1960 Desoto Adventurer (1/25) (fs)
The 1960 DeSoto line exhibited a fresh, new look. The second generation
of the "Forward Look" cars, dramatic when introduced in 1957, had become
fussier in the course of being freshened for 1958 and 1959. The 1960
model year brought "Unibody" construction to all domestic Chrysler
Corporation cars except Imperials.
Virgil Exner's styling for the unit-body senior 1960 Mopars had
sweeping, outwardly canting fins, rising from a point midway on the
front door and ending in "boomÂerang" taillights. A wide-mouth grille
incorporating triangular parking lights at its lower far corners looked a
bit like it had just visited the orthodontist, but the overall effect
was harmonious, just a bit flashier than that of the similarly shaped
Chryslers.
Only 3092 of the 1960 two door hardtop coupe were manufactured. The
price tag was $3663.00
