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.

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.
