  DeSoto (automobile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The DeSoto (sometimes De Soto) was a brand of automobile based in the United States, marketed by the Chrysler Corporation from 1928 to 1961.
The DeSoto Adventurer, introduced for 1956 as a hard-top coupe, became a full-range model in 1960.
By the time the 1961 DeSoto was introduced, in the fall of 1960, rumors spread that Chrysler was moving towards terminating the brand; these were fueled partly by the reduction of model offerings for the 1960 model year.
