Door County DeSoto

Door County DeSoto, originally uploaded by Dennis Jenders.

Driving on Highway 42 in Door County I came across this rusted Chrysler DeSoto. My guess is that it’s about a 1940′s model.

I really would like to drive by this in the Summer to see if I could capture a wider shot. I think the rusted exterior would blend so much better into a lush green environment than the February snow.

The DeSoto is named after Spanish explorer and conquistador Hernando de Soto who was the first documented European to reach the mighty Mississippi river. The DeSoto brand was born in 1928 and lived just over 30 years for Chrysler. With only two million models rolling off the production line, I imagine these cars are hard to find.
