DeSoto Adventurer 4-door Hardtop '60 1960
General description :
Extensive dossierVery rare carExtremely well restoredOnly 2.760 madeComplete engine and gear box revisionThe DeSoto Adventurer was produced from 1956 through the 1960 model year. The Adventurer name first started out a four seat high performance sports coupe concept car, but then was changed to be DeSoto's special, limited-production, high-performance model, similar to the more luxurious and exclusive Chrysler 300. While in production, the Adventurer was DeSoto’s top-trim level car, replacing the DeSoto Custom, and offered only as a hardtop coupe in 1956. The model range grew when the coupe was joined by a convertible in 1957, and a four-door hardtop and sedan. In its final year of 1961, DeSoto would offer a single car line, offered in two body styles. Chrysler announced the end of DeSoto in November 1960, with production lasting just long enough to deplete supplies of DeSoto trim on hand.SpecificationsBodyworkLength: cm (in): 551 (217)Width: cm (in): 202 (79.4)Height: cm (in): 140 (55)Wheelbase: cm (in): 310 (122)Weight: kg (lb): 1870 (4120)Mechanics.Displacement: Chrysler B-Series V8 6277 cc (383 cu in) front-mountedValve gear: 16Fuel system: Carter 2-barrelGearbox: 3-speed automaticDriven wheels: rear-wheel driveMaximum power: 305 bhp at 4600 rpmMaximum torque: 556 Nm at 2400 rpmMaximum speed: 199 km/h (124 mph) For more pictures scroll down! >>>>>>Oldtimerfarm specializes in consignment sales of vintage and collection cars and we are proud to present you this car.

About DeSoto
Wanting to enter the competition with its arch-rivals General Motors, Studebaker, and Willys-Knight, in the mid-price class, Walter Chrysler introduced in 1928 The DeSoto make, named after the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto.In 1934, an attempt was made to elevate DeSoto by introducing Chrysler's streamlined Airflow bodies on the shorter DeSoto chassis. This created an initial sales flop, but made an interesting collectors' car
After a period of low sales the brand was finally discontinued in 1961.
