The Custom was made from 1946 until 1952 by DeSoto,
a car maker that was a division of Chrysler. It was
the top trim model from the company, and it came
in a wide selection of body styles, including an
extended wheelbase sedan called the
Suburban. |

The engine in these cars was a Chrysler
L-head 236.7 six cylinder making 109 horsepower at
3600 RPM. The model was changed significantly during
mid-year 1949. The latter half (the newer models)
were called the 1949 Second Series to differentiate
them from the older models from early that year.
In 1950 a station wagon was added to the line, along
with a hardtop coupe. The Firedome and Powermaster
replaced the Custom and the Deluxe lines following
1952. If you are looking to buy one of these classic
cars there are several places where you can look.
Hemmings catalog is very popular with collectors,
but I've found their listing get outdated somewhat
quickly (it's still great to look at the rare cars
and see where the market prices for older cars is
going). I'm actually a huge fan of using eBay to
buy older cars. The prices tend to be lower than
collector car classified ads, and you know the listings
are not out of date, since they expire after 7 or
10 days. |
