@Cheesy, that ol' girl is just absolutely beautiful. Stunning. Would love to see a shot of the dash, as if I recall correctly, they were very art deco (been forever since I've seen one, so I may be wrong on that). Anyway, I always look forward to seeing pics of the DeSoto, and stories of Owen.Washed the winter dust off the DeSoto.

Spent the last day and a half dicking with a cracked elbow on the oil filter return pipe. Five minutes to replace the elbow. The rest of the time was pulling the starter to get to the elbow, putting the starter back in, and reinstalling the oil filter. This includes looking for the wrench that was just in my hand, crawling under the car to get the wrench I just dropped, crawling out from under the car because I left the wrench I needed under car on top of the engine. Also found other things that need to be dealt with in the future. Anyone that thinks older cars were easier to work on never worked on one of these.
*Sorry, @Cheesy...I referred to Owen as "Warren" originally. I knew something wasn't right. I finally saw my mistake.
