This beautifully restored 1948 DeSoto Custom stands out for its exceptional interior work, featuring a custom headliner executed with remarkable attention to detail by an experienced upholstery specialist. The flathead six-cylinder engine runs smoothly with a recently rebuilt carburetor and new fuel pump. All doors and windows operate properly, though the rear driver's side window benefits from lubrication.

The sought-after suicide doors retain all new seals. The car shows excellent overall condition with some minor cosmetic work remaining: the front and rear bumper pads display surface rust, chrome trim could benefit from re-chroming in select areas, and a glove box door, two rear fender trim pieces, and a trunk emblem are missing. The brake system is currently undergoing service with necessary parts replacement.

This 95-percent-complete example offers an ideal project for the enthusiast who appreciates authentic restoration quality and vintage DeSoto character.
