I have been interested in the DeSoto brand since I was a kid watching Happy Days back in the 1970s. In my late 50s, I returned to music. While I have never considered myself a songwriter since I cannot write the music itself, I do enjoy writing lyrics and stories.
Over the past few years, I have been creating songs inspired by the different decades of music I have enjoyed throughout my life. For my tribute to the 1950s, I wrote a song about a young man, his girl, and his 1951 DeSoto Custom Convertible. A rainy night, a stalled engine, and a lonely road lead to an unexpected evening neither of them will ever forget.
The song, "Cold Night in My DeSoto," by Michael L Pfeifer, is available on Amazon Music, Apple Music, and most major streaming platforms. If you would like to take a listen, I would be honored.
Here is the cover art I created for the song.
Thanks for sharing! NDC member Tim Holbert owns the exact same car as featured in your song. Coincidence?
Possibly, I based the car on my cover from a photo I saw on the Internet a few months ago. I thought it was a beautiful example and I wanted a convertible of that year for the song since it was before DeSoto waterproofed their ignition system (from what I had read years ago).
@Tim Holbert - If your car looks like this, my hats off to you for keeping it so nice. 😀
