Lee...thanks for finding and posting. A very well-written, reasonably accurate article. Time marches on...

If you own a 1937-1958 DeSoto , there is a reasonably good chance your car was made at the Wyoming Faciity
Roger: Do we still have some bricks from the portion that was torn down in the early 90's?
According to research, the last DeSoto was a 2 door hardtop, turquoise and white like the picture in the article
Thanks for the link to this nice article. I think, however, that the month listed in this article is wrong for the last De Soto. It's my understanding that the last De Soto was made towards the end of November, 1960, not December. Most records state the 30th, but I have heard/read that production actually ended on the 29th.

My build sheet says Nov.30th
