Well at least you got me to enter Desotoland. Been a Desoto driver again since Friday when I got the 48 Suburban out of storage. Boy its neat to have it going again for a while. Still just barely has 16,000 miles on it even with the weekends foolishness. Had it since Easter of 83 so time to play again. Its actually running stronger than I remembered it did. For a nine passenger vehicle with a flathead six the expectations aren't too high actually!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Duricy" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 11:45 AM Subject: Re: [FWDLK] 1959 DeSoto Seville? > Dave, > > Indeed, I can provide you with some background on the '59 Seville. > > For 1959, Seville was a Spring Special package offered by DeSoto on > hardtops in the Firesweep and Firedome car lines.
