We have a monthly small local cruise night that I occasionally go to. It’s been a while since I’d had the 57 Plymouth out, so Friday I pulled it from hibernation gave it a bath and put on its annual fresh coat of wax.





Like I said it’s a small cruise….. usually only 20-30 cars but there is usually something new that shows up. The 2 tone blue 52 DesSoto with the hood up is fresh out of the shop of a friend of mine. It’s a tight fit, but he managed to get a V10 in it (sorry I didn’t get any better pictures of it).




All in all not a bad way to spend a Feb afternoon.

Nice 57. Is that a poly motor?

“…..Is that a poly motor?.....”


Naw, when I put it together I used a 56 354 (with Tri-Power) an A833 overdrive 4 speed and a 9 ¼” with 4.10 gears.









It’s pretty low tech compared to what some of the guys here are doing with their old fin cars, but I still have a lot of fun with it.

I know this is one of those lame useless replies but;

Nice car, thank you for posting. up

It gives some of us buried (really) in snow a lot of encouragement.

Just my opinion, but you have one of the nicest cars on all of Moparts.

Does your friend have a build thread posted anywhere on the DeSoto?

And yes, your 57 is very nice.
