The DeSoto line was restyled for 1949 and featured shorter front and rear overhangs as well as a taller roofline compared to previous models. The Deluxe station wagon was introduced for the year and represented DeSoto’s first wagon offering since the 1930s. This example is said to have been repainted tan in the 1990s and features chrome bumpers and brightwork, a split-folding tailgate, wood body panels, a steel roof, dual cowl spotlights, a hood ornament, and driving lamps.…
The DeSoto line was restyled for 1949 and featured shorter front and rear overhangs as well as a taller roofline compared to previous models. The Deluxe station wagon was introduced for the year and represented DeSoto’s first wagon offering since the 1930s. This example is said to have been repainted tan in the 1990s and features chrome bumpers and brightwork, a split-folding tailgate, wood body panels, a steel roof, dual cowl spotlights, a hood ornament, and driving lamps. A touched-up scratch on the right fender can be seen in the gallery below.
Black 15″ steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are mounted with H78-15 Coker Classic bias-ply whitewall tires, while a matching spare is mounted in a body-color cover on the tailgate. Stopping power is provided by drums at all four corners, and new brake cylinders and hoses were installed in 2022.
The cabin features three rows of bench seating trimmed in brown vinyl with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Features include an AM radio, a heater, a locking glovebox, and second-row lap belts.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome trim ring and fronts a steel dashboard with engine-turned panels and painted woodgrain trim. Instrumentation includes a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for amperage, water temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 99k miles, and total mileage is unknown.
The 236ci inline-six was factory rated at 112 horsepower. Maintenance performed in 2022 included the replacement of the battery, spark plugs, wires, and freeze plugs, along with a service of the ignition system.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a column-shifted three-speed Fluid Drive semi-automatic transmission. The fuel system was serviced in 2022.
