GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this stylish 1933 Chrysler DeSoto Sedan. This clean machine comes in a striking cayenne red pearl paint job complemented by a gray interior. The current owner stated this vehicle was restored in 2015 to include a 4-barrel, 350ci motor, and automatic transmission. The 350ci motor has a mild street cam installed which increases the power output while maintaining driveability. Additional features of the DeSoto include four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, power brakes as...well as working heat and A/C. This vehicle has been well maintained and comes with a folder of receipts for vehicle maintenance completed. Please call or email us for more information. The DeSoto make was founded by Walter Chrysler on August 4, 1928, and introduced for the 1929 model year. It was named after the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto. Chrysler wanted to enter the brand in competition with its arch-rivals General Motors, Studebaker, and Willys-Knight, in the mid-price class. Shortly after DeSoto was introduced, however, Chrysler completed its purchase of the Dodge Brothers, giving the company two mid-priced makes. Initially, the two-make strategy was relatively successful, with DeSoto priced below Dodge models. Despite the economic times, DeSoto sales were relatively healthy, pacing Dodge at around 25,000 units in 1932. In fact, when DeSoto first came out in 1929, it broke the first-year sales record, with 81,065 cars sold, and was not beaten until 1960 by the Ford Falcon.
