The Modeling Hermit Posted March 28 Posted March 28 If I keep saving cars from the junkyard diorama, it will never grow. This 1960 Desoto did quite merit saving. After removing the paint, I did discover many body issues that needed addressing. The only thing that I was never able to conquer was the wheels, which had a very thick layer of glue on them. I chose to 'tack' hubcaps on them, until I find proper replacements. It is a respectable shelf model, and most worthy of the efforts to save it. 12
Mike 1017 Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I have a set of stock 1959 Imperial wheel covers. They will look great on your DeSoto until you find the ones that you want PM me if you want them and I will send you pictures. Mike
stavanzer Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Great Save on a great car! The 2 shades of Blue you chose are an excellent choice.
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 30 Posted March 30 (edited) Nize indeed. I'd rather save a sad old model than build a new one. Edited March 30 by Ace-Garageguy
olschoolkid Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Very nice job saving a great car you don't see much anymore. I have always admired the look of DeSotos. There used to be a junkyard not far from where I grew up that had a few variants. I wish I could've saved at least one, but I was just a kid at the time.
