. The current owner has possessed the vehicle for approximately 4 years and has fitted an electronic ignition. The Desoto runs and drives very nicely, and has tonnes of potential. Eligible for historic registration, the plates "SAI955" are also available to go with the car if it stays in SA. Keep the patina look or restore it to its former glory, this is the perfect base for wherever your dreams take you. Contact Ben Finnis - 0411 744 190. Interstate transport can be arranged.
