This is the earliest Desoto Diplomat that I have seen and probably one of the earliest ones still alive.
Based on a Plymouth platform and made for the export market. They were not available for the domestic market.
This one is on a museum in New Zealand http://www.wanakatransportandtoymuseum.com/
Lee, the car is pretty sweet. Are you trying to get it? We can only wish, I guess.

I have my hands full with the Diplomat I have now. I am just glad to see such an early example still alive and kicking. The Diplomat series is an important part of the whole Desoto story and needs to be studied, preserved and cherished for what it is.
