The blue DeSoto Six SC from 1932, 3364 cc, 76 HP, max. speed 110 km/h.
DeSoto (sometimes De Soto) was an American automobile marque that was manufactured and marketed by the DeSoto division of Chrysler Corporation from 1928 to the 1961 model year. More than two million passenger cars and trucks bore the DeSoto brand in North American markets during its existence.
In 1914, the De Soto Six was joined with a two-cylinder cyclecar where it only accommodated two passengers that sat in tandem, or the driver in front and the passenger behind, and was listed at US$385 ($11,248 in 2022 dollars). There were plans to move manufacturing to Fort Wayne in 1915 and rename the company as Motorette, but when there were deaths in the Zimmerman family, the company was bought by Auburn Automobile Company.
In 1929 a total of 81,065 single-model DeSoto Sixes were produced, a first-year record in the U.S. until eclipsed by the 1960 Ford Falcon.
