Hi all!
Wonder if someone could give some information about my Sotos history in Usa?
Car has been imported to Sweden 2009, then to Finland 2013. I have been told it was bought from Pensylvania to Sweden 2009.
Vin is 7103101262.
Cheers Jarmo
The NDC maintains a 1960 DeSoto registry of known cars. You can contact Jim who manages that to see if he has any history on your car. You can find his email here: www.desoto.org/1960-2
Since Pennsylvania is near Maryland, I would reach out to our very active Maryland chapter of the NDC and see if anyone knows the car. You can contact them through the email listed here: www.desoto.org/chapters
If neither of those yield anything, you can place a free "Information Wanted" ad in the magazine. I would include all of the information about the car you provided here, along with a photo if that can be accepted. Instructions for placing ads and deadlines can be found in every magazine you receive.
If you have not already, you should Google search the serial number (VIN) to see if it was listed online for sale at any other time.
Lastly, I also recommend reaching out to Chrysler Historical to request a free copy of your build card. They will also tell you the original dealer's name and location if known. All information for ordering that can be found here: www.desoto.org/historical
Thanks, i did send email to Maryland chapter.
Now i got this:

Can anyone decode sheet?
@jarmosirkia I started working on decoding your car based on the build card you provided. Would you also be able to post a photo of your data plate (located on the outside of the driver's side door jamb/firewall/cowl, visible when the door is open)? I'd like to clarify a couple of the things I am looking at, primarily the paint code. Your build card appears to read "TN2", which is in the format of a typical paint code, but I do not see any "T" on the chart. I'm wondering if the build card is misprinted, illegible, or if it really does read "T". Seeing the code as-stamped on the metal data plate might clarify this.
Ok, here is picture. Thanks David
