GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this one of a kind 1950
DeSoto S-14 Custom Convertible for your consideration. Believed to
be one of twelve remaining convertibles left, this one of a kind
car has been owned and driven by Detroit's very own Bozo The Clown
for the past 33 years. This vehicle is coming to you in the
original exterior color "Princess Yellow" that is done just right
and shows extremely well, it is paired to a maroon/cream interior
that is in mint condition showing very minimal wear throughout.
This S14 is powered by the original 236 ci I6 paired to the
original fluid drive "semi-automatic" transmission that works
extremely well together. This vehicle starts right up with a turn
of the key and drives as smooth as silk. According to the owner,
this vehicle has new brakes, all new weather-stripping, new top,
new top hydraulics, optional bumper guards, light up DeSoto
optional dual mirrors and much more. Please call or email us today
for more information on this 1950 DeSoto S14 Custom.
The DeSoto Custom is an automobile produced by DeSoto from 1939
until the 1952 model year. While in production, the Custom was
DeSoto's top-trim level car, and was offered in a wide array of
body styles, including a 7-passenger sedan and the
extended-wheelbase Suburban sedans. The Custom shared its engine
design with the Deluxe, and were powered by Chrysler's L-head 236.7
six-cylinder engine, delivering 109 bhp (81 kW) at 3,600 rpm.
Custom models, along with Deluxe models, produced during the 1946,
1947, 1948 and first half of the 1949 model years used DeSoto's
prewar bodies. A fully redesigned Custom was launched in the second
half of 1949, along with a redesigned Deluxe, and these cars are
referred to as "1949 Second Series" models. In 1950, the Custom
range gained DeSoto's first consumer-designed station wagon. The
Custom also received DeSoto's first hardtop coupe, which featured
pillarless door design and which was trimmed to convertible
standards. Standard equipment included two-speed electric
windshield wipers, a trunk light and full carpeting.
