In today’s world of plastic coated compacts, it is easy to forget just how big the full-size cars of 50 years ago actually were.Weighing in at just under 2-tons, there was nothing subtle about this graceful, four-door hardtop, with 18 feet of sculpted sheet metal flowing liquid like from the leading edge of a massive chrome grill to the tips of the twin tail fins.This 1960 DeSoto Adventurer four door Hardtop was priced at $3,727.00. The highest priced DeSoto for 1960. The Fireflite Four Door Sedan was the lowest at $3,017.00. Engine performance was down on the 1960 DeSoto's but the Fins were still flying high.Please contact John Sherman at 314-291-7000 or [email protected] with any questions.
