I have a problem.
I can figure out if the 1950 Desoto Carryall is a Deluxe or a Custom.
This site shows the 2nd photo on the right side as a Custom:

But, then we go here to see it called a Deluxe:

Ralph,
For what it is worth, Don Butler's Plymouth and DeSoto Story lists the 1950 Carry-All as a DeLuxe model. A quick review of the 1950 sales folder here: http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/N ... e%20B.html
shows the Carry-All has DeLuxe trim, not Custom trim.
I'm no 1950 expert, so welcome others input.
Mark
