I received the following email for a Coronado being auctioned off. There aren't many photos, but it looks like it may be a true diamond in the rough being a California car.

 

Hi,

 
I wanted reach out to your group as I am helping a friend sell a 1955 Desoto Fireflite Coronado that is in the estate of Allee Willis. (Allee Willis was a songwriter and her compositions include the classic hits "September," "Boogie Wonderland," the theme song from the TV series Friends, and the Tony-winning musical The Color Purple)
 
The Desoto is a California car and has been in storage for the past 10 years,
 
I hope it is ok that I am attaching a few photos of the car.
 
Currently this Desoto is being auctioned by the Willis Wonderland Foundation and the current price is $1000 (as is)

Please contact me if you’d like any other information regarding the Desoto. I just reached out to get the mileage, title / registration info.
 
And please feel free to share this Desoto with your members.
 
All the best,

I reached out to Barbara and inquired about the mileage and it is believed to be 107006.  The car hasn't been started or driven since put in storage ten years ago.  It will need to be towed.  There is no reserve and will go to the highest bidder.  The last bid that I saw showed only $4650.00 with two days left.

$5,050 and ends overnight. I think someone is getting a good deal at that price.

Sold for $5500.00.  Seems like a pretty good deal especially since there aren't many Coronado's around.
