I haven't been to the Brain-Melting Colorado Junkyard (where I bought my 1941 Plymouth sedan) for a while, but I've still got quite a few photographs of the thousands of old American cars that live there. We've seen this '62 Cadillac, this '52 Kaiser, this '49 Kaiser, this '51 Nash, this '51 Frazer, this mystery custom, this '48 Pontiac hearse, and a few more, and today we'll admire an example of DeSoto's final years.
The Swedes who come to the Brain-Melting Junkyard every year and fill shipping containers with old American cars and parts may have grabbed this car by now, since they love big finned American sedans in Scandinavia.
It's pretty rusty, but most of the trim and glass look good.
Most of the cars were saved from The Crusher by the yard's owner, who spent decades hanging around the gates of Denver's scrappers, offering a few bucks more than the going rate for anything interesting. Better that this one get shipped to Europe than head back to the steel jaws.
