Past NDC Conventions

The annual National DeSoto Club conventions are a multi-day (usually Wed-Sun) event and are one of the best ways to meet other members, make lifelong friends, network, and learn about the different DeSoto cars. The conventions combine a couple days of sightseeing (usually with a caravan of DeSotos of course), reunions with friends, and of course an all-Desoto car show and move around the United States (and also twice in Canada), depending on who volunteers to host it. If you have never been to a convention, you can check out http://www.desoto.org/events for information on the next convention and check out the links below to see what you are missing! If you have been to one before, enjoy reminiscing or catching up on missed years!

Note: You do not have to be a dues-paying member of the National DeSoto Club to spectate at the show. You do, however, have to be a member to participate in any events, including showing a DeSoto.
