1/25 2760-140 Jo-Han 1960 Desoto Adventurer Two Door Hardtop

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good-

Rare original issue. This is a one-owner kit purchased new in Lexington KY in the early 1960s. The model is very well molded and with excellent detail for that time. Model features full engine and detailed compartment, opening hood, full interior, spotlight, gearshift/turn signal/tach assembly, seat belts and side view mirrors. Molded in white/ivory, clear, red-tinted clear, chrome plate parts and rubber tires. Chrome and clear are in 'excellent' condition. Inside, the kit is like new. It has never been started and is inventoried complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. The long, low lines and graceful fins stretching from the "A" pillar to the taillights made for a beautiful Desoto. Sales in 1960 lagged, however. It was not that the car was bad - the cars were reliable and stunning performers. Desoto was more the victim of corporate political infighting than anything else. The 1960s were the last full line, with a brief introduction of two Desoto Automobiles in 1961. Since Desoto cars were still in demand, some dealerships even sued the Chrysler Corporation for discontinuing the line.
