Great and unique vehicle. Always gathers a crowd at shows, and a ton of ?thumbs ups? when being driven. Winged Goddess hood ornament (NOS) from a 1941 DeSoto...very cool. People love that it's different than most cars at car shows. Insured for $35,000 but selling for $28,000 cash (just reduced...and firm). Only reluctantly selling so I can buy another classic car I have found.
