Speaking of '59 DeSotos, I finally found an owner's manual for my '59
Fireflite. It isn't in the greatest shape, but neither is my car. I found
it at the Detroit Autorama this past weekend. No Forewardlook cars showed
up, but it didn't surprise me. The dealer that I bought the manual from had
a good selection of stuff from the '55-'61 Mopar era (but not the '59 DeS
supplimental shop manual). His name is Bruce Roth ph# (219)744-1154

Since I've been spending time in the Detroit area, I stopped by the WPC
Museum to take a look around. It's a nice place and I had a great time. It
really is worth a visit.
To answer the question about the starter solenoid for the '59 DeSoto
w/383...I got mine from Tilbert's Brake and Allignment in Escanaba, MI (my
hometown) for about 70 bucks. Later I found them for sale in the Gary Goers
catalog for cheaper than that.Eli Collins ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com |
