The Deluxe was the base trim model line from car
maker DeSoto (a division of Chrysler) from 1946 until
1952. There was also an extended wheelbase model
called the Suburban.

The main difference between the Deluxe and the upscale
Custom model were less trim and fewer options on
the Deluxe. The engine was the same L-head 236.7
six cylinder made by Chrysler and used in the Custom,
making 109 horsepower. 1946, 1947, 1948, and 1949
models used the same DeSoto body style that was used
prior to ceasing production for World War II. In
the second half of the 1949 model year the newly
redesigned model was introduced, and this model is
now commonly referred to as the 1949 Second Series.
The Deluxe was eventually replaced by the Powermaster
in 1953. These cars are somewhat rare, but you can
still find them in classic car classifieds such as
Hemmings, or even on bigger online auction sites
like eBay. I've noticed that at any given time there
are usually 3 or 4 Deluxe models listed on eBay,
and they tend to sell for significantly less than
similar-condition models listed in classifieds. |
