It's Delightful! It's Delovely! It's... DeSoto Automobiles

Between its introduction in 1928 and its end in 1961, DeSoto offered 32 years of distinctive styling, vibrant colors, and strong performance. Marketed as "a lot of car for the money, " DeSoto achieved notable sales and earned a lasting place in American automotive history.

The brand was purely American. The elegant flying lady hood ornament of the DeSoto S-11 evokes a time when cars were as much art as transportation, reflecting an era now gone.

This book provides a concise history of the DeSoto marque, showcasing its evolution and highlights. Richly illustrated with color photographs, period advertisements, artist sketches, and contemporary black-and-white factory images, it captures the design, craftsmanship, and charm of these remarkable cars. Enthusiasts and collectors will find a clear and accessible guide to one of America's classic automotive brands.
