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’.
