1956 DeSoto Adventurer

1956 DeSoto Adventurer - 320 horsepower hemi with dual 4 bbl Carter WCFBs,  and a demonstrated top speed of 144 mph (not by me!).  This was DeSoto's equivalent to the Chrysler 300B, Dodge D-500, and the Plymouth Fury, and was available in six exclusive color combinations of white & gold, black & gold, or black and white, with a gold & tweed interior to match.  Only 996 Adventurers were built, in a single two week run.  This car is equipped with the optional HighWay HiFi 16 rpm record player, the InstantAire gasoline heater, and the 16 jewel Benrus self winding steering wheel watch.  I have owned my Adventurer for almost 30 years - restoration was completed in 1990.

1956 DeSoto Pace Car Convertible

1956 DeSoto Indianapolis Pace Car convertible - When DeSoto was awarded the job of pacing the 1956 Indy 500 mile race, a Fireflite convertible was decked out in the Adventurer's exclusive color and trim package to do the honors.  An estimated 200-300 were also built for sale to the general public.    Two cars were prepared for the actual race (one as a backup), and it is highly probable that these were equipped with the 320 hp Adventurer engine in lieu of the standard 255 hp hemi.  Pat Flaherty won the race and was awarded the actual Pace Car.  This car was acquired in 1994,  restoration was completed in 2002, and it's first showing was the WPC fall show in Victoria, B.C.

1959 Chrysler Windsor four door Hardtop ( Canadian Production )
Bryan O'Quinn , Durham, NC

This car recently came to me from South Dakota, before that it was a Texas car… How a Canadian car ended up down in Texas, and then in South Dakota is yet to be determined. The car is much like the 59 Windsor built in America, but there are differences… The engine is a 383, but a “B” block, not a “RB” block. The interior matches that of a 59 Dodge Custom Royal, but the interior is original to the car. The glass in the car is tinted, but not the regular “Solex” glass you typically find.
Currently, the car has less than 23,000 miles on her, and will be made completely mechanically sound to become an almost-daily-driver!
Would LOVE to hear from other Canadian Chrysler owners… feel free to email me at   The60Whitewalls@aol.com

<>1950 Chrysler Windsor Newport Highlander.
 
Don Feller,  Portland Oregon  

“Winnie the New” has been in our family for 28 years and came with only 60K miles and in great condition.  Today at 80K miles she is ready for more touring.  She has been treated to a paint job & new front seat in 1978, and wire wheels recently.  She has faithfully taken us to Victoria, BC three times already for WPC meets and expect one more in 2007.  I took my driver’s exam at 16 in a ’50 Windsor and always appreciated the ‘fluid drive’, despite never being able to ‘burn some rubber’.

I have also done a little work to my 57 Suburban but except for the wheels and tires it is back to original. No PS or PB on the wagon just a 325 3 speed push button.
