De Soto 1959 Diplomat

The '59 Diplomat was powered by the "Golden Commando" 5.9 litre V8 engine, but a 'small' 3.7-litre 6 cylinder was also available. The fins were impressive, but nothing compared with the 1960 models.

Jacques Dujardin has sent in these fine photos of Dinky Toy Desotos in excellent condition.
