Description

The DeSoto Custom is an automobile produced by DeSoto from 1939 until the 1952 model year. While in production the Custom was DeSoto's top-trim level car and was offered in a wide array of body styles including a 7-passenger sedan and the extended-wheelbase Suburban sedans. The Custom shared its engine design with the Deluxe and were powered by Chrysler's L-head 236.7 six-cylinder engine delivering 109 bhp (81 kW) at 3600 rpm. Custom models along with Deluxe models produced during the 1946 1947... 1948 and first half of the 1949 model years used DeSoto's prewar bodies. A fully redesigned Custom was launched in the second half of 1949 along with a redesigned Deluxe and these cars are referred to as "1949 Second Series" models. In 1950 the Custom range gained DeSoto's first consumer-designed station wagon. The Custom also received DeSoto's first hardtop coupe which featured pillarless door design and which was trimmed to convertible standards. Standard equipment included two-speed electric windshield wipers a trunk light and full carpeting.
