Hope for The Desoto

from The Thing About Cars

Hope has a 1958 Desoto Firesweep that she bought in 2009. We find out what are the joys and troubles of owning a car from a brand that has been defunct for many decades. Hope lets us know where you may have seen her car before, if some of the work that it requires, currently allows it to be driven by Fred Flintstone, and what she's done in its back seat. Ben joins the party a little late as he is suffering from motorcycle lag, but he is able to offer some encouragement and hope to Hope. Our trivia question concerns Porsche's synthetic fuel. We welcome your support via Patreon and your questions and feedback via our website.
