1959 DeSoto Shopper needs a new owner


http://californiacollectorcars.com/colcar_info.php?id_car_info=1059

One of 271 made. Has front discs, modern rear end, Mopar electronic ignition, Optima battery, WW radials. Original rebuilt 383 4 bbl., Torqueflite trans., luggage rack, registered to Calif. vintage YOM plates. New cover, lots of parts & literature included.

This looks very similar to another wagon I've never heard of, the Dodge Sierra Spectator. It had a rear facing 3rd bench, and the spare tire is actually located up in the wheel well and was accessed by removing a specially built removable fender skirt behind the rear wheel. http://freiburgersjunkyard.com/blog/Cool-Old-Pres-Photos-57-Dodge-Sierra-Spectator-Wagon.html
