I am not sure where to go with this, but the dealership that my Desoto was purchased from is not on the dealership list. My Desoto was purchased from Royce Motors in East Aurora NY. This is verified by the dealer emblem on the car. I believe that Royce Motors was purchased and became Ess and Fones. Ken Fones was my uncle. I had no idea any of this when Ken was alive so I need to dig into it more to verify the dealership purchase.
Yet another tidbit that makes my desoto more special to my family. This Desoto is one of the best things that has happened to my family in years!!
Tim: Thanks for the information, I will add the name to our dealer list
What year is your Desoto? I will use it as our reference for the dealership
Is the car still in western NY?

You might want to add Kuhns Motor Co in Moorestown, NJ.
That is where my 39 DeSoto was purchased. Pictured on page 7 of the latest issue of the Adventures is the original dealer decal.

Chris: Thanks

My desoto is a 1950 Custom. The original version is on page 16 of the photo gallery. The new version was just posted a couple of months ago.
The car spent its entire life in western New York. The first 58 years in a tiny little town of Eagle and the next 5 in Warsaw. It has been in Webster since.
