One of a Kind

In November 2001, my son Jason was working for a trucking company in North Andover, Mass. that was storing their trucks in the back of an auto body and repair shop. That was where he and I spotted a 1931 De Soto SA wooden station wagon, with 32,741 miles on the odometer, in the corner of the body shop. It was partially covered with an tarp and over-sprayed dust. The wood it has is great shape and original.

Jason chatted a bit with the owner of the shop who told us that his friend had purchased it in New York in 1994, and had stored it here since then. His mechanics had tried to get it running again and attempted to get the brakes working, without any success.

I inquired if the owner’s friend wanted to sell it, and he told me that he would ask him and get back to me.
