i recently got this cool Danbury mint 1956 desoto fireflight convertible. the car had issues like some bad paint spots and the convertible windshield and frame were smashed. rather than turn it into my normal type of rusty junker i decided to just make it an average Joe's pride and joy daily driver hardtop.i have three adventurer hardtop models and between those i made one decent adventurer that still needs a windshield and this one. one of the other two had a crushed roof and the other has real bad paint.i took what parts i needed for this one and repainted the roof black to match the black on the sides of the car.i switched all hardtop parts like the inner trunk interior panels and back sill and did the conversion. i am not concerned about perfection as this is just a family mans driver.
